Hey friend! Before we dive into numbers, let's get to know each other. I'm Kate! If you're looking for a photographer who understands the importance of capturing beautiful, fun family photos while keeping everything stress free & easy, I'm your girl!
Voted 2023 Simply the Best Photography by Harrisburg Magazine, 2025 Favorite Family Photographer by Macaroni Kid Harrisburg/West Shore as well as being certified as both a Master Family & Master Newborn Photographer by the National Association of Portrait Child Photographers, I'm OBSESSED with ensuring my clients have an incredible rave worthy experience and receive pictures that they can't stop staring at. Capturing a perfect mix of smiling photos with those sweet, candid moments is my specialty. I want every mama to look at their photos and feel love.
I adore each of the families I work with, love getting to know you and your kiddos and if I'm ever so lucky, you'll choose me to be your forever family memory keeper.
let's make some magic!
the kate mccord photography experience!
some day, your babies won't be this little anymore. one day, you'll be walking past your photos hanging on the wall and be transported back to when their tiny hands fit so perfectly inside of yours.
"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 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!!!
Such an amazing experience. Very professional all around from booking to delivering the photos - which are always stunning and incredible quality. Kate is beyond reasonably priced for her product and you will not be disappointed!
I kept getting drawn back to Kate’s style and fell in love more and more with her photography each time. So easy to reach out & ask any questions - she answered every question we had. You definitely get what you pay for, she is well experienced.

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.
We cannot say enough good things about Kate and her work. Our family went to Kate for our little one's newborn photos and we are just in love with every single shot she took. She truly takes care of everything and helps you every step of the way feel comfortable.
Truly in love with our session proofs! Kate is a total pro! She has the eye for the outfits (even if you're not sure about getting "fancy") she knows what makes a great photo. She tells you how to stand and how to to move so that if you're a bit awkward like me, you'll still end up with great shots.
We had the most wonderful experience with Kate. Our session consisted of four families (15 of us!) for a very special photo. She was so great with our little kids (babies and toddlers) and staged our pictures perfectly. Highly recommend Kate and her work.
the professional difference
- Years of experience in posing, styling, and editing to highlight client's unique beauty
- Access to high end client wardrobe and custom styling guide for the entire family, no more stressing about what to wear for your session or what looks good in photos
- SAFETY FIRST: When it comes to newborn photos, your baby's safety is at the forefront. I've received hands on training from some of the best photographers in the industry and will never put your baby in harm's way.
- A highly customized process from start to finish. The entire session will be shot with your end goals in mind of how you'd like to display your heirloom pieces. From albums to gift prints to wall art, your photos will be shot to ensure you have the images you want from your session.
- A family first approach. I am a mom first and foremost. I know how much your children mean to you and will do everything in my power to make sure they feel included in the entire process and showcase just how amazing & special they are.
More than photos. This is your legacy.
