Real moments
beautifully you 

Real moments
beautifully you 

moments that feel like you

In your home, or somewhere that feels like you.

I'll gently guide you when needed,
but most of the time, I simply observe.

The way you move.
The way you connect.
That's where the magic happens.




relaxed. natural. effortless.

relaxed. natural. effortless.

Originally from Prague, I spent several years living in Germany
before our family followed a new adventure and moved to California.

I often say this about myself -


I notice the small things.
The in-between moments.
The way something simple can suddenly feel like everything.

That’s what I’m drawn to and what I love to capture.

I’ll guide you when needed, but I’m also here for all your wild ideas, chaos, and the way your life actually feels.

Hi I'm Marie!

Marie captures moments exactly as they happen, bringing out the best in each of them. She doesn’t push the children at all - they don’t have to pose or perform.
The kids had a wonderful time, and so did we.

"Marie, doesn't push the children at all - they don't have to pose or perform…"

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!
