Hilde Isay was the only daughter of a Jewish banking family. In 1925/26, she began studying at the Badische Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe. Karl Hubbuch was drawing teacher at the Bauhaus while she was there. Isay and Hubbuch married on January 4, 1928. At the beginning of her marriage, Hilde Hubbuch was a model for her husband as an example of the New Woman. She started taking photographs around this time. She and her husband created self-portraits. In the summer of 1931, Hilde Hubbuch was an intern at the Bauhaus in Dessau. She became a skilled portrait photographer with a new perspective on the modern woman. Hubbuch did not complete her degree at the Bauhaus. When the Bauhaus closed in 1932, Hubbuch went to Vienna with her mother. At that time, her marriage was already in shambles. They divorced in 1935.

In 1936, National Socialism in Austria was rising, so Hubbach went to live with her uncle in London. In January 1939, she immigrated to the US where she registered herself as Hilde Hubbuck. She lived as Hilde Hubbuck in New York and worked as a photographer. She photographed mainly children and families. In 1962, she visited her ex-husband and his second wife in Europe. Hilde Hubbuch died in 1971. Today, her photos can be seen in the Bauhaus Archives in Berlin, at the J. Paul Getty Museums in Los Angeles, and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
