Hey, I’m Petra! So glad you’re here
Based in Fairfax, Northern Virginia.
Inspired by love, light, and the moments that matter most.
I was born and raised in the heart of Europe, Slovakia. I met my husband in Prague, and we’ve been adventuring ever since! From North Carolina to New Jersey, Okinawa (Japan), and now Northern Virginia, we've called a few places home.
I’m a proud military spouse and a mom to kids in elementary and junior high, so I know just how quickly time flies and how every season of life brings something new, wild, and wonderful. That’s why I’m passionate about capturing it all—before it becomes a blur of memories.
My love for photography began after I lost my dad as a teenager. I was always a daddy’s girl, and after he passed, I realized how few photos we had of him. I would give anything to have just one image that truly captured the bond we shared. That moment changed everything for me. It taught me how powerful a photo can be—and how deeply we can treasure the ones that hold meaning. We don’t always realize the importance of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Now, I specialize in maternity, newborn, and family photography—but I’m also here for all the meaningful milestones: proposals, birth/fresh 48, senior portraits, and all the moments worth remembering.
This is your moment. Let’s capture it.
