Newborn Photographer in Munich

These weeks will never come back. That is what I photograph.

In English or Russian Enquire

I am an English-speaking newborn photographer in Munich, working in English with international families, specialising in natural newborn photography at home. I come to you during the first weeks after birth, so there is no studio trip and no need to fit your baby into a fixed schedule. The session follows feeding, sleeping and whatever your family needs that day.

Enquire

I do not believe in unphotogenic people. I believe in rushed sessions, poor light and no preparation.

Many mothers tell me they had never really liked themselves in photographs before. The first weeks are exactly when that matters.

Natural newborn photography Munich parents choose, at home

No studio visit in the first weeks

There is no need to pack a newborn into a car seat just for the session. I come to your flat, work around feeding and sleeping, and the baby stays in their own bed. Nothing is staged and nothing is rushed. In-home newborn photography in Munich also means no props, no baskets and no wardrobe you have to buy. Families searching for a baby photographer Munich, in-home newborn photographer or natural newborn photography usually want exactly this.

A relaxed photoshoot built around your baby

The session follows the baby, not a shot list. Feeding, changing, settling and starting again are part of it. Natural newborn photography works precisely because nothing is forced into position.

Newborn photos with parents and siblings

The session is not only about the baby. Parents and older children are photographed as part of the same story, at home and without turning the afternoon into a sequence of formal family poses. Older brothers and sisters are usually delighted to be near the baby, and those are the frames I keep coming back to.

When to book a newborn photoshoot

Booked before, shot after

The date is reserved in advance and set once the baby arrives. Most families book in the last weeks of pregnancy; the session usually happens within the first two to three weeks after birth, but later works too.

For older babies and for the years that follow, that is family photography in Munich.

What happens during an at-home newborn session

We find the best window in your flat, clear a little space around it, and start whenever the baby is ready. I photograph in the bedroom, the nursery, on the bed or wherever the light is - and I photograph the small things too: hands, hair, the way you hold them.

I photograph newborns throughout Munich and the surrounding area, including Bogenhausen, Schwabing, Haidhausen and the districts around the Isar.

Auf Deutsch

Neugeborenenfotografie bei Ihnen zu Hause

Zu Neugeborenenshootings komme ich zu Ihnen nach München. Kein Studiobesuch in den ersten Wochen: nichts wird gestellt, nichts überstürzt, das Baby bleibt in seinem eigenen Bett.

Mit Eltern und Geschwistern

Fotografiert wird nicht nur das Baby: Eltern und ältere Geschwister gehören dazu, zu Hause und ohne gestellte Familienaufstellung.

Als Mutter von zwei Kindern

Ich weiß, wie die ersten Wochen aussehen. Wir arbeiten um Stillen und Schlafen herum, mit Pausen, wann immer sie gebraucht werden.

Preis und Ablauf

Das Shooting kostet 600 Euro. Sie erhalten innerhalb einer Woche eine Vorschau-Galerie und wählen daraus bis zu 60 Bilder für die finale Retusche - oder überlassen mir die Auswahl. Wenn Sie die Auswahl selbst treffen, erhalten Sie die fertig retuschierten Bilder nach insgesamt rund sechs Wochen. Überlassen Sie mir die Auswahl, sind die fertigen Bilder etwa vier Wochen nach dem Shooting da. Der Termin wird vorab mit einer Anzahlung von 50 Euro reserviert und nach der Geburt festgelegt. Termine außerhalb Münchens werden mit 1 Euro je Kilometer für Hin- und Rückfahrt berechnet.

Fragen zur Vorbereitung, zur Kleidung oder zur Buchung beantworte ich in den häufigen Fragen.

Ich arbeite mit internationalen Familien in München. Die Shootings und die persönliche Kommunikation finden auf Englisch oder Russisch statt.
