Anna Dobrovolskaia
Anna Dobrovolskaia is a motherhood photographer who focuses on honest, documentary storytelling for maternity, newborn, and family sessions. She has been photographing families for over four years, after leaving her six-year office career to pursue something that felt meaningful and personal. Photography quickly became more than a job — it became a source of calm, joy, and purpose.
Anna is drawn to the everyday moments that often go unnoticed: the quiet routines, natural interactions, and the rhythm of real family life. She believes that the most ordinary moments are often the ones people miss the most later, which is why she’s passionate about capturing motherhood as it truly feels — warm, imperfect, emotional, and real.
Although she photographs in many different settings, Anna’s favorite place to work is a family’s home. She sees homes as the heart of a family’s story — each one completely unique, filled with details and energy that can’t be recreated anywhere else. Home sessions allow her to build the most personal, intimate stories, where families can simply be themselves and the memories feel genuine.
People often describe Anna’s work as nostalgic and film-like, with a natural sensitivity to light and shadow. She gravitates toward a gentle, honest aesthetic that focuses on mood rather than perfection. Every session is deeply personal to her — she pours her heart and emotions into each story, treating every family’s memories with care and respect.
For Anna, photography is about preserving the moments that matter: the small gestures, the warmth of connection, the feeling of a particular season of life. She loves working with families who value natural, relaxed storytelling and who believe, like she does, that there is beauty in everything — especially in the quiet, everyday moments of motherhood.
