Meet Your Photographer
Hey there, I’m Patricia! I am a luxury maternity and newborn photographer, working from my in-home studio in Michigan City, Indiana. Conveniently located just a short drive from Chicago, South Bend, Michiana, and Southwestern Michigan, I proudly serve families throughout Northwest Indiana, the Greater Chicago region, and beyond.
My journey began over 11 years ago, when I was just 16 with nothing but a camera and a dream. What started as a way to help my single mother raise my brothers and pay the bills grew into a passion for celebrating our strength as women—helping them feel confident, beautiful, and worthy throughout the transformative journey of motherhood.
Now, as a mother myself, I run my cozy in-home studio full time, often working alongside my best friend and assistant (and with my son nearby!). With well over a decade of professional experience, I specialize in maternity and newborn photography, while also capturing your baby’s milestones, yearly family portraits, senior portraits, engagements, the occasional wedding, and even boudoir. No matter the stage of life you’re in, I’ll be here to capture it all with intention and care.
I proudly serve families across Northwest Indiana, Southwestern Michigan, the Michiana area, and the greater Chicago region. I’m here to make your photography experience seamless, empowering, and as unforgettable as you.
I believe every woman deserves to see herself as powerful, beautiful, and worthy — especially during the transformative journey that is motherhood.
Capturing moments of strength and love, knowing they will be cherished for generations. This is why I love what I do.
I'm the oldest of six children, and growing up, I naturally took on a caretaker role with my younger brothers. With a 13-year age gap between me and my next oldest sibling, I was often referred to as the "mini-mom."
In 2023, my wife and I welcomed our son, Damian, into the world a little over a month early. He’s the light of my life and my greatest motivation in everything I do. Since expanding our family further isn’t an option for us, we’re excited to begin the journey of opening our home to foster children within the next year.
Motherhood
I started my business in 2014 at just 16 years old, inspired by the joy of having baby siblings at home. From the beginning, I knew newborn and maternity photography was my calling. Since becoming a mom myself, that passion has grown even deeper. One of my biggest regrets is not having maternity photos with my son, and it’s become my driving force. I’m dedicated to making women feel empowered and beautiful — capturing their strength and radiance, even when they may not see it themselves.

Behind the Scenes
Meet The Team!
Behind every newborn photoshoot, there’s more than just me! While I may be the one creating the images, my incredible assistant, [Kendra], is truly the heartbeat of the studio.
She is my safety net for spotting baby, my second set of hands, my professional baby snuggler, and captures most of my behind the scenes content. She ensures every session runs smoothly. She allows me to focus fully on capturing timeless those timeless portraits that celebrate your growing family. Together, we provide a seamless, stress-free experience so you can relax and enjoy your experience.
