Kate Stoimenov - Fotografka

I offer professional maternity photography with a focus on sensitively capturing the waiting period. As a maternity photographer based in Ostrava, I approach each mother-to-be individually — my goal is to create natural, delicate and emotive images that will remind you of this extraordinary stage of life. Specialization and approach I am a specialist in maternity photography and ensure every session respects the comfort and needs of the expectant mother. I work in a calm, friendly atmosphere and provide professional guidance on posing, styling and composition. I shape the images so the baby bump looks beautiful and natural — avoiding overly forced poses and focusing on genuine emotions. When and where we shoot Maternity sessions are most often scheduled between the 33rd and 36th week of pregnancy, when the bump is nicely rounded and the mother often still feels relatively comfortable. Sessions take place in the studio or outdoors according to your preference — both have their own charm, and I will advise what suits your style best. What to prepare I recommend bringing shirts or tops in white and black for shared portraits, button-front blouses, fitted dresses that highlight the bump, or lace accessories for more intimate portraits. You can include your partner, older children or a pet in the session — some of the most beautiful memories come from these family shots. Connection with newborn and family photography After your baby is born I also offer newborn and family photography, so it’s possible to plan a series of sessions that tell your whole story from pregnancy to the first meeting with your little one. Why choose me I am local to Ostrava and approach maternity sessions with patience, respect and a sensitive eye for detail. I am happy to discuss your ideas and advise on clothing and location to ensure the final photographs reflect you perfectly.
