Sumario:The analyses and results of standard model predicted Higgs boson with photons in the final states, using the dataset collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions during the LHC running periods in years 2011 and 2012, are reviewed. Observation of the diphoton decay mode of the recently discovered Higgs boson ($H \rightarrow \gamma\gamma$) with a local significance of 5.7 $\sigma$ and measurement of some of its properties are presented firstly. With $H \rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ channel, the Higgs boson mass is measured to be 124.70 $\pm$ 0.31 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.15 (syst.)~GeV, and the best-fit signal strength relative to the standard model prediction is 1.14 $\pm$ 0.21 (stat.) $^{+0.09}_{-0.05}$ (syst.) $^{+0.13}_{-0.09}$ (theo.). Additional measurements including the signal strength modifiers associated with different production mechanisms are also presented. Then the results of Higgs boson with di-leptons and photon, including the first limits on the Higgs boson production cross section times the $H \rightarrow Z\gamma$ branching fraction at the LHC and the first limits for the Higgs boson production cross section times the $H \rightarrow \gamma^{*}\gamma \rightarrow l^{+}l^{-}\gamma$ branching fraction for dilepton invariant mass less than 20~GeV, are summarized and presented. Finally, the upper limits at 95$\pct$ confidence-level on new particles (X) production cross-section with the new particle decaying into Higgs boson pairs in the channel $X \rightarrow HH \rightarrow \gamma\gamma b\bar{b}$, and comparisons to the predictions of some theories beyond the standard model of elementary particles based on the assumption of the existence of warped extra dimensions, are reported.
