There's no time more special than bringing home your baby. From their first breath to their first smiles, everything in the newborn stage feels like magic. But the time is so fleeting! As your Harrisburg newborn photographer; let me capture those tiny toes and baby snuggles for you so that you can look back fondly on these special times for years to come.
Whether you want to showcase these moments in your Central PA home or my river front studio near Harrisburg, PA, the sentiment remains the same. Your baby; their tiny features, and your unique connection remains my focus.
babies don't keep.
Harrisburg Newborn Photography For Parents Who Want Gorgeous, Timeless Moments Captured
Let's chat! Send me a message via my Contact Form and let me me know what type of session you're looking for!
Within 24-48 hours of receiving your inquiry, I will respond to you with my availability and pricing guides.
I recommend reaching out to your chosen newborn photographer as early as possible! During your second trimester is a perfect time to get on the schedule for newborn photos.
Once you've decided I'm "the one," you'll sign a contract & pay your retainer. This is what officially gets you booked on my calendar.
1. say hi!
Once you've decided I'm "the one," we will put your due date on the calendar as a placeholder for your session. Your actual session will be scheduled around 7-14 days after baby is born.
In the months leading up to your session, we will chat about the kind of session you're envisioning. Do you love natural, organic, lifestyle photos? Or are bold colors and poses more your vibe? I will ask you all the right questions to style the session of your dreams.
Whether you want to be fully styled by me using my client closet, have me send you style boards to purchase your own clothes, or just bounce ideas off of me...I am here to help you plan the perfect Harrisburg, PA newborn session!
2. planning phase
It's session day! We will me at our agreed upon time & place be it at your home or my studio. If you're borrowing clothes, this is when I'll give them to you to change into.
If you're coming. to my studio, you just need to arrive with your baby & yourself. Leave the rest up to me! I'll have all of your clothes, props, and wraps laid out and ready to go. If you choose an In Home Session, you just need to wake up & open the door when I arrive! (Don't clean, I'm good at hiding things from photos!)
After our session, we will part ways and I'll be heading home to back up your images and work on some sneak peeks for you! You'll usually see those within 24-48 hours of your session!
3. session day!
Next comes your proofing gallery, where you will choose your favorite photos from your session to be edited by me. Proofs are unedited versions of your potential selections.
This is where the magic happens. Where I take your images from "aw" to "WOW!"
If you have any questions, I'm always just an e-mail away.
4. VIEW YOUR IMAGES
Once you've narrowed down your favorites, I will get to work hand editing your photos and making them perfect. From session date to gallery final delivery is approximately 2 weeks (depending on how quickly you choose your proofs!)
Your images will be delivered in an online gallery where you can download, save your images, and choose what to print! Some sessions include print credits, which I will help you choose & order.
I always recommend ordering physical prints, albums, and canvases. There's nothing that can replace the warm, loving feeling of holding treasured memories in your hands.

SAY HELLO
I had the pleasure of working with Kate for a newborn photoshoot, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kate was not only incredibly professional but also incredibly patient and gentle with my baby. Her friendly and warm demeanor made the entire process enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kate for all your family photography needs; you won't be disappointed!
We had a great experience with Kate! I was nervous about including our toddler in with the newborn photos and Kate made it so easy. She really captured the moments perfectly and did a fantastic job making my toddler feel included in all aspects! She went above and beyond letting him "take photos" standing right next to her throughout the shoot.
Emilee
Kate was such a pleasure to work with and created such a comfortable environment for newborn photos. Highly recommend booking with her.
taylor
Kate did a great job with our newborn. She was very gentle and patient with him throughout the entire shoot, even when he became upset. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a local photographer.
jackie
Kate is the sweetest! She had everything ready to go and took the stress off of me after having a baby! She had the clothes not only for me but my two boys, daughter, and husband. It was a breath of fresh air for sure. We can't wait to book another session with her!
april
Kate has done several sessions for my family - family, wedding, newborn... I am always thrilled with the quality of her work, quick turnaround time, and her professionalism. I would highly recommend Kate for all your photography needs!
amy
I found Kate to capture our lifestyle home newborn session, and it simply was the best decision ever to have this style of session done with her skills! She came into our chaotic home of six and captured sweet moments that I will cherish forever. The backdrop of our home with our new baby was simply wonderful too. Additionally, I added on an outdoor maternity session that turned out to be stunning. I trust her with capturing life's most precious moments to create true, beautiful works of art.
brittany
Kate is so friendly and flexible. It can be challenging to work with a baby because of needing breaks, but she was so accommodating and e had such a great time while also capturing beautiful moments with our 3rd daughter.
christine
We did a mini shoot with Kate as well as in home newborn pictures. Kate does a great job of getting a lot out of a session while feeling relaxed and not rushed. And obviously our photos have all been beautiful as well. Thank you Kate!
kara
Kate is the BEST, hands down! We have tried several photographers in the area looking for the right fit.
I knew within the first few moments of working with her that she was it! Not only was she kind, genuine, easy to work with, and NEVER rushed us…..but her work is absolutely STUNNING!!
We have shot with her twice so far, and already have another session booked. I would recommend Kate to anyone! You will not be disappointed!!
ABBY
Kate was awesome to work with! I waited a little longer than I should have waited to reach out about newborn photos, but she replied to my inquiry very quickly and was able to squeeze me in for newborn photos...She posted a sneak peek of my pictures that night and I absolutely love what we have seen..

FAQ
I recommend you choose a tentative date (your due date works) for your newborn session 2-3 months prior to your due date so that you can be sure I am available for your York newborn session. Then, once your baby arrives (yay!), you should let me know ASAP. Sessions are ideally held between 5-15 days old. But with lifestyle, the timeframe can be a lot more flexible!
I recommend neutrals & earth tones for all of my newborn clients. These colors & tones allow you to change your home decor often and always allow your newborn photos to remain timeless. In my experience, simple is better. While dresses, tutus, and overalls are absolutely adorable on babies; I have found they do not photograph quite as beautifully as a simple romper or onesie on your little one. If you have your heart set on a special outfit, I am almost always happy to aquiesce! I have an incredible client closet available for my client's use. It has been carefully curated to include pieces that are unique, timeless, and photograph well. There are pieces included for all member's of your family and it is included at no additional cost with every session! Check out my blog on what to wear HERE!
You will receive your proofing (lightly edited) photos within 7 days of your session. Following your choosing of your photos, you will receive you final gallery within another week.
Just your baby and some food for them (boobs or bottles, no judgement here!) Thanks to a healthy addiction, I've got all the beautiful wraps, headbands, bonnets, and props on hand and ready for your session! Leading up to your newborn session I will get to know what you love and curate a beautiful set of items to use to deliver you a beautiful newborn gallery.
