the kate mccord photography experience!

maternity photos are a magical experience, celebrating the radiant glow and tender connection of expectant mothers as they embark on the journey to motherhood. Each shot freezes these precious moments, telling a unique and heartfelt story of the beauty inherent in the miracle of life.

"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."


Studio sessions are all about simplicity and control. The lighting is always perfect, the space is cozy, and you don’t have to worry about the weather (especially if you’re due in the colder months).

Clean, timeless look – I love a neutral backdrop with soft lighting that really puts the focus on you and that beautiful bump.

Wardrobe access – In the studio, you can try on pieces from my curated client wardrobe without dragging everything to a location. We can also do quick changes easily.

Privacy & comfort – If you’re not totally comfortable being in front of a camera in public spaces, the studio offers a more intimate, relaxed setting.

Fine art/editorial feel – Think more classic portraits, minimal distractions, and dreamy, magazine-worthy images.

In studio sessions are held in my Etters, PA studio. Availability is limited to Monday-Friday only. I have an entire client closet available, as well as exclusive vendors for hair and makeup prior to your session.

what to expect


If you're booked for a studio maternity session (or thinking about it!), here's a little peek into what the experience will look like from start to finish. Spoiler alert: it's relaxed, intentional, and all about celebrating you and this beautiful season you're in.

A Calm, Cozy Space:
My studio is designed to feel like a soft exhale. It’s warm, welcoming, and free of distractions—so you can fully settle in, be present, and let me take care of the rest. No worrying about weather, wind, or finding a bathroom… everything we need is right here.


Access to the Studio Wardrobe:
When you arrive, we’ll chat for a few minutes and go over wardrobe options. You’ll have full access to my curated collection of dresses and pieces that photograph beautifully and flatter a growing bump. Whether you're going for romantic, minimal, or something a little bold—we’ll find the perfect look.

You’re welcome to bring your own outfits too if you have something special in mind!

Clean, Editorial Style:
Studio maternity sessions are known for their simplicity and timeless feel. I use soft, flattering light and a neutral backdrop to really highlight you and your connection with baby. It’s more of a fine art feel—less about running around, more about pausing to soak it in.

That said, we’ll still keep things moving with gentle posing prompts and natural interaction. It’s not stiff or overly posed—I want you to feel like you, just a little more elevated.

A Laid-Back Experience: 
These sessions are usually pretty quick and comfortable. I’ll guide you every step of the way with prompts, posing, and plenty of encouragement. If you’re bringing your partner or older kiddos, we’ll include them too—and keep things relaxed and easy for everyone.

 A Beautiful Collection of Images:
After your session, I’ll carefully curate your gallery to include the most meaningful images—ones that feel honest, elegant, and full of emotion. You’ll have the option to select your favorites and choose how you want to preserve them, whether that’s in an heirloom album, framed artwork, or digital keepsakes.

Client Closet Perks

One of the biggest perks of booking with me? You don’t have to stress about what to wear—because I’ve got you covered with my curated client closet.

Here’s why clients love it:

No Need to Shop: Finding the perfect outfit when you’re expecting (or dressing your kiddos) can be overwhelming—not to mention expensive for something you may only wear once. The client closet saves you time, money, and a whole lot of “what do I even wear?!”

Curated for Photos: 
Every piece in the closet has been handpicked because it photographs beautifully. Think soft, flowing fabrics, flattering cuts for baby bumps, neutral tones, and textures that catch the light just right. These aren’t your everyday clothes—they’re made to help you feel gorgeous and timeless in front of the camera.

Coordinated Looks Made Easy: 
I’ve got options for mamas, babies, and little kids, which makes coordinating your whole crew so much easier. I’ll even help you style everyone so the final look feels cohesive without being too matchy-matchy.

Try It On at the Studio: 
If we’re shooting in the studio, you’ll get to try on a few looks and see what feels best. If it’s an outdoor session, we’ll connect beforehand and I’ll help you choose outfits in advance so everything’s ready to go.

I was so picky when starting to plan for my maternity photos. I was googling through every photographer within a 20 mile radius of me. 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 was more than phenomenal during our maternity pictures. She is very personal and gets to know her clients. She worked with me on scheduling & honored the requests I had for her. 

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.
