Birth & Fresh 48 Photographer in the East Bay.
Hi, I’m Anny. I photograph birth, the first days with your baby, and growing families in Danville, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, and across the East Bay. Gentle, documentary, no posing.
“This is the event of a lifetime for us; for some, it happens only once. You did more than just take photos for us.” A mother told me after giving birth.
Birth is a day you’ll want to remember in every detail. You only get this day once, and it passes so quickly. Years will pass, but these photographs will keep the love and happiness of that day.
Birth
Here, I’ve gathered magical photographs from childbirth.
Family
Fresh 24
With me you get:
- The most touching, tender moments of birth
- Calm coverage with no posing (even dads say thank you)
- On-call day or night from 38 weeks
- A private online gallery where you choose your favorites
My lens focuses on poetry, not shock value. On this day, it’s not just a baby who is born; a mother is born too. I document birth with reverence, not fear; with artistry, not intrusion.
Why I started?
When I gave birth to my second daughter in 2016, I found black-and-white birth photos on Instagram from my maternity ward bed, and I knew I wanted to create something like that. I started in 2019, and I became the first birth photographer in St. Petersburg, Russia, to bring gentle, warm birth photos to parents. It’s an honor to be trusted with these stories.

Fresh 48, maternity, and family sessions.
How long until I get my photos?
Usually 5-6 weeks; express editing in 7 days (extra fee).
Can my session stay private?
Yes. Just tell me in advance; I publish only with your permission.
Where do you shoot?
Hospitals (following each facility’s rules), birth centers, and at home.
What if you miss the birth?
I’m on call 24/7 from 38 weeks and limit my clients to avoid conflicts. If your baby arrives very fast or something keeps me away, I’ll photograph your first hours with your newborn, offer a complimentary Fresh 48, or, if neither works, we’ll talk about a partial refund or credit.
