Somewhere over the rainbow | Abu Dhabi editorial photographer

11.30.12

This all started when my daughter, Saffy became totally obsessed with the film The Wizard of Oz. It was topped off when early last year she saw some ruby red shoes and asked then (around March time) if she could have them for Christmas – she never wavered on what she wanted and the idea…

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
Project 10 December 2012 | Abu Dhabi Lifestyle Photographer » Kirsty Larmour Photography – Abu Dhabi Lifestyle Photography - […] 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 […]
rowe - i adore these images of the girls! what beautiful, honest, heartfelt words too… this time of year is such a busy time… mummy guilt is so tough cause its a constant struggle trying to get the balance just right but you are an amazing mum and your girls are so lucky to have a mum who will inspire them to reach for the stars! if you work hard, anything is possible! i really love this project! rowe x

Garden Fun | Abu Dhabi family photographer

11.10.12

No matter your age there’s something so fun about hanging out in your own back garden – so if someone tells me that’s where they want to have their shoot I’m all for it!! If someone tells me their child loves to play in the sprinklers then I say “hurrah, I’ll bring my underwater camera…

shalonda - “believe that life is good, because it IS” what an incredibly powerful bundle of lessons all summed up into one. and what a beautiful way to celebrate LIFE sweet friend xoxo
amy grace - oh kirsty, in these few paragraphs, and these other-worldly beautiful pictures, i feel like i just got a tiny glimpse into the warm light of your soul. tears are flowing and love is sent to you, and your brave soul. your openness and kindness is infused in every word. you are so lucky to be matched together. i feel it an honor to read what you’ve shared.
Sarah c - Oh sweet love!!! I’m in tears!! This is amazing sweety! The sentiments, the photos. What a treasure for your girls! I am so sorry for your loss!! 🙁 life’s lessons can be devastatingly hard! 🙁
Debbie Wibowo - Kristy…your letter is just wonderful. As I am reading your letter, I can’t stop nodding my head, agreeing to what you wrote. Your photography is also beautiful with all the different angles and pov. I can’t wait to see your next post.
jaime lackey - oh my goodness. such a sad letter with such a beautiful lesson. one that everyone she hear. i am so sorry for your loss but so thankful for what it has made you and will make your girls! xoxoxo
Amy Lucy Lockheart - Oh Kirsty, I think this might be my favorite letter of yours…I can just feel the emotion in every word you wrote. You, my friend, are someone who lives life to the fullest and I see you instilling that important lesson in your girls everyday. Your words ring so true and are a great reminder of how life should be treasured. Your images are stunning. xoxo
Sara T - I love your wisdom and that you marked the occasion of this letter with a sad and tragic memory and anniversary. That is okay to mourn and through the mourning, remembering and sadness life is SO MUCH clearer, sharp and succinct. I love your teachings and “life lessons”. I don’t think we learn how to dream enough. You are a true worldly inspiration and no doubt your babes will learn so much from you. Beautiful imagery, as always.
Kati - With tears in my eyes you said it best hon. Cheers to living life full speed ahead. xx

Letters to my Daughters | September 2012

09.25.12

This is the 6th month of this project – 6 months of sitting down, collecting my thoughts and making time to tell my girls some of the things I need them to know as they grow up, and as I grow as a mother – this is so important to me – I hope it…

Rashmi - So beautifully said my friend. Your Indy-pie reminds me of my own little girl.. her big sister being her hero and sometimes struggling and feeling unsettled without her sister there. These challenges will make them grow and step out of their sister’s shadow and become their own person. Such a blessing to have a sister. <3
Amy Lucy Lockheart - Oh sweet Indy! Sometimes it’s tough being a little sister and facing changes and transitions at such a young age. I know you cherish those extra moments with her, Kirsty, and she cherishes her time with you just as much. Such beautiful words to share with your sweetie. xoxo
Danielle - Such a sweet letter to Indy. My two were completely dis-combobulated this past summer, and had a crazy 6 weeks. One of them handled it sooo well, the other was not as easy-going. It is hard for these little people to adjust at times (just like us!), and being taken out of their comfort zone can be a good thing. Extra snuggles & hugs are a perfect remedy! I hope we get to see you all this Xmas, we’ll be here. x
helke - Oh Kirsty, it’s all so true…and expressed so well. Luisa is a bit going through the same now Asia is going to the school for the big kids. But she’s also doing even more fine ‘on her own’ at kindergarden and now has some more time for her litle sister. Thank you to show me your beautiful letter for your little growing Indy. And: your pics beautiful as usual!
SarahB - Your letters are so heartfelt Kirsty – the girls will treasure them so much. lots of love to Indy, hope things are OK for her now xxxx
Julia - It took me a few minutes to get to your letter this month, because I couldn’t take my eyes off of these incredible images. Unbelievably beautiful, Kirsty – absolute magic. Your letter was amazing as well, and one that I took to heart as I go through my own changes and wonky time. xoxox
Kati - Lovely. I really have no other words. Your baby is growing too fast! xxx

Sarah C - Oh Kristy! I love love your instagram photos of your girls. They are absolutely beautiful!! Honestly iPhone snaps have become a staple in our life because its really freed up so much time not having to lug our equipment around and being able to really snap and share images of our family with the people we care about. I can only imagine what a special time this month must be for you. Christmas time was similar for us for years and years when my husband worked 60-70 hours a week and we got extra time with them and Christmas break with our littles. Thank you so much for sharing something so sweet and precious to you with us all!! You just have the most beautiful girls!
Julia - Being an avid iphoeographer myself, I absolutely love that you have shared your images here! You have captured the feeling of the summer so perfectly, Kirsty; your talent and amazing eye transcend professional equipment.

Love the cozy feeling I get when I read your letters, I can just tell what a beautiful family and home you have! Hugs from across the world, my friend!
Tommy - I am a very lucky Baba and husband. xxx
Kati - Lovely as always. I really must do something like this for my children. xxx
Vinita - Very touching Kirsty! Lovely porject and I love reading your letters!

Project 10 August | Abu Dhabi Lifestyle Photographer

08.10.12

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…
