hey mama!
I'm Kate!
I'm a Central PA newborn 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.
(Sorry that was a mouthful. TLDR; I'm really freakin' good at what I do and I love my job.)
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.
Timeless posed portraits, beautiful wraps and props, and family photographs in my Etters studio.
Starting at $400
Newborn sessions tend to produce more intimate, detailed images — perfect for smaller collections.
Cake smash sessions include a custom theme, cake, and wardrobe styling, creating a playful and story-filled gallery.
Family and cake smash sessions naturally include more variety and movement, so most families choose 25 or more images to capture the full story.
Relaxed, natural portraits in your own space, with your family and the moments that make it yours.
Starting at $750
