McDonald Studio is the oldest photography studio in the Michiana area. Founded in 1861 McDonald Studio is a family run business by owners David & Ann Patnaude, who took over from Ray Patnaude (David's father) in the 1990's. Their talented staff of award winning photographers include David, Peter and Dennis.

McDonald Studio stays on the cutting edge of digital technology, with state of the art cameras and photo printers.

There are two studio locations for McDonald Studio, the main business office in downtown South Bend where Lincolnway and LaSalle divide. Our second studio is located on South Ironwood Dr. where beautiful outdoor sittings are done.
