I had a very early morning beach session last weekend which meant fantastic variety of light as the sun rose over Abu Dhabi. This great fun family raced around the beach, all 5 of them, yup, that’s a Mum, Dad, 2 kids and the fur-st born of the family, Heather the dog, and kept me very, very busy keeping up with them! They were adorable and just connected with each other in so many ways they just made capturing their fun family spirit a breeze. Check out how much fun this little fella was having!!

And here’s big sis and Dad practicing their karate moves against an amazing sunrise. And then her getting piggy back rides from Mum later on!Playing tail tag…. I really can’t help but smile when I see these! And a final one of the four human members of the family – I just love this….

Thanks for a great time you guys, 6 am really isn’t my favourite time of the day at all, but your infectious enthusiasm for fun woke me up good and proper! I’ll be in touch with your gallery soon, Kirsty x
