Hi, I’m Pauline Bossdorf, Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer In Berlin & Munich.

About Pauline

I’m Pauline, a photographer and birth doula. Born and raised in Berlin, I've also called Canada, London, and New York City home over the years. I offer my services in both English and German, capturing the moments that speak volumes without words. Photography has always been in my life. Always capturing the quiet and authentic —small glances, raw emotions, and the subtle beauty of everyday life.

My Years As A Doula

I've always had a deep passion for birth work. I trained as a doula with Carriage House Birth in New York City, choosing to learn in a place where the doula practice is well-established and widely embraced by expecting families. Being a doula has profoundly influenced and enriched my photography. Holding space for people, understanding who they are, and identifying what matters most to them are integral parts of my work.

Kind Words

“Pauline is amazing. I was at my wits end when I first reached out, Pauline came over and asked what I wished for most. She made me a cup of tea and sent me to bed. When I woke up three hours later the baby had slept and food was on the kitchen bench waiting for me. Enough to get me through the next two days! Pauline is a real life fairy godmother. Or maybe a genie. I can‘t express in words how amazing it is having her around. Thank you so much for helping us!”
