As a family photographer in Paderborn, Anastasia Folman captures natural, warm moments. Studio, outdoor or at home — relaxed atmosphere and individual visual style.
Family photography is more than a service to me — it's a passion. Based in Paderborn, I focus on capturing genuine relationships and unposed moments: quiet smiles between parents, the joyful laughter of children, and the delicate details around newborns and pregnancy. With patience and sensitivity I create an environment where children feel at ease and parents can relax — the foundation for images you'll cherish for years. My approach is personal and tailored. Whether in a bright studio, at a meaningful outdoor location or comfortably in your home, we plan each session to reflect your wishes. I provide a selection of props and advise on styling, poses and locations so that every photo tells your family's story in an honest and aesthetic way. Families with newborns and expectant parents benefit from my experience in maternity and baby photography, allowing a smooth, cohesive visual journey from pregnancy to first baby portraits. Sessions are intentionally relaxed: I take the time needed, guide children gently and foster a calm atmosphere where natural interactions can unfold. Many parents appreciate my patient, friendly manner and my ability to photograph very young babies confidently. While I offer light direction, the most memorable images often come from spontaneous moments. Why choose me? I combine technical skill with an empathetic, warm approach. My photographs are timeless, intimate and full of life. I also offer practical guidance on preparing for your session and recommend ideal timing — for example, maternity sessions around weeks 32–34 or newborn shoots within the first weeks of life. If you want natural, emotionally strong family photos, get in touch. Together we'll realize your ideas and create memories that last.
