Hi — I’m Lily, a family photographer based in the Kolín area, and family photography is my main calling. My approach is simple: I want your photos to look like you — natural, unfiltered and full of emotion. I specialize in family portraits, children’s sessions and newborn moments that often pass by before we realize how quickly they grow. Why choose me? Because I see a photoshoot as a shared experience, not a formal procedure. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust where children can move freely, laugh or be quiet. I don’t believe in stiff poses — I prefer to look for spontaneous moments: touches, glances, laughter and the small rituals of your day. My work has a gentle, natural signature that emphasizes the colours and mood of the moment without excessive styling. How does the collaboration work? First we’ll have a chat — I’d like to know what you love, how you spend your time and where your family feels most at home. Sessions can take place outdoors in nature, in a meadow at sunset or in the comfort of your own home — wherever your real memories happen. During the shoot I work patiently and playfully, adapting the pace to children and parents so we capture relaxed, natural images. Newborn and children sessions are handled with sensitivity and respect for the needs of little ones — their comfort and safety come first. If you prefer privacy, I will not publish images without your agreement. After the session I typically edit the photos so the collection feels harmonious and provide you with a password-protected gallery you can share with family and friends. I primarily photograph around Kolín (including Poděbrady, Kutná Hora and the surrounding area), but I’m happy to discuss sessions further afield. My work is about preserving the moments you’ll look at again and again — photos that bring you back to the scent of home, the warmth of hands and the tiny everyday wonders. If you want family photos that are authentic, gentle and full of memories, get in touch — I look forward to capturing your story.
