WHAT IS THE COLLECTIVE?
Pregnancy and the newborn days are deeply connected. One flows directly into the next, and both pass faster than anyone ever expects. The Motherhood Collective exists for families who don’t want to choose between documenting one or the other—or scramble to plan during postpartum.
This experience was designed to remove stress, decision fatigue, and last-minute planning, while preserving two of the most meaningful chapters of your story with intention and care.
i want this!
A seamless, thoughtfully guided experience
With the Motherhood Collective, your maternity and newborn sessions are planned together from the beginning. That means no rebooking, no starting over, and no pressure to make decisions when you’re tired and adjusting to life with a newborn.
You’ll be guided through every step—from styling and timing to session flow and image selection—so everything feels calm, supported, and cohesive.
What this experience includes...
• A maternity session designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen
• A newborn session that is slow, gentle, and completely baby-led
• Guided planning and support for both sessions so nothing feels overwhelming
• Styling guidance and access to the client wardrobe
• Priority scheduling to accommodate due dates and postpartum needs
• Private online galleries to view and select your images
• Optional heirloom artwork support to help you preserve your images beyond the screen
Digital image options are always available, with artwork offered as guidance—not obligation
Why Families Choose the Motherhood Collective
[ Join the Collective → ]
Because pregnancy doesn’t feel complete without remembering how it led to your baby.
Because newborn days deserve more than rushed planning or forgotten details.
Because you shouldn’t have to decide what matters most when you’re exhausted.
This experience allows you to fully document the beginning of your baby’s story—without pressure, without stress, and without having to piece it together later.
A natural choice for this season
The Motherhood Collective is ideal for families who value continuity, care, and a guided experience from start to finish. If you know you want both pregnancy and newborn days remembered, this becomes the most natural way to do it.

She makes you feel comfortable and confident from the second you start working with her, which makes the whole experience so fun and easy. She is also always AMAZING with kids! Every time our family does photos we have always had so much fun! She has an incredible talent for capturing moments perfectly and making you look and feel your best. And somehow she gets photos back CRAZY fast — like seriously impressive turnaround time. The quality of her work is next level and honestly unlike anyone else. I am completely obsessed with how my photos turned out and cannot recommend her enough!! If you’re thinking about booking with her, DO IT. You will not regret it!!!!

Kate McCord was INCREDIBLE. She also managed to make this one-week postpartum mama feel beautiful.
Not to mention she has everything you will need! Outfits for the whole family. The cutest baby clothes, wraps, headbands, and props. I could go on and on. Truly a beautiful experience from start to finish.

ate has done multiple photoshoots for our family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She makes the entire experience seamless and stress-free from start to finish. From her streamlined process to her thoughtfully curated wardrobe options, everything is designed to make the session easy and enjoyable.
Kate has a natural way of putting you at ease, making the shoot feel fun and relaxed rather than posed or forced. And the photos are always stunning—her work truly speaks for itself. If you’re considering booking a photoshoot, Kate is the one. You won’t be disappointed!

Kate is amazing!! She is always able to capture the most beautiful photos and moments of our family. We have done several sessions with her including 1st birthday, glitter minis and fall minis. Can’t wait for the next one! Highly recommend!

We’ve had family photos taken by Kate five times now, and every session has been wonderful. She has a true gift with babies—patient, gentle, and always able to capture those sweet candid moments. She’s also fantastic at making family photos feel natural and fun (never stiff or stressful!). I really appreciate how flexible she is—if you share what you’re thinking, she brings it to life beautifully. We’re always so happy with the photos we get back!

Kate made my dream pictures become reality! Through both my engagement pictures and wedding, I didn’t find a ‘lifelong’ photographer. After finding Kate on social media, I thought I’d try out my maternity pictures with her. I am SO thankful I did! She has now also done our daughter’s newborn pictures and I couldn’t have imagined them to turn out any better! Life can be overwhelming days after welcoming a newborn, but Kate made the photography session so easy for me as a new mom. From coming to our house to photograph in our daughter’s nursery to providing clothes from her client closet for myself, my husband, and my daughter, I couldn’t be anymore thankful!

Our newborn shoot was a dream! Kate was so patient and gentle with our little one, and created a calm and comfortable atmosphere that made the experience truly enjoyable. The final photos were absolutely stunning! These memories will be treasured forever. Anyone looking for a truly talented and professional photographer should consider Kate McCord Photography. Her passion for her work shines through, and she delivered amazing results.
