Šárka Stejskalová

I am Šárka Stejskalová and family photography is my true passion. As a family photographer in České Budějovice, I love capturing real connections, smiles and quiet moments that make up each family’s story. My approach is grounded in sensitivity, patience and creating a relaxed atmosphere where both children and adults feel at ease. I specialize in family photography, children sessions, newborn photography and maternity photography — always seeking a balance between a documentary approach and gentle composition. I enjoy shooting outdoors where natural light and the surroundings add mood and depth to the images, but I also work in a lifestyle format at your home to create more intimate and authentic shots. My style favors soft background blur and highlights emotions, colours and moments families want to remember. Working with me is friendly and stress-free. Before the session we talk about your expectations and the types of images you want — together we choose the location and the style that will best suit your children and the overall mood. During the shoot I leave space for natural moments, while guiding scenes with gentle prompts so pleasing compositions arise without forced posing. I communicate with children in a clear and patient way; newborn photography is handled tenderly and always with respect for the baby’s needs. I edit images to reflect my authorial vision — placing emphasis on light, colour and the emotional narrative of each frame. The final result includes careful selection and professional retouching, so you receive photographs that preserve memories of important family stages. Each image is intended to be both beautiful and true to your family’s character. If you’re looking for a family photographer from České Budějovice who works with love for families, creates a relaxed atmosphere and captures genuine emotion, I would be delighted to create authentic, warm family photos for you.
