My mother booked Tess for a newborn session as a christmas present, which was pretty much the best christmas present ever (aside from, you know, the birth of our daughter). She was super responsive, and easy to schedule the session (my mother booked Tess before our girl was even born, and Tess was totally flexible based on our girls arrival). The day of, Tess was super warm and friendly and even stayed late making sure she captured everything. My husband, who talks a mile a minute, bombarded her with questions, and she took it like a champ and was so patient with him (and you know, was super patient with our then two-week-old). In all realness, the photographs came out absolutely gorgeous and are so precious. I'm so grateful to have these pictures to remember our daughter as a newborn and can't thank Tess enough!!!

Tess was sweet, professional and patient (even with a hungry and tired baby). She captured amazing moments of our new family of three that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We would not hesitate to book her again!

Kate recently did a One Year Cake Smash photoshoot for our daughter. I wasn't sure how our baby…read morewould do, as she is in a "busy" phase. But, Kate made it so fun. She was kind and patient with our baby and the hour flew by! Our baby had a great time! We originally hired Kate to do our newborn photos last year (April 2020), and unbeknownst to us...or anyone, they ended up being canceled because of the pandemic. It was a really hard time for us to be in a pandemic, with a newborn, as new parents, while isolated. Missing out on our newborn photos was a small but nonetheless heartbreaking loss for me. Kate was so graceful and kind, she offered alternatives and came to shoot us (from afar) outside at our home...those photos will be forever memorable. It's clear she loves her work, but its also clear she is a compassionate and caring human. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kate.

Kate has taken photos of our family for the past 4 years now and she and her team have the magical…read moretouch of capturing both of our kids smiling in the same photo. Whether it's in the studio or an outdoor session, we have loved every session we have done with Kate and the results are worth every penny. She's always responsive and so easy to work with. Will happily recommend her for anyone looking for either newborn or family photos.

Laura Shachmut is an incredible photographer. She puts so much talent, energy, creativity, and…read moreintelligence into her shoots, the props she brings, the ideas she has. She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

Laura takes absolutely gorgeous photos - she came to our home for a combined newborn and family…read morephoto shoot, and captured our older children's personalities so perfectly, and got the most beautiful photos of our newborn as well. We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!

We had an excellent experience with Cara! She was friendly, professional, and a prompt…read morecommunicator. I called Cara very last minute with a request for an infant photography shoot in our home right before the holidays. She responded to me quickly and we booked the session for the very next week! Our photos turned out even better than I expected and Cara came with a lot of her own ideas about ways to stage our home and get the best lighting. She was also very patient when we had a cranky baby and made me feel at ease as a first time mother. Highly professional, and I would definitely recommend and work with again!

She is able to capture sweet everyday moments as well as breathtaking dramatic shots. No matter what you are looking for, you cannot go wrong with hiring Cara. She is so engaging and personable, she will make you feel very comfortable. And she has such a talent for capturing amazing photos of small children that do not sit still! Seriously cannot recommend her enough.

We can't recommend Polina enough. We booked her for a newborn photoshoot with our baby boy, who…read morewas born prematurely and spent several weeks in the NICU. He was a colicky baby and I was really worried that it would be very hard to photograph him. I was wrong, and we were blown away by the quality of the photographs. Polina is not only a talented photographer but also a lovely person. It is incredibly easy to work with her. We love the digital pictures of our sweet baby boy! We also ordered our birth announcement and a canvas print through her and the results are just stunning!

Those days when kids are not always co-operative, there are so many great shots, and the days they are .... it's difficult to choose favorites.

You get more than just photographs at CMP Studios - you get an experience that keeps you coming back for me!

Ash was a pleasure to work with . Our first conversation over the phone lasted about an hour or…read moreslightly more as she took the time to learn about me and my vision. She answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable about moving forward with the next steps to make a down payment and schedule my appointment. I did appreciate that Ash offers payment plans for those who can't pay the entire amount upfront. I love that during shooting she was able to assist me with each and every single pose, which was extremely helpful because I usually feel awkward with how I pose. This made me feel good about how the photos were going to come out. My photos came out beautiful. I have done 3 separate shoots already (maternity, mommy & me milk bath, halloween mini) I enjoyed every single one of them . Sometimes things do not go as planned especially when you are shooting with a 3 month old baby that is crying . Ash went above and beyond to do her best to make sure I would be happy with my photos of my daughter and I. She offered and did drive to an entirely new location to try and make the best of an uncontrollable situation . I would recommend having a photo shoot done with Ash to any of my friends and family and I do plan on having another shoot with her in the future. With Love

I posted the above review after Ashley ruined my daughters first birthday. Since that point, she…read morehas repeatedly harassed me to take down her negative review, offering "seriously buy ALL of the decorations, get a baker to bake the cake, and I can even buy her a cute outfit! I'll even gift you a canvas print or an album." despite me telling her no, over and over again. I literally had to tell her "no means no." When that didn't work, she minimized the importance of my daughter's birthday - "A wedding and a first birthday don't really compare..." I told her no they didn't, given that some people marry multiple times, but my only child will only turn one, once. So then she threatened me with legal action- "I will be talking to a lawyer and sending a Cease and Desist Letter for Slander." I told her to go ahead and consult a lawyer. Apparently, Ashley also doesn't know how to use Google to find the definition of slander. It's absolutely not slander if it is true. I have all of this documented, including how she admitted that she was scheduled to nanny on the day of my daughter's birthday, and her plan was just to call out sick. Is this the work ethic of someone you want to hire and trust with your important day? I am happy to send anyone screenshots. She then proceeded to post pictures of my child, as well as my personal address and phone number on social media. She says it was a mistake, but it's just another incident of carelessness and thoughtlessness by this woman. She states is was a one time double booking mistake. But she admitted to me that her original plan was just call out sick to her employers so that she could do the photography gig. That's not a mistake, that is a purposeful attempt to let down her employers. Does that sound like the work ethic of someone you want to hire? Whatever she chooses to call herself, you should look up her reviews, yourself, on yelp and other platforms . She has rebranded herself, so you can find her services both under her name, and also under Sea You Smile Photography. I am not the only person she canceled on. I think it is important that anyone considering hiring Ashley know this information.
