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
Real birth stories, photographed with care and respect.
Family
Fresh 48
With me you get:
- Calm, unobtrusive birth coverage with no posing.
- 24/7 on-call availability from 38 weeks.
- The moments, details, and connections you may not notice in the moment.
- A private online gallery where you choose your favorite images.
I document birth quietly and respectfully, focusing on the people, emotions, and little details that make your story yours.
You can stay present in the moment while I take care of the photographs.
Why I started?
When I gave birth to my second daughter in 2016, I discovered birth photography while I was still in the maternity ward. I saw black-and-white birth stories on Instagram and immediately knew I wanted to create images like these for other families.
I started my photography business in 2019 and eventually specialized in birth photography. After years of photographing births in Russia and Texas, I recently moved to the East Bay with my family.
Now I’m excited to continue this work here.

Usually 4–6 weeks. Express delivery is available for an additional 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.
