I’m a Czech expat who has called Vienna home for more than ten years. As a mother of two little wild ones, my everyday reality is noisy, unpredictable, and wonderfully real. Somewhere between the morning chaos, the quiet pauses, and an ongoing search for good coffee, I learned to notice the moments that matter – the unpolished ones that slip by so easily. That awareness is at the heart of my photography. I’m drawn to honesty and the unique rhythm of every family I meet.
My work is rooted in spontaneity and improvisation, which means I let every session unfold very naturally. I create a relaxed space where you can simply be yourself, offering gentle guidance whenever you’re unsure of what to do. Because of this laid-back approach, I am often booked by people who feel awkward in front of the camera, by families with energetic children, and by anyone who values authentic photographs over staged images.
I truly enjoy working with children. Any children. Anytime. Anywhere.
.
During a family photo shoot, I never feel embarrassed around kids, and I’m always ready to do whatever it takes to let them enjoy the session – whether that’s playing hide-and-seek, juggling chestnuts, or rolling around in fallen leaves like crazy.
As a mother myself, I understand that building trust with kids means giving them space to be themselves, respecting their boundaries, and listening to their ideas. Only by doing so can I capture authentic and genuine photographs that truly show their personality. Photographs that not only show how you looked, but more importantly, how it all felt.
A newborn photo shoot with me is a gentle, baby-led experience that takes place in the comfort of your own home. I visit you as a calm and discreet newborn photographer, with my highest priority being not to disturb the bonding with your baby in any way. During the newborn photo shoot, I never take your baby away from you or touch them – your little treasure stays in their bed or your arms the entire time. They can sleep, be (breast)fed, changed, or cuddled as much as they like – there’s never any rush.
For children, the session often feels like a fun time with their parents filled with little games, cuddles, and shared laughter. They’re always welcome to bring their favourite toys, which not only helps them feel at ease but also adds a lovely, personal touch to the story we’re telling.
I’m calm, sensitive and kind person. I believe life becomes more generous when we open our hearts, live authentically, and meet each other’s differences with curiosity rather than judgment.
I enjoy hiking across the blooming meadows of the Austrian Alps or cycling through its beautiful valleys. Lungau – in the region of Salzburg – is one of my favorite places on Earth.
I love when the sun suddenly appears after heavy summer rain. But I also love the gloomy autumn days, when the sky is gray and it is drizzling outside – a perfect time to creep under a blanket with a cup of tea and a good book.
I spend quite some time in my kitchen, bake sourdough bread, sprout grains, seeds and legumes, dry herbs and cook healthy dishes. I love Indian and Thai cuisine, and I’m very lucky that my husband can make the best pumpkin curry I’ve ever eaten.
“Eva is a truly fantastic photographer. My family has hired her 5 times in the last two years and she has delivered excellent results every time! No matter the weather, the energy/mood of our toddler, tired parents and/or sick kid, and the general chaos of family life (including our dog), she always manages to capture something special. On top of beautiful photographs, Eva herself is a lovely person that you will want to befriend and welcome into your family. She even comes prepared with a treat for our little girl to help win her over and keep her smiling. I highly recommend Eva for any of your photography needs!”
“Eva was recommended by a friend and we have done 3 sessions with her since Christmas – I feel like we are addicted to her and her wonderful photos!! Not only does she somehow make us all look great (which certainly has to do with the fact that we are always happy to be around her), but she is always super fun and sweet, esp. with our son who tends to be all over the place…We already look forward to our next session with her!!!”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Eva! My family and I have had the pleasure of taking part in two photo shoots with Eva – one outdoors and the other at our home – and we thoroughly enjoyed spending this time with her. Eva was everything one would want in a photographer. She was extremely warm and friendly and instantly put everyone at ease – a baby, a toddler and a camera-shy husband included!
Eva was both creative and enthusiastic in her approach and took her time to deliver the best results. She has a natural approach to photography and was able to capture truly perfect moments! My husband and I were delighted with the end results; Eva is a true talent who knows her art! We will treasure the photos when the kids have grown and look forward to more photo shoots with her in the future!”
Together we will create candid family photographs that capture real connections and all the little moments you’ll want to remember.
