I started Katie Rain Photography fifteen years ago after becoming a mom myself. In those early days, I discovered that my greatest strength wasn't just creating beautiful photographs—it was creating an experience where families could truly relax.

From the moment we begin, my goal is to put you at ease so your session feels effortless, natural, and even fun. Whether I'm soothing a newborn, making a toddler laugh, or helping parents feel confident in front of the camera, I bring a calm, efficient approach that allows genuine connection to shine through.

The result is a collection of timeless, heartfelt images that reflect your family just as you are—full of love, personality, and the moments you'll want to remember forever.

Hi, I'm Katie! I'm a New York City based photographer that specializes in family and newborn portraits. 

Katie Rain Photography documents all the meaningful moments of family life. From the very beginning with a maternity photoshoot, to the newborn session, and of course all the family milestones that follow. It's our goal to photograph all the real connections and little details you’ll want to remember forever.

let's tell your story

- maren & Evan

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!"

- Cynthia + brett

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!"

Kind Words

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!"
