Fotoateliér Petra Jarolímová

As a specialist in maternity photography, Petra Jarolímová is dedicated to capturing the unique period of pregnancy with the utmost sensitivity and respect. Her approach focuses on natural expression, soft light and atmospheric composition — resulting in maternity photos that highlight both the beauty and tenderness of this moment. Sessions are primarily held outdoors around Záběhlice, with frequently chosen locations such as the Dendrological Garden in Průhonice or the Kunratice Forest. Petra prefers the golden hour just before sunset, when warm light adds softness and intimacy to the images. The ideal time for a maternity session is between weeks 33 and 36, when the belly is nicely rounded and the mother-to-be usually still feels comfortable. How Petra works: first you will clarify ideas and choose the location. The day before the planned shoot she confirms details, taking weather and the desired atmosphere into account. During the session Petra creates a relaxed, friendly environment — she does not force mechanical poses but gently guides to encourage natural, emotional moments. She emphasizes gentle communication, listening and respect for the mother’s comfort and safety. Practical tips recommended by Petra: bring several outfit options that emphasize the bump (long dresses, wrap styles or simple tops) and avoid strong patterns. Small personal props (a scarf, ultrasound photo, tiny shoes) can give the images an intimate, personal dimension. Petra can also advise on makeup and hair to ensure a soft, timeless style that complements the overall look. Why choose Petra Jarolímová in Záběhlice: her work is built on experience and a sensitive approach to expectant mothers.
