This was an amazing experience for my son jace ( age 2) who is terminally ill and severely disabled, jace had a super hero photo shoot and due to him being so ill and being in a chair i was worried as to what could be done as he cant do much physically and some people dont know how to be around jace. But as soon as we got there the atmosphere was fab and so welcoming, the studio is big and mike is such an amazing guy, he made us feel so comfortable and he was fantastic with jace! I highly recommend to anyone to have a shoot with mike, we will definitely be going back for more shoots with jace,thank you so much xx More...

Mike has been our photographer multiple times now and we wouldn’t go to anyone else. You don’t ever have to worry about any fake smiling as Mike really makes the shoot such a laugh and very relaxed and is VERY good at what he does. We even took our 2month old baby for a photoshoot with Mike and he was sooo patient and even stopped and waiting for us so we could feed our baby boy, he made what we thought was going to be a very stressful shoot (as you can imagine with a 2month old) to actually be relaxing and enjoyable and the photos he got were incredible!!

Before Christmas we took the girls to a fairy photo shoot as we thought they would enjoy it and to get a surprise photo for Jennifer and Richard. We went to Mike Dearden studios in Caerphilly and just had to share some of the results. Emma thoroughly enjoyed, quite the charmer, Chloe was a little unsure but came out of her shell with a little coaxing. Mike was fabulous, made us all feel welcome and relaxed the setting was perfect and the photos were absolutely brilliant. Thanks Mike I wouldn’t hesitate using you again if ever I need a photographer. More...

An incredible experience! I was given the photo shoot for a birthday present and it has changed my life. Yes that sounds a bit dramatic but it’s true. I have always had a negative body image but Mike captured a side of me that I have never seen before and I can’t stop grinning at the photos. I was really nervous when I arrived but Mike made me feel relaxed and comfortable very quickly, I loved the photo shoot. A massive thank you Mike! More...
