Monika Křenová creates portraits in Horní Měcholupy and Prague. Her lifestyle approach and calm guidance help clients relax and reveal their true selves in front of the lens.
I am Monika Křenová, a portrait photographer based in Horní Měcholupy near Prague. My approach to portrait photography is founded on the belief that the best images are made in a natural, relaxed environment—when people feel safe, authentic, and open to vulnerability. I specialize in portraits that focus on personality, mood, and genuine moments rather than rigid poses. Why choose me? I treat each portrait as an individual story. Instead of producing stiff, half‑professional images, I look for the subtle nuances of your expression—the smile, the glance, the small gesture that says more than words. With sensitive direction and discreet staging, I help even those who feel uncomfortable in front of the camera to relax and show their natural beauty. How I work: the process begins with a short consultation where we discuss your expectations, style, and what you want the portrait to express. The shoot moves at an easy pace, often using natural light and locations that suit you—at home, outdoors, or in my cozy home studio in Horní Měcholupy. During the session I allow space for spontaneous moments while gently guiding poses and composition to create strong, beautiful images. After the shoot I carefully retouch selected photos to preserve authenticity while giving them a timeless, polished look. My work is guided by respect for each person’s story—every portrait is a small narrative. I photograph couples and individuals with an emphasis on naturalness, sensitivity, and aesthetics. If you are looking for a portrait photographer who creates a calm atmosphere, listens closely, and transforms real moments into beautiful images, I would be delighted to create portraits with you that endure as personal keepsakes. If you’d like to discuss a session or learn more, feel free to get in touch—let’s create portraits that truly reflect who you are.
