hey there!
I'm Kate!
I'm a Central PA family photographer specializing in meeting your family where you are. Whether your kiddos start out shy or wild, my experience as a mom and a photographer allows me to capture the moments as they unfold naturally.
I'm a Master Family Photographer and Master Newborn Photographer certified by the National Association of Portrait Child Photographers, and was voted Simply the Best Photography by Harrisburg Magazine in 2023. I've photographed hundreds of families and I take telling your story personally.
My sessions are calm, guided, and child led. You show up. I handle everything else.
Family photos are an investment you will never look back on and regret. The photos of your children will only grow more precious to you with each passing year. When you decide to have Kate McCord Photography take your family photos, I promise you a fun, memorable experience from start to finish. No stress, no worries about what to do with your hands, just beautiful moments with your family.
Every session includes a pre-session consultation, wardrobe guidance, and access to my client closet. You show up. I handle everything else.
Step 3: Add Printed Artwork
(Optional, available with a session booking)
Kate photographs families throughout Central PA. Family sessions are held either in the mornings or during golden hour. A curated location guide is provided to families upon booking. Collection prices include your weekday session fee. Weekend sessions add $50.
How it Works
Step 1: Reserve Your Date
A session fee books your date and covers your full session experience: $149 for weekday sessions, $199 for weekends. It's not an extra cost, it's your deposit. Every dollar applies toward the collection you choose later.
We'll plan your date, location, and outfits together, then I'll guide you through a session that feels unhurried, fun, and meaningful. No stiff posing, no wrangling, just your family actually enjoying each other while I do my thing.
Step 3: Select Your Photos
Step 2: Take Beautiful, Fun Photos with Your Family
After your session, you'll see a proofing gallery of the best images before you decide anything. Then you simply pick the collection that fits and pay the difference. Your session fee already covered part of it.
