Rashmi Pappu - I adore Saffy’s haircut so much, but more than the haircut I adore her spirit! All little girls should have her confidence and her giving heart. You must be so proud of her Kirsty. Our girls are such beautiful people, inside and out.
Ginger Unzueta - oh, Kirsty, I love this. she is most beautiful any way she has her hair and that confidence..that is the beauty that flows. motherhood, so many wonderful phases, lessons, and loves we go through. thank you for sharing this. xo
Jessica Downey - Soooo beautiful!
Emma Wood - No no no, this beautiful letter is not just about your sweet brave girl making the decision to cut her hair, it shows how hard it is for us Mamas to let our babies grow up. But you do let her, in the best way possible. I already feel how inspiring you are to me as a Mother and a friend. You don’t smother, you nurture and you inspire. I could learn so much from you and I know that I will. Thank you for coming into my life with your wise words and your gentle ways, my life has become richer with you in it. <3
shalonda - oh sweet saffy!!!! what a beautiful independence and CONFIDENCE you radiate with!!! i adore your haircut but more than that i am smitten with watching you grow up through these letters your mommy writes you. xoxo to you too Kirsty 😉

Catherine Vargas - LOVE those pictures and your little girl is adorable 🙂
Amy - These photos of your big girl are so telling — I can see how much you love her in each and every one. And I am so going to write a letter about hair to my girls! Love this so much, Kirsty! You are such an inspiration to me. <3

Amy Lucy Photography - […] Next please visit the blog of my dear friend and kindred spirit Kirsty Larmour | Abu Dhabi Photographer. […]
Mairi Clare - Hi Kirsty

Not quite so original as Indy, but Aaron did a similar topic last year and he was the only one who put anything remotely thoughtful (all the other children bar none put sports star/popstar). He wanted (and still wants) to be an engineer and palaeontologist – the TA apparently had to get the dictionary out to put the second one on the display.

It made me very proud that he knows his own mind and didn’t just follow the crowd. We continue to support his dream and will see what becomes of it in years to come – we have kept the sheet he wrote it on 🙂
Letters to Our Daughters | July 2013 » Minneapolis Photographer – Olive Avenue Photography - […] So everyday I sign to you…”You are good. You are smart. You are beautiful.” Everyday I pray that you let go a little more of the weight you’ve carried since the day you were orphaned. I pray that the innocence of childhood will return…and that you will run free. You’ve stumbled across our special photography project called Letters to Our Daughters. Follow the chain of letters written by amazing moms and photographers across the globe…starting with one of my photography heroes and one of the sweetest people you could hope to meet Kirsty Larmour | Abu Dhabi Photographer. […]
amy grace - you are the most amazing mama. i always know i will leave here feeling full. i know anything these girls will be will be ok, as long as they find their joy. and you will lead them there. you make the world good. you make it bigger. you make me want to stretch myself. xoxo
Kate - To bring up dreamers, children who can see beyond themselves and beyond the here and now is a great gift to them Kirsty, especially in this day and age – you are doing a wonderful and important job by stretching their imaginations
Kirsty - Mairi Clare, that’s wonderful 😀 I think in the pressure to teach kids schools sometimes forget to let them dream and follow their own paths – clearly the TA was not a Friends fan!!!
shalonda - KIRSTY! i read this post smiling…i can feel it, i can see it and you are one amazing mama to have captured it. THE DREAMS OF A 5 year old are truly magical and simply beautiful….incredible sweet friend just incredible
Debbie Wibowo - Dear Indy, when you invent a machine that can turn us into rainbow unicorn, I’ll definitely buy that machine. Because I want to have rainbow hair and rainbow wings, and fly to places. Like your mom said, keep your dreams alive and they will take you to beautiful places.

Challenges and being vulnerable | Abu Dhabi Photographer

06.12.13

I’ve always been one who doesn’t take the path of least resistance – I’ve always pushed myself to keep learning, to keep being an observer, to stay true and authentic, but to grow and be open to change and new experiences – I try to do this in life, and in photography… but often this…

Summer - In love. Film scares me for those same reasons Kirsty. And light meter ap? I’m going to look for it right now. These are awesome and the fact that they were taken with your grandfathers camera makes them even more awesome.

Katie Ebenezer - Simply gorgeous 🙂
amy grace - kirsty, you are giving them a map. a wise, honest, carefully drawn map. and teaching them that feelings go with it, and that they are their own sources. you pictures…off the charts gorgeous. tree climbing is an obsession in my house. and we live somewhere in which there is a shortage 🙂 this tree, their wide open, joyful faces, illustrate the very thing you are telling them. i love your pictures. they make me feel happy. from this far away. happy and free. but kirsty, you are the best mother. i always leave with that knowledge. xoxo

letters to our daughters, april | a beautiful life photo - […] a rainbow, whose pictures are beautiful and epic, and whose heart is as deep and real as they come, Kirsty Larmour. Categories: letters to our daughters Leave a […]
jess - love this! such great advice and words for living. i’m sure their laughter will drown out those old ladies any day :).
Amy Lucy - Kirsty, every time I visit your blog my face lights up with a giant smile. Your images capture the joy and freedom and light that is childhood. Your words are so true, and ones that we should all take to heart. Next time it rains here, I’m taking my kids out to jump in puddles. xoxo
amy grace - kirsty…first of all, i was making sounds when i looked at these pictures. ohhs and ahhhs like crazy. because oh, the joy you capture. it’s as if you have a magic wand and are able to transform a scene into the way we feel it move. stunning and epic and wonderful pictures. “that day it rained”, and then your honest kind of humor. and the words – i read this twice, the second time to soak up the advice for myself. it was so relevant to me too, at thirty five, after some things that left me feeling shaken. you are such a pleasure to know. and these girls are as beautiful and alive and LUCKY as their mama. xoxo
summer - AHHHH…the joy of the simple things…in love here! And YES dirt washes off…these are the carefree and glorious things childhood memories are made of! Your kids will have more of these kinds of memories than most Kirsty! They are so blessed. And the negatives that happen to all of us are the things that help us to grow and enjoy life ironically…it’s one of the VERY most important lessons to be learned if you want to be happy in my opinion! Just love every word and image!
shalonda - OMG kirsty your ps was so wonderfully perfect i laughed out loud and signed all at the same time. WOW so simply perfect. and holy wow i adored that last images when you posted it to Facebook but the others…they take my breath away. you are incredible my friend
julia - Oh Kirsty, these images make me SO HAPPY!! I feel as if I can hear them splashing and laughing, and it makes my heart soar. Your letter resonates with me as well – such wonderful advice for your sweet girls…splash away!
Emma Wood - Kirsty, you amaze me more the more I know you. Your images are so special. I’ve felt a connection to them ever since I first ‘met’ you and now that I’ve really met you I think they are even more beautiful to me then ever. You have the ability to take ordinary moments and make them little works of art and your words to your sweet girls are so tender and precious. I’m really really looking forward to our next meeting. <3
Rashmi - Kirsty, your two beautiful girls, they are a rainbow of life colours.. i always feel so JOYFUL when I see their photographs. It makes sense though, they have a mother who shines such a strong light on them, showing them the way and that light is refracted by the prism that is life, in turn showing is the beautiful rainbow of colours that is your girls. <3
Debbie W - I love you, Kirsty for letting your daughters play in the puddle! 🙂 I so completely agree with you. Sometimes we are so afraid of doing things that other people put label on, that it takes away the real fun in live! And I so agree with you about growing from the negatives. I tell that to Jo too, but you said it more beautifully. And I so adore those pics, Kirsty! The jump in the puddle, emptying the rainboots…such a perfect childhood. xoxo
Kati - This project is amazing and your girls will cherish your words. xx
