Katie Rain Photography is a lifestyle portrait studio specializing in newborn, family, and milestone photography, creating heartfelt imagery rooted in connection and storytelling. With a refined, artistic approach, our work focuses on preserving the fleeting, meaningful moments that define family life—captured in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and timeless.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and serving families throughout New York City and parts of Connecticut, our studio works with a wide range of clients, from creative entrepreneurs to high-profile professionals. Many of the families we photograph return year after year, allowing us to document their growing stories across seasons of life—from welcoming a newborn to celebrating milestones big and small. These long-term relationships are at the heart of our work and have grown into an extended community built on trust, familiarity, and care.

Katie and her team are known for creating a calm, guided experience that helps families feel comfortable and present, whether photographing a newborn session in the Bay Area or a family portrait session in NYC. Each session is thoughtfully designed to highlight genuine connection, resulting in imagery that feels personal, elevated, and enduring.

We would be honored to document your story and look forward to creating something meaningful with you—wherever life finds you, in the Bay Area, New York City, or beyond.

  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!"

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!"
