Ramadan Kareem. Ramadan is a really special time when you live in the U.A.E. Last year I strived to capture an Abu Dhabi Ramadan in photos so that I could treasure some of the things that make it unique. It’s a quiet time for contemplation and Abu Dhabi seems peaceful and even for those who…
Wishing all my wonderful clients and friends around Abu Dhabi and the world Ramadan Kareem – a very peaceful and blessed Holy month to you all, With love, Kirsty x
Ramadan Kareem to all my lovely clients and friends. I love Ramadan, in particular because it means the girls and I get to spend more time with Daddy – but also for the great food, the sense of calm and contemplation which prevails in Abu Dhabi and the warmness and friendliness of everyone at this…
Aaaahhhh, Ramadan…. one of the reasons I love it is the food! And I don’t think I’m the only one – my Emirati friends often tell me that despite the fasting they fear putting weight on during Ramadan because of the divine iftar food. There are so many things that are special for this time…
Ramadan has lots of meanings, but to me, as a non-muslim, one of the most important aspects that I can easily embrace is that it’s a family time. It’s a time to take stock of life and slow down to appreciate what’s around you, and a lot of us here are lucky enough to be…
Ramadan has started here in Abu Dhabi (for those reading from abroad Ramadan doesn’t necessarily start on the same day in all countries). This is my 3rd ramadan here and I have been soooo looking forward to it. I’ve got to admit, the first one I found a real drag because we’d just arrived and…
When the project wrapped up at the end of 2021 I decided I couldn’t let go of this habit of savouring time, week by week, and I would continue by myself to pull together one photo roughly every 7 days that maybe summed up a moment I treasured, or where we were, or that I wanted to share.
Ramadan Kareem to you all. It’s the first day of Ramadan, the start of the holy month here in the U.A.E. and it’s also July’s Project 10 day. I shot this 2 days ago as the school holidays had started – it was a day of hanging out, heading to the supermarket and also delivering…
Tomorrow marks the last day of school and the start of our Summer fun – in case you’ve not noticed I can’t wait!!!! And that also means we can start ticking things off our Summer Bucket List that I mentioned in my last Letter to the girls. Whilst there’s nothing I like more than just…
I can’t believe we’ve been doing this project for a whole year – I love how it makes me slow down and capture a day in our lives – which doesn’t mean every picture is “hang on the wall” worthy, but does create a picture of us that I’ll be able to look on in…
Yay – it’s finally the school holidays! The last term was so busy it flew by, but it was so busy it was exhausting. Our holiday days have been filled with lots of hanging out, DVD’s, days at the pool, baking, hanging out, a few craft projects, reading, lounging in pj’s till midday and nothing…
Eid Mubarak to all my wonderful friends and clients. I hope you all had a blessed and peaceful Ramadan wherever you were and if you were here in Abu Dhabi you have my utmost admiration for fasting when it was 50 degrees C out there. I’ve mentioned before how I love the quietness and calm…
Just a quick update while I have internet (its been very hit and miss)… we’re still here in Shanghai, China and loving every minute of it -the girls are getting very cheeky with their mandarin and I’m loving having a new city to explore. And rain – loving rain!!!! I’m doing lots of picture taking,…
Last summer we only went away for a month – which given when Ramadan fell meant we then had 8 weeks of school holidays summertime in Abu Dhabi. Which meant i needed a number of projects up my sleeve to keep a 4 and a 2 year old occupied when we couldn’t go out cos…
Eid Mubarak to you all. I hope everyone’s having a wonderful celebration – and those of you who received orders this week to give out as Eid presents are being met with ooohs and aaahs at how gorgeous your families are! I’m away this weekend with my family – these are a few snaps of…
