Family Photographer in Mebane, NC
Life gets busy, and before you know it, another year has flown by. The kids are growing, your family is changing, and these moments deserve to be captured.
Family portraits should feel like you– warm, joyful, and full of personality. Whether you imagine your session in your favorite Durham or Greensboro park or prefer the comfort of my Mebane studio, your experience will be easy and enjoyable from start to finish. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just real connections, genuine laughter, and the beautiful chaos that makes your family one of a kind.
A Stress-Free, Fun Experience for the Whole Family
I get it. Family portraits can feel overwhelming. What if the kids don’t cooperate? What if you don’t love how you look in the photos? That’s where I come in! With over 15 years of experience photographing families, I know how to make sessions fun, relaxed, and natural. I’ll guide you every step of the way—from choosing outfits to helping you feel confident in front of the camera. The result? Stunning portraits you’ll cherish forever.
- Kid-friendly and pet-friendly sessions- because they’re part of the family too!
- Playful, relaxed sessions that bring out natural smiles
- Expert posing guidance to make you look and feel your best
- Happiness guarantee if you don’t love your photos, I’ll refund your session fee.
Every family is different, and your portraits should reflect that. Some families love the timeless elegance of studio portraits with beautiful light and classic posing. Others feel most at home outdoors, surrounded by nature and laughter. And for those who love something bold and imaginative, we can design a more creative, story-driven concept that turns your family into a work of art. Whatever your vision, I’ll tailor the experience to fit your family’s personality and style.

- Photo Session – A fun, easygoing session designed to capture real emotions and connections.
- Viewing & Ordering – Choose your favorite images and let me help you design custom wall art or albums.

Your portraits aren’t just for social media—they deserve a place of honor in your home. That’s why I offer a seamless, full-service experience that takes the stress out of family photography.
Investment & Products
Your portraits are meant to become something you can see, hold, and enjoy every day.
At Katie Smith Photography, the experience is designed with finished artwork in mind from the beginning. That might mean a framed portrait for your wall, a custom album filled with your favorite images, a gallery-wrapped canvas, or printed gifts for the people who love your family most.
After your session, you’ll review your images and choose the collection that best fits how you want to enjoy them.
Signature Collections begin at $1,499 and range up to $3,999.
These full portrait sessions are best for families, seniors, pets, and headshots who want a more customized experience with planning, a relaxed session, and guidance choosing finished artwork.
Mini Session Collections range from $199 to $999.
Mini sessions are shorter, simpler sessions offered at the studio on select dates throughout the year. They’re a great fit for seasonal portraits, quick updates, or a smaller set of favorite images.
Each collection includes digital images for sharing and safekeeping, but the focus is on helping you create something lasting from your portraits. Whether you choose wall art, an album, or a few meaningful prints, you’ll have options that fit the way you want to enjoy your images.
VIP Perks & Exclusive Offers
After your first session, you’ll become part of the Katie Smith Photography VIP Program, where you’ll get early access to seasonal mini-sessions, exclusive discounts, and special offers throughout the year. It’s my way of saying thank you for trusting me with your family’s memories!

What others are saying…
Very professional!
Katie did a wonderful session for our family when my husband was home on his leave. She had great ideas for photos and used ideas that we had as well. Very professional and worked great even with our three wild boys! I will always treasure these pictures and appreciate the amazing job she did for us.
Great with kids!
Katie has a fantastic eye and is great with the kids. I firmly believe that capturing your family is one of the best investments that you can make and I am happy we made an investment in Katie.
Amazing photos!
Katie takes the most amazing photos. She was able to capture my son’s personality in the shots. She was so great with him that every time I tell him its time to take pictures, he asks if Katie can do them.
Gorgeous pictures!
Katie did an amazing job capturing the essence of my two-year-old daughter in the comfort of our own home. Instead of photos with unfamiliar studio props, I now have gorgeous pictures of my daughter with her favorite toys, doing activities she loves, in a home we no longer live in but that holds very fond memories. They are an absolute treasure that I will forever cherish. Katie was prompt, polite, engaging and friendly.
