There are moments in life you never expect to have to hold onto this tightly. Choosing to have a stillbirth photo session wasn’t easy but for me, it was something I deeply needed it.

I chose Mikaela because I knew I didn’t just want a couple of photos. I needed an album. Something I could return to. Something that could take me back to that moment, even when it feels impossibly hard. I had read that many parents find themselves going back to the same one or two images, trying to hold onto every detail. I didn’t want to lose anything. I wanted the full story, preserved with care, so I could remember it all.

With Mikaela, without a doubt. I trusted that she would capture not just what the moment looked like, but what it felt like. Her presence, her sensitivity, and her ability to step in with short notice meant everything. Knowing she was on standby, in such an unpredictable, heavy time, that level of care and presence brought a sense of comfort I didn’t know I needed.

These photos are more than images, they are a keepsake of a milestone, a chapter that will always be part of me. Having them means I don’t have to rely on memory alone. They allow me to go back, to be vulnerable, and to feel the love. It’s something I will always be grateful to have.
