Testimonials
Mackenzie Owens - The Elms
Mackenzie’s senior session was especially meaningful. The Elms has long been a place she and her mom love, making it a natural choice for her senior portraits. Set among the grandeur of this Gilded Age Newport mansion, with its classical revival gardens and opulent architecture, the location brought a sense of timeless elegance to her images.

Mackenzie owens - Second Beach, Newport
We finished the evening with a second location along the coast, capturing soft sunset light on the beach. The combination of refined architecture and relaxed seaside moments created a senior session that felt both elevated and personal — a true reflection of Mackenzie and this once-in-a-lifetime season.

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.
From the start, Christie was quick to respond to all our questions when booking the session, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. When we met her at the shoot, she was incredibly warm, personable, and made us feel instantly at ease. Her patience and gentle approach with our little one truly stood 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.
If you’re looking for a talented, responsive, and kind-hearted photographer who’s amazing with families and babies, we wholeheartedly recommend Christie at CMC Photography RI. We’re so grateful for the memories she captured and can’t wait to use her again in the future.

We did a mini outdoor family session with Christie and she is an absolute dream to work with! Her warm and friendly demeanor made our session feel natural and fun. We had such a great experience with her the day of our mini session that we left knowing we would book with her again. And then, we got the photos and they were exactly what I had hoped for. It’s truly incredible how easy she makes it feel and how wonderful the pictures came out. Christie reached out multiple times to check in before our session to answer any questions and make sure we were prepared for the outdoor weather. We can’t wait to see her again for our Christmas Mini’s next year!

I cannot say enough about Christie. She is the perfect combination of a skilled photographer and a welcoming, comforting professional. She puts a lot of thought into her work, starting with helping one find the right location, maintaining contact as the date of the appointment approaches, helping find the right outfits and eventually putting one at ease during a shoot that could only be described as fun. Then, the photos... they are stunning, breath-taking! My daughter and I are very pleased and would highly recommend her.

My daughter and I had the best time working with Christie for her Senior Portrait Session. She had us set up from the very beginning with a phone call discussing the locations and logistics, a questionnaire about our ideas for the session, a guide for outfit suggestions, easy payment options and then reminders and follow up conversations to be sure everything was perfectly in place. When we arrived to start our shoot she was welcoming, prepared, and made my daughter instantly feel comfortable with being herself in order to capture the perfect shot! We are thrilled with every photos she captured and how easy this whole process was. Her work is stunning and we feel very fortunate to have been referred to Christie! We highly recommend her to help you and your family photograph those special moments in your life!

We had the absolute best experience with Christie at CMC Photography for my son’s senior pictures. She was so warm, fun, and made him feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. The whole session had such great energy, and the photos came out amazing. She really captured his personality in every shot. Christie has such an incredible eye for detail and so much patience. It’s going to be tough picking just one for the yearbook because there are so many great ones. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s truly the best!
