Fotografie Smutná

Hello, I'm Hanka Benešová Smutná — a mother of three and a photographer who specializes in maternity photography. Based in Starý Bohumín, I view photographing pregnancy as a beautiful and delicate chapter that deserves a sensitive and patient approach. My maternity images are minimalist, emotive and timeless — created in spaces that allow for real feelings, not for posing or artificiality. Why choose me? I focus exclusively on maternity photography as a core part of my offering. My priority is to create a comfortable atmosphere where you feel safe and natural. I don't rush, I don't stage unnecessarily and I take my time — I guide gently, advise on posing and highlight the most important thing: your relationship with the baby you are expecting and authentic emotions. In my images, light, silence and simple composition play a major role, which gives the photographs a clean and elegant feel. How I work: I always begin with a short consultation — we discuss style, dresses, colors and location (studio or outdoors). In the studio I offer an intimate, home-like environment where there is time for calm and comfort; for outdoor sessions I use natural light and settings that match your vision. Throughout the session I pay close attention to your comfort: breaks, a pace that suits you and practical styling tips. I recommend scheduling the session when you feel your best — often between the 28th and 36th week — but I always adapt to your needs. My work is driven by empathy, a love of life and respect for my clients' stories. I enjoy creating photographs that will bring back the feelings of anticipation, tenderness and connection years from now. If you are looking for a maternity photographer who puts comfort, naturalness and strong emotion first, I would be happy to hear from you. Together we will create photographs that become a true family memory.
