Meet Mik

The photographer behind Still & Loved.

The truth is, I don't always find motherhood easy.

Like so many mums, I've found myself wishing time would slow down while also counting down to bedtime. I've wondered if I was doing enough, if I was soaking it all in, and how these little people could change so much in what feels like the blink of an eye.

Becoming a mum has changed the way I photograph families.

I no longer notice perfect smiles first. I notice the way your child instinctively reaches for your hand. The way your partner looks at you when you're comforting your baby. The cuddles that happen between the moments you thought mattered.

Those are the memories I want to preserve.

When you book a session with me, I don't expect your children to sit still or smile on cue. They don't need to perform, and neither do you. My role is simply to create a space where your family can slow down, connect, and be exactly who you are.

Years from now, I don't want you to remember what you wore or whether everyone looked at the camera.

I want you to remember how deeply you loved each other in this season.

Because one day, these photographs won't just remind you what your family looked like.

They'll remind you what it felt like to be here.

Still and loved. Exactly as you were.
