Awaited | Abu Dhabi Maternity Photographer

I met this gorgeous couple last year (yes, yes, we all know I’m a shockingly bad blogger!) – their sweet girl had been long awaited and their excitement about meeting her was contagious

I met them at this beautiful piece of woodland – it’s now been cleared which makes me so sadAbu Dhabi please stop cutting down my photo spots….

After spending an afternoon with them I just couldn’t wait to meet their little sweetie too – you’ll see her here soon,

Letter No. 3 » Sara Tegman Photography Blog - [...] Please click through our blog circle of Letters To Our Daughters. Next up, the very talented and lovely Kirsty Larmour | Abu Dhabi Photographer. [...]

Ginger Unzueta - always love following your group and the heart of love you all share ….I adore that picture third down. your girls are just amazingly cute and always so full of love and life! xo

Sarah c - Oh gosh sweety these photos are a little bit of Heaven!!! I love how real they are! So much joy!!!! You have the most beautiful daughters!! I love that you all travel so much! Your girls are so blessed to see so much of the world and I can only imagine how grateful they will be to have been able to do that when they are older! You have such a special family and I just love following your adventures!!!

amy grace - kirsty, there is just so much joy in the eyes of your kids. there is no hint of a drop of anything phony or desired or manufactured. the happiness is pure as their beauty. the many layers of your life must be such an adventure, but must need an anchor too…and that is so obviously you, their mama. all of these layers which you navigate so naturally, with such a positive attitude, open to change, to new things, to love in all forms, is such a gift to your girls. so many of us get stuck, become afraid, live timidly. i get this strong and beautiful feeling that they are going to hold on to this joy and openness. i love this set of images. they could light up the world. i hope your christmas with them was wonderful and inspired new memories and traditions. xoxo

Tamar - Kirsty, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I love following these ‘letters to my daughters’ series. What a great gift to them and how wonderful to be able to put down your words on paper. Moments are always fleeting and giving ourselves the gift of writing them down is beautiful. take care. Tamar

Sara T - Could your little loves be any cuter? They seem so excited to see snow! I love that you cherish all those traditions from different families and friends and make them your own. I love their laughter and fun-loving ways….they seem so close willing to do just about anything adventurous. Your youngest looks like she is just about making a heart with throwing snow. Looks like the perfect Christmas!

rowe - merry christmas to you, my dear friend! i love that you all live this nomadic life… every time i stop in and see photos of the girls in the desert or some peaceful island beach it makes me long to travel too! what an amazing adventurous life your girls live that im sure will make the open and accepting as adults… such a blessing! i cant wait for our adventures to begin… keep sharing the way you do x

Sarah Clayton - Such beautiful heartfelt words as always Kirsty. Love your letters project and think I may do this myself in 2013. Look forward to reading your next installment!

julia - These amazing images are so full of joy and excitement – they make me want to join in the fun!! I love this letter, Kirsty – how incredible that your daughters are getting to taste so much of all life has to offer. What a gift to them.

Kati - Hello Lovely. I love looking back with you. Saffy still has her front teeth. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! xxx

Debbie Wibowo - Love all your images, Kirsty..full of fun and really shows what a fun childhood. Your daughters are so lucky to be able to experience Christmas in different ways and countries, with different people. That’s sure a wealth of experience!

Kate - Kirsty, this is just so you – holding them together – giving them those bonds and giving certainty to those beautiful girls in an uncertain world – Happy New Year xx

Project 10 December 2012 | Abu Dhabi Lifestyle Photographer

Well as I mentioned in my last Letter to the girls this time of year get crayzeeeeee! And I totally ran out of time for my Project 10 – but never having missed a month I didn’t want to start now, so I shot it totally last minute – Today!! It was one of those “all over the place” days with a million things going on – most of which were just too busy to capture so my post is a bit all over the place too – but hey, it’s real life!!

I woke early, far too early and drifted in and out of sleep from around 5am, so by the time the Fajr prayer call sounded this is pretty much what I heard from the mosque beside our place – you can see the 4 glowing minarets, but the blur is totally a visual depiction of what my poor tired head could make out…The girls opened their advent calendar – it gives a greeting in a different language each day “Konichiwa!” today, and they hunted for our elf – who had stayed out all night…..Today was the Christmas Souk at the girls school so we’d baked cookies to take…I then headed off and did a few deliveries

before heading to meet some fellow photographers for our regular coffee catchup…home, and some newborn editing followed by personal editing for a future Letter to the girlies…I was super excited to find this in my PO Box – Saffy’s casetagram for ChristmasThen to school and the souk where Saffy was in the choir and most proud of herself! And then home… and more hunting for Ivor the elf, who is still missing….snowflake garlandsthis child frequently refuses to put clothes on – and runs away from me if I suggest them. She is exhausting!!!Giggles and chat – and yes, that’s me in a picture – she’s leaning on my knees….Pheweeee, that only took us to dinner time and I feel exhausted with all the tail chasing I did! Hopefully January will be a much more calm monthnow head on over and see what my friends Efi, Robyn and Breeze have been upto this month…

Letters to Our Daughters | November » Emma Wood Photography - [...] through this blog circle of amazing women, starting with one of the loveliest and talented women Kirsty Larmour The images she takes of her girls always blow me away and her letters are [...]

Emma Wood - Kirsty your images never fail to amaze me, and it’s not beccause of your stunning location, it’s because you are a beutifiul connected photographer who sees thing that others miss. Another lovely blog post to your sweet girls. <3

Debbie Wibowo - Oh Kristy..what an awesome location and the pics where they stood on the roof of the car is super awesome! As a mom, I think of all us can definitely relate to more TV/movie time and I always feel guilty about it. I love reading the part how you spend the quality time with your daughters..cuddling and sharing stories. They sure are memorable.

amy grace - kirsty, your images are always so incredibly striking, so perfect. the places you find, that surround you seem to match your spirit. your daughters will know their mother as a force of nature, as someone who models the drive and hope and optimism that will get them where they dream of going. life gets busy, and sometimes in those times, we find our strength, resourcefulness and independence. they are finding their way with you as their loving guide, showing them their deep beauty. the quiet times in between that you describe are ever the more precious. it is your perfect. keep basking in that stunning light you find. you inspire me xoxo

Ginger Unzueta - Love your letter so much. I adore all of your work really!! I sometimes feel that guilt, of saying just a minute to much at times. But our love is what holds us through it all. Lovely !!!

Sarah Cornish - Oh Kirsty I so admire your honesty and I can relate a million percent! Your words really resonate with me and I know they are going to mean the world to your girls! I think this is one thing all of us mamas can relate to so well! Your images as always are absolutely breath taking. Those little ladies of yours couldn’t be any more gorgeous!!

Sara T - Oh WOW. Those of your girls on the top of the car and your eldest under the tree, the two of them hugging, my favs. I love that you “love them higher than the highest mountain and down again”. It is the best to hear how we express our love in a way they can comprehend. I think it is so lovely to hear about putting your “busies” into perspective and time of year. It is okay that we do have them watching more movies than we would like. And beans and toast? I want that recipe. I’ll bet it’s a good one Beautiful, Kirsty.

Lena - I love your letters to the girls! And while I know how busy this time of year is for you (I myself had to resort to the TV more than i care to admit), you are such a wonderful Mom and your girls will have so amazing fond memories of their childhood. And toast and beans for dinner sounds pretty yummy to me!

shalonda - oooohhhh kirsty! i feel ya mama its def a pretty crazy time of the year…BUT…i love your outlook on it! WHen i quit my “real job” to be a mom i always heard that little ugly voice in my brain saying “but what will your daughters think of you, just staying home?!” then my life took this path and i found photography and i realized just how much they will learn from me and me “just staying home” wonderfully said and beautifully finished…as YES THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR SNUGGLES. xoxo sweet friend

Val Spring - Oh Kirsty, you have no idea how identify I feel with this letter! It’s been the same way around here. You know you are not the only one. But what you said is so true. it’s good for them to see how hard you work to help have the lifestyle that you have and it’s ok for them to have to wait or to hear a “not today” every now and then. And as you said, there’s ALWAYS time for some snuggles. I just love reading your letters and looking at the gorgeous photos of your sweet girls. Your life is so fun to watch from this side of the world! Thanks for sharing it

Rashmi - Now I want beans on toast… reminds me of my childhood.
I love what you wrote Kirsty.. this season is like that for all of us isn’t it? I am going to remember what you said.. that it is GOOD for the girls to see a hard working mum… that sometimes that is okay and they can fend for themselves a little more than usual. Just reading that I let go of a little bit of mom guilt I was feeling myself. I can’t wait to meet you someday.. i feel like we are kindred spirits. xo
