Pricing. Polina Sobol — family & documentary photographer in Bern. Outdoor & urban photo sessions for families, kids and couples

What’s Included

Every session is relaxed, personal, and shaped around your family’s natural rhythm.

I photograph at home, outdoors, or in places that feel meaningful to you — locations that add depth, atmosphere, and a personal story to your images.

Every session includes:

— guidance and support before the shoot
— help with choosing outfits and location
— gentle direction during the session
— 60–80 carefully edited images
— private online gallery for viewing and downloading
— delivery within 2 weeks (unless agreed otherwise)

Most sessions last around 1.5–2 hours, but I always work around real life — especially with young children. I follow the moment, not the clock.

The goal is simple: natural photographs that feel like you.

Booking

To reserve your date, a 50 CHF booking fee is required and goes toward the final balance.

Dates may be rescheduled up to two times with at least 24 hours’ notice.

For sessions outside the Bern, a travel fee may apply depending on distance.

Privacy

If privacy is important to you, simply let me know in advance — your photographs will remain private.

Events & Weddings

Coverage time is arranged individually.
The number of final images depends on the length and format of the event.

Newborn Story 

Portfolio session 400 CHF *  

Private session 500 CHF *

(up to 5 people)

A calm, home-based session for families with a new baby.

The ideal time is within the first two weeks after birth, when babies usually sleep deeply and settle easily. Beautiful images can also be created anytime during the first month.

I work patiently and gently, following your baby’s rhythm and allowing time for feeding, changing, cuddles, and pauses.

These photographs are not only about your baby — they are about the beginning of a new chapter for your family.

Questions & Answers

Here are some frequently asked questions from my clients, along with their answers. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to me!

Do you offer special rates for returning clients?

Yes. Many of my clients return for new chapters of their family story, and I always try to offer special conditions for returning families.

Private Session or Portfolio Session — what is the difference?

A Private Session remains completely private and the images will not be shared publicly. For a Portfolio Session, I may share a small selection of photographs on my website, portfolio, or social media. The session itself, the number of delivered images, and the final gallery remain exactly the same.

How can I book a photoshooting with you?

To book a photoshoot, simply get in touch with me via the contact form on the website or messengers. I recommend doing this in advance, especially during the high season when the demand for photoshoots increases.

When will the photos be ready?

I aim to provide the finished photos within 2 weeks after the shoot. In some cases, I may offer faster delivery, but this is discussed individually.

Do you do retouching?

I don’t perform heavy retouching, I believe in preserving the natural beauty and individuality of each person. However, I’m happy to do light retouching to remove any temporary imperfections if necessary to enhance the photo.
