Hello and welcome! I'm Katie and I offer lifestyle portrait photography, focusing on newborns, families, and adorable milestones. I'm currently based in San Francisco and truly have the best clients- from tech CEOs to fellow artists, my clients become family and I am honored to photograph them. I serve the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as Los Angeles and New York City. I look forward to making photo magic with you!
Finally, beautiful family photos that deserve a place on your wall.
Welcome to katie rain Photography
Your babies will grow up, but your photographs will stay little forever.
My goal with each photoshoot is to make it easy and stress-free. I genuinely love what I do and I hope that shows in my work.
I'm Katie Rain and I'm so happy that you are stumbled upon my corner of the internet! I started my business when my first daughter was born in 2011 and it has grown tremendously since then.
Looking for a photographer that your toddler will love? I'm your girl!
Each session is unique, but my process is the same! I have a very calming and grounding energy that immediately will put everyone at ease. I like to look at the light and environment for inspiration, but will always follow the mood of the child or baby to get the best results.
I will suggest the best locations for the time of day we have selected, and I will direct and guide you during the photoshoot. You will never be left feeling awkward and I promise you will leave saying, "That was way easier than we expected!"

Her bubbly personality put my family at ease and allowed for such a fun session. She is definitely an expert at her craft not just with her ability to capture the perfect moment but she is wonderful with children. I can’t wait to work with her again!
"Katie is a dream to work with!"

Katie Rain is a tremendously gifted artist. Her talent behind the camera is only surpassed by her disarming approachability that makes shooting with her a joyful experience for everyone. So grateful to be able to enjoy her photos for years to come!
"Katie captured our family dynamic perfectly!"
- Anne + Colin
Katie is amazing! She has such a vision and talent for photography that doesn’t compare to anyone else we’ve worked with before. The fact that she’s a mom herself makes her sessions even better—she “gets it”! She helped make our family feel comfortable right at home and helped me remove the pressure I was putting on myself to make everything “perfect."
"She instantly put our kids at ease!"
