Hold these beautiful moments in a frame

This stage will pass faster than you think. Soon, the belly will be just a memory. In a moment, those tiny fingers will grow. A year from now, you won’t remember the scent of the morning when you all still slept together in one bed.

But photos remember.

The real ones – with toys scattered in the background, your tired smile, and his hand on your belly. These are the frames where love is truly visible. It is worth capturing this truth, forever.

The most beautiful photos are the ones that happen between the poses.

I don’t direct; I observe.

My job is to catch what happens naturally the moment you stop thinking about the camera. You don’t need to prepare or know how to pose—just be yourself, and I’ll take care of the rest.

The session moves at your pace, while you focus on simply being with your loved ones. That is when the most meaningful frames are created.

I believe beauty lives in the “between” moments – one breath and the next, a laugh, or a tender glance that no one else was supposed to notice.

Forget the pressure of a “perfect image.”

Your daily life, even in its imperfections, is the most meaningful subject for a photograph. I create a timeless aesthetic that won’t fade with trends, so years from now, you can feel the love exactly as it was.

You have thousands of photos on your phone,

but how many of them capture all of you together?

Hi, I'm Marta!

I see beauty where others see the everyday. 

To me, photography exists to preserve time exactly as it felt: raw, intimate, and honest.

I’ve always loved looking back at my own family’s past; at some point, we all want to know the history of the ones we love. Whether it’s the journey of becoming a mother or the story of a growing family, I’m here to make sure those memories stay with you forever.

FAQ

It’s very easy. Just fill in a short form on my website and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours with possible dates. To lock the spot, I need a written confirmation. Payment is made beforehand.

I love natural light. So I usually ask about two things: what’s your (or your baby’s) daily routine, and when is the best light in your home – early mornings, midday, or sunsets. Photography is basically painting with light, so I always go for the hours that give the best atmosphere. And the magic happens when the two things align.

I think it is! For many reasons. Mainly because I’d like to get to know you and your expectations. Every pregnancy is different – and so is every maternity session. We all want to capture something unique, and I don’t work as a copy-paste photographer. You want photos at home? Perfect! In the park? Love it! A minimal studio shoot? I’m in! Sometimes you don’t even know what you want until you talk it out and realize: this is how I’d like to remember it.

Yes, absolutely! Don’t be shy. I love when clients share their ideas, send me Pinterest inspo, and we build a whole new story together. If you have a place in mind and would love to shoot there, send me the coordinates. I’ll check if it works for photos.

Of course! That’s not even a question. I usually follow the pace of the meeting and the family dynamic. There’s always a moment when I take the mama aside for a few portraits and give the belly five minutes of fame 😉
PS – let me know beforehand about cats. I’m allergic and need to take a pill.

For maternity sessions, the suggested time is between 28 and 34 weeks. Check your calendar and reach out about availability for that period. (Of course, if your belly grows slower or faster, we can meet earlier or later.) Ideally, write to me 3–4 weeks before your dream date.

Some quick tips: no logos, no busy patterns, no neon mixes. Basically, nothing that distracts from you and your story. Stick to clothes that complement each other, in similar styles and colors. The most important thing: feel comfortable and like yourself. I don’t keep a client wardrobe – I believe uniqueness is the key. Before the shoot, I’ll send you a moodboard (a little cheat sheet) with styling ideas.

We’ll simply reschedule for a day that works for both of us.

At your home – or anywhere that feels like home to you. I love capturing you in the place that means the most. We can also go for a walk to a location I suggest, but I’m always open to your ideas – it’s a way for me to discover Berlin through your eyes. My minimal spirit also loves clean studio shoots, so if you’d like timeless portraits there, I’m happy to do it. That’s why it’s so important you tell me about your dream session 🙂

Yes. My style is documentary + lifestyle with an editorial touch. I love to observe and see what happens naturally. I’ll encourage you to interact and play with your kids the way you normally do, but I’ll also jump in with ideas and light posing guidance when needed.

I tell your story through my eyes, so I don’t limit myself to strict numbers. From experience: shorter sessions usually bring around 30 images, while longer ones give about 60.

You are the heart of the story.

For mothers, expecting parents, and families of every shape – I’m here to capture your story as it unfolds in Berlin and wherever your life feels most real.
