Meet Martina!

From Europe to Chicago, From Dreamer to Storyteller
I was born and raised in Slovakia, and moved to Chicago nearly 20 years ago with a dream of becoming a successful creative businesswoman. Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do—but it wasn’t until I picked up a camera that I discovered where my true passion lives: photography.
That passion deepened when I became a mother. I found myself wanting to freeze every fleeting moment, every smile, every milestone of my boys growing up. What started as a personal mission soon became my calling, and in 2013, I opened my own photography studio.
Today, I specialize in family portraits, professional headshots, and personal branding photography. Whether I'm capturing the bond between loved ones, helping someone feel confident in front of the lens, or creating powerful images for a brand or career—what drives me is the same: connection, emotion, and authenticity.
I believe everyone deserves to be seen and celebrated just as they are—regardless of age, size, or experience in front of the camera. My sessions are guided, relaxed, and tailored to highlight your natural beauty and personality. There is no such thing as “not photogenic” in my mind — only real people, real stories, and real moments.
So whether you're looking to celebrate your family, update your headshots, or take your brand to the next level, I’m here to create timeless portraits you’ll truly love—and always look back on with pride.
