Cape Cod vacation photography for families of all kinds who want to let their love shine

Creating the most meaningful mementos from your time together by the ocean

It’s not every day that you get the whole family together. But when you work with Emerald Eye Photography, you can look back at these moments any day of the year.

You may be visiting to enjoy the peacefulness of the beach or to celebrate a special milestone. No matter what brought you here, let’s keep the joy alive well beyond your trip.

These aren’t just photographs.
These are your tickets back in time. 

A great image can transport you right back to the moment it was taken. Looking at it, you can hear your daughter’s giggles, feel your mom gripping your arm as you walk along the sand, and remember the cozy closeness of carrying your baby before they were born. 

Since 2013, I’ve had the privilege of capturing memories just like these for so many families. And since becoming a mom myself, I’ve realized just how fast time flies and what a gift it is to have these moments preserved. 

My wife, our toddler son, and I love living on the Cape. It's natural peace and beauty make it the perfect place to take relaxed, authentic photos of your family. ​​​​​​​Learn more about me and my approach.

"Cathie is amazing. We have had the pleasure of booking with her over the last several years. She takes great photos and captures just the right moments. We proudly display her work on our family photo wall and always get extra copies to share with family. The most incredible aspect is watching how our family evolves over the years and having the same photographer be a part of creating such beautiful memories at our favorite place."
