Cinematic Sessions in Connecticut
Warm, cinematic, alive. For maternity, couples, and families.
The Experience
Every session begins with a written vision questionnaire. You tell me, in your own words, what mood you want this moment to carry. Your answers shape the session before we shoot.
Wardrobe is part of the design. For maternity and women’s portraits, I keep a curated collection of editorial pieces available to use during your session. For couples and families, I send wardrobe direction with palette, fabric, and silhouette guidance.
On session day, I set the light first, then we begin. Posing is directed — small actions, real intention, never “stand and smile at the camera.” Each frame is built before it’s captured.
Every image is retouched individually and color-graded to the mood of your session, delivered within three weeks.

Cinematic Film Add-On
Films do something photographs can’t. They keep the moment in motion: wind in fabric, the way you turn your head, the breath between words. Children return to them. You’ll watch yours years from now and feel everything you felt that day.
Before I picked up a still camera, I spent years editing video. The way a scene is built, the way light moves through frame, the way a sequence carries weight, that’s the work I trained in before photography. Films from your session are edited in that same workflow: scored to music, color-graded to match your gallery, paced as their own piece of work.
Each film tier adds time to your session to capture the additional footage.

3 Minute Short Film — +$950
Adds 30 minutes to your session. A longer cinematic film with a full story arc and multiple scenes.
5 Minute Short Film — +$1,500
Adds 45 minutes to your session. A full cinematic film with deep narrative, multiple scenes, and complete arc.
