YOUR SOUTH SHORE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER for LIGHT & NATURAL PORTRAITS

With only a few family openings each year, these sessions are crafted for families who value authentic connection and a fun, elevated experience. Expect movement, laughter, and imagery that feels alive.

Modern Family Portraits With Heart

I’m Christina, a Scituate-based photographer known for luminous, natural-light imagery with a soft, modern feel. While my work is primarily centered on senior portraits and branding photography, I continue to offer a very limited number of family sessions each year by request.

With a background in elementary music education and life as a mom of two young children, working with families feels second nature. My family sessions are calm, thoughtfully guided, and focused on connection, resulting in images that feel elevated, timeless, and true to you.

FAMILY SESSION information

2022 family sessions are fully booked at this time!  If you'd like to book a family session for 2023, please pre-book your session as soon as possible!  Pre-booking does not mean you have to choose your date right now, you simply put down a deposit to guarantee yourself a spot.  Christina Runnals Photography takes on a very limited amount of family sessions in the summer and autumn months, so please prebook by March at the latest if possible for those months!

go back

Yes!  Your pet is a member of your family and if you would like to include him or her in your photos, please do!  We will need to choose a dog-friendly location, and I advise bringing a trusted "pet wrangler" along to your session :-) 

can our dog be included in our portrait session?

We will reschedule of course!  I can usually reschedule within a week or two of your original session date. 

what if it's going to rain on the day of our session?

Yes! I’m happy to set up a monthly plan leading up to your session.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Yes, I do!  I have travelled all over New England and the East Coast for shoots.  I live in Scituate, and charge a travel fee according to how far a location is from my studio.  You can view current travel fees here.  

do you travel for sessions?

For summer and autumn session dates, many families reserve a session six months to a year in advance.  The sooner you book, the better! 

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD we BOOK?
