  Choose Your Session:

I'm Katie,
your San Francisco and New York Newborn and Family Photographer

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!"

- 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!"
