What can you expect from a family photoshoot with katie rain photography?

We’ll meet at our location, whether it’s an iconic city landmark or the cozy comfort of your own home. Throughout the session, I’ll gently guide and pose you so you’ll never feel awkward or unsure. My goal is to make you feel relaxed, natural, and fully present with your family.

The session will likely fly by  and it’s completely normal to leave wondering if the kids were too wild or if we captured anything good. (Spoiler: we did!) It’s one of my favorite things to surprise parents with a gallery full of joy, connection, and truly beautiful moments.

After the session, you’ll receive a beautiful online gallery filled with all your favorite images. From there, you can easily download your photos or conveniently order prints and products directly through the site.

BOOK YOUR SESSION

victoria + mike

Katie is a magician! We honestly don't know how she captured the images she did. We are blown away.

When should we book our photoshoot?

The sooner, the better. I take a limited number of sessions each month to ensure a thoughtful, unhurried experience for every family. That said, I always do my best to accommodate everyone when possible, and last minute openings do occasionally pop up due to schedule changes or cancellations. If you have your heart set on a specific timeframe, especially during the fall months of September through November when weekends tend to book well in advance, I recommend reaching out early to secure your spot.

What are your favorite locations?

I have a curated list of favorite locations on the website under the Locations tab, all chosen for beautiful backdrops and good lighting. I’m also happy to recommend the best option based on the time of day, season, and the type of light that will photograph best during your session. I always encourage families to consider what will feel best for their children too. If they’re most comfortable at home, in-home sessions are a wonderful option. Ultimately, I can make any location look great and will help guide you to what works best for your family.

Can you help us with wardrobe?

Yes, absolutely. I love helping families select clothing for their photoshoot. Once your session is booked, you’ll receive my cell number so you can text me outfit ideas, photos, or links. Together, we’ll choose options that photograph beautifully and feel like you on your best day.
