Capturing real moments for families and small businesses.
Capturing real moments for families and small businesses
The way you hold your child.
The way you laugh together.
The way your passion shows when you talk about your work.
The little moments that happen naturally when you simply spend time together.
Whether I’m photographing your family or your brand, I focus on connection, authenticity, and the story that makes you unique.
Because the moments that matter most are never perfectly posed.

Connection over perfection.
This is the idea behind everything I photograph.

A family and lifestyle photographer based in Santa Barbara, California, capturing natural moments for families and small businesses.
Originally from the Czech Republic,
I spent several years living in Germany before our family followed a new adventure and moved to California.
My photography is guided by one simple idea: connection over perfection.
I focus on real moments, natural movement and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
As a mom myself, I know how quickly these moments pass — and how meaningful it is to keep them close.
When I’m not photographing, you’ll often find me exploring the coastline with my family, or enjoying coffee with a good book.

Hi I'm Marie!

"I would highly recommend working with Marie."
Marie was such a pleasure to work with!
She photographed a workshop of mine and was so clear and communicative throughout the entire process. Before the workshop she asked me questions to make sure that she captured all of theshots
I wanted. She clearly communicated the deliverables and clarified the event details so that we were both on the same page. During the workshop she was professional yet warm. When she delivered the photos and videos everything was easy to access and she captured all that I had envisioned.
I would highly recommend working with her!

"A photoshoot at home was the perfect choice. no pressure, no forced poses."
This session was an incredible experience.
I had mentioned beforehand that my daughter is shy and sensitive and might not want to be photographed at all. But my worries were completely unnecessary.
We simply drank coffee, had a piece of cake, and in the meantime, a few wonderful moments were captured.
Now we have the most precious memories of our everyday moments, shared activities, and playtime together.
