Central PA’s Favorite Newborn Photography Experience
Because these first days are fleeting, but your memories shouldn’t be.
Why Central PA Families trust me with their newborn photos:
Welcome! I’m Kate, a newborn photographer serving Harrisburg & Central PA
If you’re here, you’re probably in that magical “countdown to baby” stage and I’m so glad you found me. I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns over the years, and safety, comfort, and a calm parent experience are at the heart of everything I do.
My Etters, PA studio is fully stocked with wraps, props, outfits, and everything needed for a relaxing newborn session. You don’t have to bring anything but the baby.
Considering an in home session? You're in luck! I travel to homes throughout the area to capture lifestyle newborn photos where your life happens; right in the comfort of your home!
✓ Fully trained in newborn safety
✓ Baby-led posing — never forced
✓ Cozy, warm studio designed for newborn comfort
✓ A calm, gentle approach that keeps babies sleepy
✓ Editing that keeps your baby looking natural and beautiful
✓ Clean, timeless, editorial style (no cheesy props)
✓ Moms (and dads) refer to me as a "baby whisperer" and often ask to take me home with them.
don't just take my word for it...
We hired Kate to do our newborn photos, and she did not disappoint. Her studio was perfect for the style of photos we were looking to achieve. The quality of the photos are unmatched. We ended up upgrading to the milestone package and cannot wait to this year documenting our little one!
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.
"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."

Your Baby Will Only Be This Little Once. Let’s Capture It Together
Newborn sessions are best reserved when you're in your second trimester. I take on a limited number of sessions per month to ensure every family receives my full attention and I can offer flexible availability around your due date.
Spots tend to book out 2-3 months in advance, but sometimes I have extra space in my calendar so don't hesitate to reach out if you're outside the timeframe.
