FotoKate

I am Katerina Skupienova (FotoKate) and family photography is both my passion and professional specialty. I studied Applied Photography and Media at the Secondary School of Arts in Ostrava, and the combination of artistic sensibility with a practical approach guides my work with families. In my images I seek naturalness — genuine smiles, the quiet moments between parent and child, and the authentic atmosphere of home or a favorite location in Ostrava and the surrounding area. I work with families, children and newborns with the utmost patience and tact. I offer both studio and outdoor sessions according to your preferences; I often help choose a location so the results reflect your family dynamics while providing beautiful light and clean backgrounds. For newborn photography I prioritize safety and follow recommended practices — newborn sessions are often scheduled very soon after birth, with options to borrow props and a professional, experienced approach. My working style is warm and relaxed: during the session I create a calm atmosphere that helps children and adults forget the lens and behave naturally. Beyond the shoot itself, I pay careful attention to post‑production — edits are done in professional image editors so the final photos look natural and remain beautiful in both print and digital formats. Services can be tailored to your needs: I can create tailored collections, design a photo book or select prints that make meaningful family heirlooms or gifts for birthdays, christenings or a first communion. As a local photographer in Ostrava I know many suitable locations and practical solutions for photographing with small children. If you are looking for a family photographer who combines professional equipment, a sensitive manner and a visual sense for composition, please get in touch — we will arrange a date and discuss location and photographic style so we can create real memories for future generations.
