Nadia Micaela Photography | 1 Year Recap

2024-2025

Wow! It’s hard to believe June marks the official launch of Nadia Micaela Photography! I am so amazed at all the doors the Lord has opened over the past 12 months — I never would have imagined I would shoot multiple family and senior sessions, and three weddings in three different states (Indiana, Illinois, and Texas) all in the first year of business!

Places I’ve shot in the past 12 months include:

– Fort Wayne, Indiana

– Angola, Indiana

– Baton Rouge, Louisiana

– Walker, Louisiana

– Crawfordville, Georgia

– St. Petersburg, Florida

– Aurora, Illinois

– Quinlan, Texas

I have loved capturing so many special memories and milestones for families both locally and in other states! Looking forward to what Summer + Fall of 2025 has in store.

Enjoy many favorites and some behind the scenes from the past 12 months! Let’s be glad my camera quality is better than my cell phone camera quality, haha! 😉

In Christ,

Nadia
