As a kid I always had a camera close by and photography was always a passion of mine – whether it was places, people or motorsport (my other love!).

However, it wasn’t until my wife and I welcomed our first child that it really kicked off and, as most parents do, I loved taking photos of our kids (and still do!) and creating beautiful images to hang on our walls. I love the whole process – interacting with people, getting to know them, taking photos and the process of editing each one to really bring out the best in each image.

Over time I became affectionately known as ‘camera man Mike’ amongst out friends and I began to realise I could turn it into something more than just a hobby.

Photos are powerful, they freeze a moment in time and can bring back joyous memories. So today, I want to share that love of photography I have with you, and help you create lasting memories of your loved ones.
