Ateliér Fotoprotebe

As a family photographer in České Budějovice, I focus on capturing genuine relationships — from shared moments between parents and children to the intimate details of newborn life. My name is Veronika Holdová and FOTOPROTEBE is where I combine a sensitivity to natural light with a patient, human-centered approach. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to create a relaxed environment where the whole family can feel safe and natural. My work is based on an unforced, lifestyle approach — I prefer shooting outdoors in the soft light of evenings, which brings warmth and authentic emotion to the images. I don’t rely on overly ornate props; the most beautiful “accessories” are often right around us — a blanket in the grass, falling leaves, a tree stump, or a simple touch between parents and children. I make sure the session proceeds calmly, with patience for children and respect for each family’s rhythm. How I work: we begin with a short conversation about location and style, and I often recommend spots that work well with evening light. During the session I guide the family with subtle prompts and help create situations that lead to natural smiles and gestures. My style is observational — I look for real moments between play, hugs and laughter. After the shoot I carefully edit the images to enhance the mood and emotion unique to each family. In addition to classic family photography, I offer dedicated children’s and newborn photography as part of the family portfolio — always prioritizing the comfort and safety of the little ones. Every frame is edited with an emphasis on natural tones and lasting appeal, so you can enjoy your photographs now and for many years to come. If you’re looking for a family photographer who works with sensitivity, calm and a love for natural moments, I would be happy to welcome you at Ateliér Fotoprotebe or outdoors around České Budějovice. Bring only your best prop — your genuine smile — and I’ll take care of the rest.
