Of course, we’ll capture the beautiful portraits where everyone is together.
But we’ll make space for everything else, too.

love notes from past clients
We had such a fantastic experience with Christie from CMC Photography RI! She photographed our family on the beach, including our 2-month-old baby, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
She worked around baby breaks, guided us through natural poses, and somehow managed to capture the most beautiful, candid moments that really reflect our family’s love and connection. The photos are absolutely stunning—we will treasure them forever.
''When we met her at the shoot, she was incredibly warm, personable, and made us feel instantly at ease.''

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR FOR OUR FAMILY SESSION?
Once your session is booked, I’ll help you plan outfits that photograph beautifully together without feeling overly matched. You’ll also receive a style guide to make choosing what everyone wears simple and stress-free.
WHAT IF MY KIDS DON’T COOPERATE?
That’s completely okay. Your kids don’t need to sit still, smile on cue, or be perfectly behaved. We’ll let them move, play, and warm up at their own pace while I gently guide you and capture the natural moments in between.
WHERE WILL OUR SESSION TAKE PLACE?
We’ll choose an outdoor location that works beautifully for your family and the look you’re envisioning. I’ll help guide you toward a location that photographs well and gives everyone room to relax and interact naturally.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR FAMILY PHOTOS?
Outdoor sessions are typically scheduled around the best natural light, usually later in the day. We’ll choose a time that gives us beautiful light while also considering what works best for your family.
Your family will keep growing and changing. Let's preserve the personalities, connection, and little moments that make this season yours.
