Family is everything, and every moment with them deserves to be cherished.
Your Central PA Newborn & Motherhood photographer
So glad you're here!
As a mom to three kids, I understand the importance of cherishing the fleeting moments of family life. My journey into photography began with a desire to document my own children, and that passion has blossomed into a commitment to preserving those special memories for others. Family is everything to me, and I believe that your story deserves to be captured in a way that you will treasure for years to come. My focus is on creating timeless, organic images that reflect the beauty and connection within your family. Let’s make those everyday moments last forever.
I specialize in Maternity, Newborn, Motherhood, Family + Milestone Photography. My studio is centrally located to Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, and York in Etters, PA and I proudly serve the Susquehanna Valley and surrounding areas.

does this sound like perfection?
Before your session, we will meet either in person or virtually and plan your wardrobe for your session. I will help you hand select pieces for each member of your family to ensure a cohesive look that will complement your family. If we're planning an outdoor session, we will choose a stunning location that suits your family's style & needs. And we will start planning out the beautiful wall art and albums you're going to display throughout your home.

The day of your session, I will provide the wardrobe for mama & children. Your focus is to enjoy this time with your family! Through my expert guidance, I will pose you and your family and work my magic with the little ones to ensure the session runs smoothly. There's zero need for stress as I will capture your family together as you are ensuring a full gallery of images that portray the love you all share together.

the process
As a mom of three, I know firsthand how quickly time passes and how important it is to be fully present in your family's memories. My own journey through parenthood, along with years of experience behind the camera, inspired me to create a personalized portrait experience just for you.
From selecting the perfect wardrobe to planning the ideal timing, we handle all the details beforehand. On the day of your session, you can simply show up and enjoy a day of laughter and connection with your little ones. I want your session to feel like a joyful memory in itself.
When you look back at your images and see the portraits displayed in your home, I hope they remind you of the special moments—holding your babies close, hearing their laughter, and exploring the world together. Your memories are truly priceless, and you deserve a portrait session that captures this beautiful chapter of your life.
I hate to keep you waiting, so shortly after your session I'll share a sneak peek with you. Then when your gallery is ready to be viewed, you'll have time to choose your favorite images to be edited. This is also when you'll choose any additional artwork or albums for purchase.

This is the best part! Approximately 1 week after your session you'll receive your fully edited gallery of beautiful timeless images. If you've purchased any artwork, you'll receive it within 6-8 weeks of your ordering appointment.

Kate did an amazing job with our baby girls newborn photos. She made our whole family feel comfortable and relaxed, while working with a newborn and toddler. Cannot recommend her services enough!!!
"Can’t recommend Kate enough. (Photographing) an infant & twin toddlers is no easy task but she handled our family with confidence, ease and fun. Our girls loved her...! Being new to the area I was concerned about finding someone but I’m so grateful we found Kate. She will be shooting our family for all things in the future! She’s truly gifted and you can tell she just loves what she does. Thank you Kate!"

Kate was an absolute delight to work with. I have three little girls with BIG spirits and personalities and man did she capture them all. To some, it may feel overwhelming and chaotic, but she somehow made us feel like our family dynamic was a strength!...Photos with three little kids could feel like an absolute crazy endeavor but the simplicity of having our clothes picked out for us, Kate’s personality, and the environment she creates made it an experience we will forever cherish.
KAITLYN T.
Each and every experience with Kate has been so comfortable, accommodating, and easy going- especially with young kids. We will cherish these photos forever. I look forward to working with Kate in capturing our family’s moments for years to come.

Kate is a true professional. She maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made me and my husband feel at ease throughout the session. She patiently listened to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the shoot.
