Keepsake Films • Chicago + Chicagoland
Films that bring you back
The tiny squeaks.
The soft breathing.
The way you sway without thinking.
Photographs freeze a moment. Films return you to it — sound, motion, feeling.
I offer short, quietly cinematic films for newborn, maternity, and family sessions — created to feel warm, honest, and timeless.
Why film hits differently
Because someday you won’t remember the exact sound of that newborn cry, or the way your baby stretches in your arms. You’ll remember the feeling — but it fades at the edges.
Film keeps the feeling intact: the movement, the tiny expressions, the rhythm of your home, the way your partner looks at you when you’re both running on no sleep.
It’s the most emotional add‑on I offer — and the one families tell me they’re grateful for years later.
Film options
Newborn Film
Short clips captured throughout your in‑home newborn session — edited into a gentle, story‑driven keepsake.
Family Film
Movement, laughter, closeness — a film that preserves your family exactly as you are right now.
Maternity Film
Soft, elevated, intimate — focused on anticipation and connection.
Films FAQ
Do I need to “perform” for video?
No. I guide gently and capture what unfolds naturally.
Can I add film to any session?
Yes — newborn, family, and maternity.
What if my baby cries / toddler melts down?
That’s real life. We pause, soothe, reset — and those moments often become the most meaningful.
Where do you film?
Most newborn films are in-home. Family and maternity films can be in-home or outdoors.
If you want to remember the season, not just the photo — film is for you.
