With the eye of a painter and the skill of a filmmaker, Paulina wants to capture life in all its messy, authentic glory.

Your story from a new perspective.

On Personal Cinema

Hailing from the Eastern Shore, Paulina spent the past six years in Los Angeles, attending UCLA and refining her skills behind the camera. Now back in Maryland, she is dedicated to serving her own community through her business, Personal Cinema. Paulina brings her professional film set experience to every project, creating films and images that communicate what words cannot.

Services

Personal Cinema specializes in a narrative-driven, human-first style of film and photography. Prioritizing moments over poses, authenticity over perfection, Paulina strives to tell your story clearly and honestly.

Portfolio

Every shoot is individual, reflecting its subject’s style, taste, values, and quirks. Paulina doesn’t just photograph you, but gets to know you, as it’s deeply important to her to capture the energy and essence of whomever is in front of the lens. Take a look at her past work and learn just a bit about everyone featured.

Meet Paulina

More than anything, Paulina loves to create things that move people. She couldn’t stay away from the camera after earning a degree in Cinematography from UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television. She brings both the skills she learned in Hollywood and the authenticity she learned at home on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to her work. From Family photos to styled individual shoots, Paulina wants to work hand in hand with you to create images that speak louder then words.
