For me, photography is more than pictures; it’s about creating the kind of images that make you stop, smile, and wish time would slow down. My hope is that the photos we create together will be printed, framed, and passed down as part of your family’s story for years to come.

Ten years ago, when my youngest sister was born, I discovered my love for photography.  As my sister outgrew the camera, I decided to turn my passion into a craft when I began Mia Colone Photo LLC in 2019.

Hi, I’m Mia! I spend my days as both a healthcare student and a lifestyle newborn photographer. Chicago is home, and it inspires me daily. My early childhood is trapped inside an old, disabled Verizon LG phone kept in the family junk-drawer. Having children in a time where cellphone portraits are sufficient, my mom wasn't big on things like family photos and school picture day. What she didn't realize was the unreliability of these devices to preserve our memories. In high school, I realized when submitting a childhood portrait for yearbook, that I have at most 10 tangible photos of myself before the age seven. I do not have newborn photos and parents do not have wedding photos. This absence left a sense of nostalgia for moments that I've since forgotten. It was a realization that led me to begin my journey not only to fill our photo albums with memories, but to help other's fill theirs.
