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.
Gentle Days — A Home Newborn Film, Connecticut
A baby at home at three weeks old. Passed from one pair of arms to the other, folded into a shoulder. Nothing staged. Newborns are this size for a matter of days, and almost nobody remembers those days clearly afterwards. This is the film that remembers them.
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 if you book more than one session with me, it can span them as one story. Films are planned before your session, so if this is calling you, mention it when you reach out.
