Karolína Novotná Photography

As a family photographer based in Opava, Karolína Novotná focuses on capturing genuine relationships and the small everyday moments that make a family unique. Her work is built around naturalness, elegance and emotion — three words she uses to describe her style. With a personal and empathetic approach, she can gently put even shy or restless children at ease and turn a session into a pleasant experience for the whole family. Karolína is a mother of two and has been actively working in photography since 2020. This combination of parental experience and a sensitive way of working with children is evident in her images — the tiny details, tender touches and fleeting looks that often slip by in busy days are preserved forever. For family sessions she uses the magic of natural light outdoors as well as the intimate atmosphere of the studio (Ateliér Hradec nad Moravicí), choosing whatever best suits the family’s character and the desired outcome. In practice this means calm, patient and unobtrusive direction. Before the shoot Karolína discusses your ideas and together you choose the right location, style and flow of the session. During the shoot she works with small prompts and playful moments rather than stiff poses — the result is natural portraits, spontaneous snapshots and gentle compositions that tell your family’s story. Family sessions with Karolína also include newborn and children’s photography — always with attention to the comfort and safety of the littlest ones. Her experience with animal photography and two decades of contact with horses enable her to create calm conditions even when four-legged family members take part. Parents who want to include their pets in family portraits will especially appreciate this expertise. By choosing Karolína you gain more than photographs — you receive sensitively told memories you’ll want to return to again and again. If you are looking for a family photographer in Opava who works with respect, patience and an eye for detail, Karolína will create images that become a beautiful reminder of your family for many years to come.
