The weather is Abu Dhabi this winter has been crazy! Loads of sandstorms, and despite me getting my first session rained out in 4 years, we’ve actually not had our usual 2 days of rain….. so when there was a major downpour the other night the girls grabbed their wellies and not being bothered that…
We love living right on the edge of the desert. Our winters are taken up with trips out for BBQs and the occasional camp out, and Saffy even asked for her birthday party out there this year… it’s just the most stunning scenery…. I’d been wanting to do a shoot out there with my girls…
2011 – what a year!!!! I totally intended to post this remotely on New Years Eve while I was away but it turns our my hubby had picked a holiday destination with no cell phone signal or internet – oh it was bliss – but really I digress… what I need to talk about is…
Merry Christmas from us all…. Yet again I had to resort to doing our Christmas cards on the self timer – but we had a lot of fun doing them… here are just a few of the results and a pretty amusing video showing the making of it all…. Hope you enjoyed – have a…
It’s December! It’s December – oh my goodness, how can it be December??? To say the end of the year coming around this fast makes me feel old – that’s something Grannies say isn’t it??? But it’s hit me like a tornado in the middle of busy season here and suddenly it was the 9th…
Today is the 40th anniversary of the UAE – it’s a day (a week even) filled with celebrations of the many things this country has achieved in it’s 40 years. It’s been through an evolution that’s pretty hard to comprehend, from desert living to a true 21st century country, and I’m lucky enough to live…
I’m a bad blogger – a really bad blogger – especially when it comes to posting my gorgeous clients – you see, over the last year my focus has been on actually getting pictures to clients – getting them in their hands, on their walls and on their coffee tables… and one of the sad…
My goodness how can we be a 3rd of the way into this project already??? If you’ve not seen the Project 10 before you can read how we got started here. I usually do the project over a day the first week of the month – this month that fell on the week of the…
Wow, is it really already October??? I have so much to blog, so much to edit, so much to do in general… but it also means it’s time for another Project 10 with my fabulous group of fellow photographers from around the world (read about how we got started here) I did my shooting for…
Myself and 9 other fabulous group of photographers started a new little personal project last month. It’s a project where we take time each month to shoot for ourselves – to capture our own lives and our own families (something we photographers often neglect when running a business!). This takes me back to capturing…
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…
On a beautiful April day I was lucky enough to be part of another wedding under the beautiful spreading banyan tree. This time the wedding was of Hilary and Steve. It was a relaxed day of smiles and laughter and families brought together from all over the world. There were back garden speaches and drinks…
Last week was a crazy week – we all have them sometimes… we had 2 birthdays and Chinese New Year celebrations in our home, and all had to be done in style! There was dragon making….. And of course my Chinese girls insist on celebrating Chinese New Year properly… including showing off their awesome chopstick skills!!!…
I so love what I get to do for a living… meeting the amazing families of Abu Dhabi, and further afield, and reconnecting with former clients who’ve now become friends is just wonderful. I feel very blessed, and honoured to be able to capture memories and just a little bit emotional when I go back through…
La Leche League of Abu Dhabi has produced a calendar to promote awareness of breastfeeding here in the U.A.E. I was so thrilled to be involved with this project. So many people think that you can’t breastfeed in Abu Dhabi because it’s a Muslim country, or that you need to hide away. My task was simply…
