Monika Kromková - photography

I’m Monča (Monika Kromková) — a family photographer based in Jirkov and the surrounding area. As a former kindergarten teacher and a mother myself, I know how to work with children: how to relax them, how to bring out their natural expressions and how to capture those magical, candid moments. For me, family photography isn’t about stiff poses but about laughter, small touches and the little things that make your family uniquely yours. I specialize in family photography, children’s sessions and sensitive newborn portraits at home. My work focuses on creating a friendly, patient and playful atmosphere: I come up with activities that engage kids, suggest relaxed scenarios that lead to genuine smiles, and leave room for spontaneous moments. I love photographing both outdoors and in your home — wherever you feel most comfortable and where memories are most authentic. My approach is simple and personal: we’ll start with a conversation about your expectations, then plan the location and mood of the session together. On the day of the shoot I work with patience and a light touch — I prefer to make children laugh and encourage playful activities rather than placing them into unnatural poses. At the same time I pay attention to the small details that shape the story (touches, glances, tiny moments you’ll want to revisit again and again). Living the everyday life of a parent myself, I understand family needs and will adapt the pace of the session so the experience is enjoyable for both parents and children. If you’re interested in documenting the first days with your newborn, I offer caring at-home newborn sessions in a calm environment where baby feels safest and most content. If you want authentic family photos that tell your story, write to me. I’ll be happy to get to know you, discuss ideas and arrange a session where you’ll feel natural — and fall in love with the photos.
