hey friend!
I'm Kate!
I'm a Central PA baby photographer specializing in those first fleeting days with your baby. My studio is located in Etters, PA and I serve families throughout York, Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, and Hershey.
I'm a Master Newborn Photographer and Master Family 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 babies and I take the safety and comfort of every newborn in my care seriously.
My sessions are calm, guided, and intentionally slow. You show up. I handle everything else.
Your baby will never be this small again. These first days are fleeting, and a newborn session with Kate McCord Photography is designed to preserve them in a way you will display for generations.
Every session includes a pre-session consultation, wardrobe guidance, and access to my client closet. You show up. I handle everything else.

How it Works
Step 1: Session Fee
Your session fee reserves your date on my calendar and covers all coordination and the full session experience. Collections are chosen after your session, once you have seen your images and fallen in love with them.
Session fee is included in collection cost. Milestone sessions are baby focused. These are baby only sessions. If you'd like to add family photos on to a milestone session there is an additional fee of $100.
Step 3: Select Your Collection
Session Fee: $125
Step 2: Your Milestone Session
We will coordinate your session date and outfits together. I have a ton of adorable baby sized outfits to borrow. Then we'll take photos in a way that feels unhurried, fun, and meaningful. We will follow your baby's pace and capture their personality.
You will be sent an unedited proofing gallery of all the best images from your session. From there, you can choose as many images as you love to be edited. Collections are listed above.
