❤️‍🩹 Still too FAST! Still too FURIOUS!
Had my Cardiac Ablation today. I've been waiting a whole year for this moment. Last night I could not sleep, I paced around my home while my 3 children slept, tinkering and fidgeting with uncertainty. I fasted, arrived bright and early and thankfully was first up on the operating table so I didnt have to sit with my anxious thoughts for too long. After waking in recovery I was told that unfortunately the surgery was unsuccessful, and I still have Supraventricular tachycardia 💔. Honestly, that was something I didn't see coming for me. Feeling pretty bummed but i'm alright. Thanks to my wonderful family & friends who have been there for me over the last 5 years of having SVT, also very greatful for my cardiologist and lovely staff at the hospital. For now ill keep telling myself... better luck next time 🙃 I dont want to give up on fixing my heart and hope to give it another go oneday. My body was not used to being away from Billie baby and I had to pump for the first time in a million years, but mamas never take a break! Just very glad to be home with everyone tonight ✨️ Still on break from working till further notice 📷

🥀I’ve been sitting with this one for a while.
It’s been living in my notes, waiting for the right moment, and today felt like the day to finally share it.

I love what I do. Photography is such a huge part of who I am.
But lately I’ve realised I can’t keep pushing through and trying to do everything at once.
Not without losing the presence I want to have at home with my little loves.

So even though this feels like it goes against my nature as a hyperactive ADHD mama, I know it's right, I need this energy for my babies. I'm slowing down (which feels impossible), breathing more, and creating with more intention. Bookings will be limited till I'm ready to step back into my work, recharged, and more Mikki than ever!

🙏 Makes me nervous to share this. Thanks to all my wonderful clients and friends for being here, through all the seasons xx

🎄🥹✨️ Capturing our family's joy in the very spot where our little girl made her debut just three months ago. I love doing our familys self-portraits in the studio, a celebration of life, love, and our familys joy. 🌟 Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🍾❤️‍🔥☃️

41 + 3 // In the lead up to my homebirth, I was VERY pregnant and totally OVER being asked when I'd be having a baby! I retreated into my home, took a break from replying to messages and social media, refused to do the school or kindy drop off as I'd get constant comments and glances at my big pregnant belly. I know that no one was being intentionally rude, they were just excited for me, but seriously, it does get ANNOYING! I'd joke, "Sorry, it must be SOOO UNCOMFORTABLE for YOU having to WAIT" 🤣.

I had some INCREDIBLE maternity shoots this pregnancy but I decided to do one more, some self-portraits in my home studio. Except the studio was at that time set up as my birth space. After some false labour the day before I got frustrated, dismantled my birth space and set up for photography once again. Little did I know how soon id actually be having this baby!! I wanted to express how I was feeling at this point in my pregnancy, GUARDED, PROTECTIVE, STRONG and UNF**KABLE WITH! I had so much fun with this shoot, than wrangled in the help of my amazing husband to help with the dogs! He dangled Ham in front of the camera and tried to get the dogs to bark,it was hilarious! We finished taking photos and as I was packing up, I was hit with the STRONGEST contractions! My husband frantically re-set up the birth space, which he did in record time, leading me to climb into the birth pool and have our baby girl in record time too! What blows my mind is that it was less than 45 minutes from the last photo on my camera to the moment I was holding baby girl in my arms!

These photos again represent so much of how I was feeling. STRONG and in my POWER, I got my dream birth, where it was very much so hands off, something I had wished for my previous hospital births. Now I have my baby girl here and I'm doing my thing just rocking motherhood 🤘⛓️❤️‍🔥

✨️ Billie Jade ✨️
After 10 magical & transformative days of being curled up in bed with my sweet baby girl, feeding, nurturing, and getting to know each other as my body heals in the new journey of our 4th trimester together. I decided to not let time slip away without taking my darling girl downstairs to my photography studio, or as it's most recently been called, the birth space, to document her perfectly full cheeks, chunky thighs, gorgeous eyes and luscious dark locks. Studying this mini queens little expressions through my lens and having to pinch myself that this is my daughter! Our family is so smitten with this cute kitten, and she already has her Dad and 2 brothers wrapped around her little finger ❤️‍🔥

Yesterday afternoon at 3:19pm, within the walls of our comfortable family home, our beautiful Billie girl decided it was time to grace us all with her presence. It was a wild, amazing and fast labour, less than an hour. Jack was incredible as he quickly set up our birth space, filled the pool, made me feel at ease with affirming words of love as he somehow managed to hold me and organise 100 things all at once. He grounded & uplifted me with his pure excitment for what had just started to unfold. Our incredible midwives arriving a few moments before I birthed her safely into my arms. We are so incredibly smitten with our healthy and stunningly beautiful little girl, all 9lbs 15oz of her! I'll be bathing in the overwhelming rush of euphoric endorphins granted from birthing her exactly how I wanted for her and on my terms. Her Daddy & brothers Finn and Archie are unquestionably smitten and have not left Billie’s side since she arrived. We look forward to our friends and family getting to meet our newest edition when we resurface from our cozy, family, newborn bubble.

12 years ago today, I graduated my Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Photography. After uni I found my way down many paths, became a personal trainer, worked in natural health, naturopathy, hospitality, traveled all over Europe, USA & South America, lived in Thredbo for a bit and was a keen snowboarder! I moved my whole life with a 1 year old on my hip from Sydney to the Gold Coast, was planning next to become a nurse and midwife, haha. I did find out I'm ADHD as hell, which explained a lot, and I'm probably forgetting lots of things too. After much exploration, my journey though motherhood steered me back to my first love of photography. For over 2 years I've been running my own business and photographing all the things that set my heart on fire!❤️‍🔥Maternity, newborn, families, business branding & and weddings! Blows my mind how things came round full circle and so bloody glad they did! Mega greatful for the creative outlet, my beautiful clients, rad as hell community around me & also my amazing husbando of course🤘Fitting work around my growing family is something that is so amazing!👶📷✨️ I don't reflect back often, but in doing so, im stoaked beyond words 💕
