Polina Subbotina Fotografie

Polina Subbotina’s main focus is documentary family, newborn and event photography — and she brings that same sensitivity to the maternity sessions she occasionally offers. Her approach is shaped by years of working with families, births and early postnatal moments: respectful, unobtrusive and emotionally honest. Why choose a maternity session with Polina Polina doesn’t stage or over‑pose. Influenced by her newborn and birth reportage work, she aims to capture the real atmosphere of pregnancy: the quiet intimacy, the everyday rituals and the subtle gestures that tell your story. The result is natural, timeless imagery that feels like you. How a session works You choose the place — your home or an outdoor location in and around Hamburg — and Polina comes to you. Sessions are relaxed and paced to your needs; there’s no pressure to dress or pose in a specific way. She observes, waits for moments and photographs the connection between you and your baby-to-be. What to expect A calm, respectful atmosphere; images with warm tones or expressive black-and-white; careful selection and professional editing. If you wish, intimate 'skin‑to‑skin' style images or short film clips can be arranged. Who this is for Expectant parents who want authentic memories of pregnancy without elaborate staging. Families who already value Polina’s documentary style for newborn or family work will find the same thoughtful visual language in her maternity photography. Please note: maternity photography is offered as a supplementary service alongside Polina’s primary work in family, newborn and event photography.
