Photo by Oxy

My name is Oxy and I approach maternity photography with both heart and years of experience. I specialize in capturing the gentle, emotional moments that accompany the anticipation of a new life. My work is not just about technique — it’s about listening, patience, and creating an environment where expectant mothers feel beautiful and confident. I primarily work in my bright photo studio in Strakonice, but I also love shooting outdoors in nature at sunset when clients prefer a more natural, lifestyle look. Whether in the studio for greater privacy or outside for a freer, playful vibe, I tailor each session to the mood and style you envision. Why choose me for your maternity photos? As a mother myself, I know how quickly these moments pass and how important it is to preserve them. My approach is empathetic and unobtrusive: I help with preparation, advise on clothing and color choices, and offer a selection of maternity dresses and accessories for loan in various cuts and styles so the final images reflect your personality. I emphasize natural expression and thoughtful styling — creating tender, intimate portraits as well as bolder, glamour shots according to your wishes. How does the process work? Before the session we agree on style and location. I recommend scheduling around 33–36 weeks of pregnancy, when the belly is nicely rounded and the mother still feels comfortable. During the shoot I focus on a relaxed atmosphere, a slow pace and breaks as needed — everything with your comfort in mind. Beyond the shoot itself, I devote careful attention to retouching and post-production to ensure the images feel sensitive and timeless. If you wish, I also offer combined packages (maternity + newborn) so memories can be linked beautifully from pregnancy to the first family photos after your baby is born. If you are looking for an empathetic, experienced and creative maternity photographer near Strakonice, I would love to hear from you. Together we will create photographs you will cherish for a lifetime.
