You’re doing it all—raising little ones, managing the chaos, pouring yourself into your family.
Most days, you barely have a second to breathe, let alone plan a photo session. The outfits, the timing, hoping the kids cooperate…it’s a lot.
But you deserve to be in the frame, too.
That’s where I come in—to make it easy, stress-free, and truly meaningful. So you can just show up and love on your people while I take care of the rest.

"Each photo felt natural, timeless, and full of personality."
Kate was incredibly professional, patient, and talented. She captured the most beautiful moments during my daughter’s glitter session. She made my daughter feel comfortable and confident, which really showed in the final shots. We’re beyond thrilled with the results and will treasure these photos forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for stunning, high-quality portraits and a photographer who truly cares!
— Sarah Beers
"Kate is simply the best!"
Patient and kind with our kids and knocks it out of the park with our images every time!!

"Kate has been unbelievably understanding and flexible."
From the start, she’s been so thoughtful, responsive, and easy to work with. Even when we had to cancel last minute, she handled it with total grace. I can already tell she’s a five-star professional who truly cares.
— Nicole Niles
"Kate was an absolute DREAM to work with."
She made my 35-week maternity session feel effortless and captured stunning images so efficiently. Her wardrobe options were beautiful and photographed even better than what I brought myself. We can’t wait to come back for our newborn session!
— Michelle Kim
"We’ve had 4 amazing sessions with Kate over the past 2+ years!"
She’s professional, warm, and consistently delivers photos we’ll cherish for a lifetime. My daughter even looks forward to picking out a dress from Kate’s client closet! We truly love her work and can’t recommend her enough.

A Photography Experience as Meaningful as the Moments We Capture
book your session
Hi there friend, I'm Kate McCord, your Harrisburg portrait photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, and family photography. As a mom, I know how fast these days go. My goal is to create effortless, luxury photography experiences that result in images you'll proudly display in your home for generations.
As an IVF warrior and mama of 3, I know just how quickly time passes. I also know how hard it can feel to get photos scheduled, find the right clothes, and pump everyone up to cooperate for photos. That's where my expertise and guidance as a photographer (and a mom) comes in to make the entire process as simple as reaching out to me. You take the first step, and I'll take lead on the rest.
