Films
Photographs hold how it looked. Film holds how it felt.
Alongside every photo session, I offer short cinematic films: your family in motion, with the real sound in it. The little voices, the giggles, the way they run to you. I spent years as a professional video editor before I ever picked up a camera, and these films are the part of my work I love most.
Filmed across Hartford County, New London County, and the Connecticut shoreline.
An Ordinary Afternoon — A Family Film, Connecticut
A family at home with their two kids, four and six, on an afternoon like any other: games, giggle attacks, a pile of hugs on the couch. Nothing staged. This is what a lifestyle family film looks like — and in ten years, this is the one they’ll rewatch.
Golden Hour — A Maternity Film in Groton, CT
Made in the last weeks of waiting for baby number two: golden hour on the beach, an evening in the park, and a quiet moment at home with her husband and their toddler. The bump, the wind, the little hands already part of the story. A maternity film isn’t only about the belly — it’s about the family this baby is arriving into.
By the Sea — A Maternity Film in Old Saybrook, CT
A couple at sunset on the Connecticut shoreline, and the soft in-between moments back at their inn. The way he looks at her, the way she holds the bump — the quiet love right before everything changes. Filmed on the coast in Old Saybrook, edited like a short film about the two of them becoming three.
Want one of these of your own?
A film can be added to any session — maternity, family, or newborn — and in a collection it can span your sessions as one story. Films are planned before your session, so if this is calling you, mention it when you reach out.
