Dr. Aneta Coufalova Originally from Europe, Czech Republic. I am a Doctor of Psychology, graduated from both Czech (2013) and American (2022) Universities. Even though I love psychology, photography is my big passion, which I am doing wholeheartedly. It brings happiness and relaxation to my life when I take photos and read the joy my work creates for my clients. I like vibrant colors, beauty, human expressions of love and the natural environment of the Earth. I try to put them all together to create something truly beautiful and unique. I do it because I absolutely love it. I have been making memories through photography for a large number of people since 2007. From portraits of both men and women, to couples, to weddings and maternity pictures, to family pictures.

I'm a self-taught photographer who started out as a macro/close-up photographer in 2006. I enjoyed taking water drop photos the most, as well as flowers in their natural habitat. From there I began taking photos of portraits of people. My experience with nature photography helped me create a unique style of compositions, along with depth of field, and a understanding of simple colors to bring out the beauty of my models. I have learned to use the natural environment to my advantage in order to create some of the most beautiful pictures around that go hand in hand with my models beauty. I'm talented with the ability to utilize natural lighting to enhance the quality of my pictures. I believe some of the best photographers are born into the craft, and have the ability to feel the photographic moment when they come upon it, more than what institutions are able to pass on.

I am not confining myself to a label such as a wedding photographer, nature photographer, etc. My philosophy is that an artist is always growing and there is no reason to put limits on an artist's skills. With that in mind, if someone presents an idea, even if it is out of my "comfort zone," I consider it like an option to create something unique. Regardless, I really love shooting portraits and close up pictures of nature.

All photographs in the gallery are my property and available for purchase on canvas and print. Payment can be made via paypal, direct bank transfer, venmo, zelle, or cash.
