My Name is Olga and I am the Founder of Still Loved Remembrance Photography. My Journey as a photographer began after the loss of my first son “Mikhael” whom was sadly still born on the 5th October 2014. It was only after this traumatic experience that I realised that there is not enough information and support out there in moments like mine.
Looking back, I wish there was someone whom could have explained to me how important pictures of my child would become to me later on in life.
With the loss of my Son, I come to realise there is not enough information and support when it comes to the death of your child. My experience showed me that unfortunately it appears to be human nature for most to rather fall back on silence and to tip toe around you, rather than talk about what happened and discuss the fact that you may have just lost your child and everything that you planned has been totally shattered.
I took comfort in trying to solve the many unanswered questions I had by reading and searching. I started writing notes about my feelings and more so longed for one last chance to see my baby boy. The moment when they brought him to me went by so fast, resulting in a memory more like a blur, and unfortunately for my family we never had Photographs taken with our Son.
My Journey as a photographer started here and I further became a professional Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer. I then decided that I wanted to give back to other parents whom may have suffered a similar loss to mine, and therefore Still Loved Remembrance Photography was born.
I enjoy Honouring my sons memory by helping others and assisting them with overcoming their devastating loss. The loss of my son changed the person I was and moulded me into the person I am today. I have gained so much in life even though a part of my heart will be forever lost.
My eldest Son Daniel was born on the 16th of October 2015, and I was further blessed with twins Alexa & Axel born Perfect on the 11th April 2019.
“Mikhael” may be gone but he will never be forgotten. This is why I do what I do and I hope to use Our Story in assisting others with theirs.
