It’s confession time…. My family, the Larmour Family, have never had professional photos taken of us. I hear glass shattering, the gasps of shock and screams of horror around town…. I promise it’s not for the want of trying… twice I’ve contacted photographers in the UK and tried to arrange shoots when we’ve been there……

When I moved to the U.A.E. I was struck by what a beautiful and geographically diverse country it is. A few months ago I showed off how amazingly stunning the U.A.E. desert is in a shoot (which you can see here!) As a girl who grew up surrounded by mountains, the first time I saw…
Aaahh.. April.. time for a little break from school and a little break from Abu Dhabi for me and the girls – we headed off to Istanbul in Turkey last week to have a little fun, to relax, to sightsee, to eat our bodyweights in baklava, and to just hang out together. I feel like…
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…
It goes something like this…. Me: Hey Indy, look at this amazing coconut grove… how about you hold up that really cool spiky shell over there! Indy:….. urggggghhhhhhh stinky….
I’m so lucky – not only do I get to travel to amazing places but my kids love it too – and of course this family travel time gives me plenty of one on one with my girls… especially when we have adorable dresses to show off. I’ve mentioned Courtneycourtney before… she upcycles dresses from…
I mentioned in my January Project 10 that we’d just come back from India. We spent a couple of days in Chennai, a wonderful, vibrant city in the south, before we headed over to the amazing Andaman Islands. I feel so lucky that my kids have taken to travelling so incredibly well, that they’re fascinated…
We celebrate Chinese New Year in our household – it’s really important to celebrate with our little Chinese girl, who wouldn’t ever let us forget it!! Yesterday, for Chinese New Years eve the girls got to dress up in their special qipao’s and perform at a CNY dinner – I had such a proud Mummy…
It’s January!!! Here’s to a new year!! And my first Project 10 of the year (go here to find out how it started and how I’m involved with a fabulous group of photographers from around the globe, and here to see last months). I was soooooo lucky to start out my 2012 on a beach…
There is just something so magical about a white Christmas….. I caught these precious moments of snow and sparkle fun during our white Christmas in England last year… sigh….. Hope you’re all getting into the festive spirit, Kirsty xx
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…
This is a recent favourite pic of mine from a mini session in Shanghai – his big sister was one of my very first photo subjects back when she was a baby and we all lived in Southern China… And here she is – all grown up and 5 1/2…. You guys are such sweeties,…
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…
I admit it, my Hong Kong friends have the most gorgeous kids…. and the funny thing about this session was that Miss Alessia is quite a firecracker and didn’t sit still, at all…. or at least we thought she didn’t… Proved us wrong huh? I loved spending time with you guys on our trip, this…
Oh I am sooooo behind on blogging – I have gorgeous families from before I went away still to blog and I have holiday photos to edit and some fabulous shoots from my travels – including this family… oh how I adore them… my kids call them their “Hong Kong best friends” I miss you…

Kate - I do think you rock the self timer but I can’t wait to see photos of all of you in Paris!
Angus - I’ve got to admit feeling a little let down, KB! I saw ‘confessions’ and I thought you’d turned a page in your photographic career and moved on to Robin Askwith territory. But no, just more photos of you and the gorgeous collection of people you call family. Fame awaits you.
janine - ‘i love Paris in the springtime…’ i can’t wait to see what this family session brings. it’s about time you were able to enjoy yourself and let someone else do all the work!
Kate - Ok let me first say this…I TOTALLY feel ya. We definitely need to have an entourage which includes a prof photog at all times!
But these are wonderful memories…they might not be perfect but they’re you – in the moment. The ones you’re not in you’ll still remember everything about because of all the work you put into getting them. I have had to accept over the last couple of years that whether they’re perfect or not (usually not) ANY pictureiof us all together is better than no picture.
You have a wonderful collection of pictures and you certainly know how to rock the self timer.
Still, I can’t wait to see your Paris session…just try to read your website advice for clients first…relax and enjoy yourselves lol! Xoxo
SarahInParis - Hey gorgeous lady I can’t WAIT to photograph you and your gorgeous family. I’m SUPER excited for you to be in front of the lens and capture the magic of you and your gorgeous family. I’m super excited too. And hey no pressure or anything for me …. yikes!
And have to say my dear the family photos you have done yourself are pretty impressive! See you really soon. xxx
