It’s almost Eid, which means the Ramadan promotion is almost finished and I’m gathering together my big print order! So please let me know by Tuesday if you want to be included in the large block print promotion. And because I can’t post without a picture, here’s another from my evening at the mosque. Bye…
Our family went for Iftar the other day at Sheik Zayed Mosque. This is probably Abu Dhabi’s most famous landmark, and deservedly so – it’s an amazing building, only opened about 18 months ago, which is the second largest mosque in the world, holding approximately 40,000 worshipers. It’s also one of the only mosques in…
This Dad-to-be is well in the lead for Dad of the year – not only did he organise the maternity shoot for his wife, but it was a surprise for her and is actually just the first of four sessions that will take them to their little girls first birthday. How’s that for a doting…
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…
I’m loving the bold bright colours of this combo. Nothing clashing, yet not all the same. And Mum and Dad will look great together in those fresh colours when we do a few of them together. The plain bottom halves would also make it nice and easy to change tops half way through the shoot…
This is what my drying rack looks like on nappy wash day – it’s the most colourful day of the week. In case I’ve not mentioned it before, I totally love my cloth nappies and they are sooooooo easy to use here with our abundant sunshine and heat. If you’re interested in finding out more…
Times have been busy and exciting for this family recently. Not only have they welcomed gorgeous new baby Hugo into their family, but big sister Belinda started school this week too. So I’ll start out with this picture which I just LOVE of Belinda and Hugo. Of course, we can’t not mention adorable middle child…
Most photographers have personal projects ongoing in the background, behind all their professional work, that they wish they had more time to devote to. My current one has a time limit – trying to capture some images of what Ramadan is here in Abu Dhabi. It’s a month that means different things to different people, but I…
September is the start of autumn in many places – but given that we don’t really get an autumn with leaves falling from trees and big temperature drops I’ve kept the clothes summery, but in autumnal tones. Again, all from GAP because they just mix and match really well.Happy Stylin’, Kirsty x
I get asked a lot of questions by clients before their shoots, or even before they book me, and it’s important to be armed with information so you can make the right choice about whether I’m the photographer for you. Is my style what you’re looking for? Do you need some guidance on clothing? Are…
Remember this gorgeous Mummy-to-be? Seems like only a couple of weeks ago I was photographing her, and now, she’s Mummy to these two adorable little 7 day old boys……. This is Paddy and Shay, and they are just too gorgeous for words… and so well behaved. They fed, and slept, and cuddled, with me, with…
I just thought I’d share these pics to show that Indy is much, much better – and to say thank you everyone for your concern and well wishes. She’s back on fine form and even indulged me a small, impromptu (you can tell it’s unscheduled because her bobbles don’t match!!) photo shoot the other day…
Oh my goodness, I am slack, slack, slack – or read that as busy, busy, busy…. I have some gorgeous stuff to blog, but in the meantime I’ve had my nuckles rapped again for not posting the Style Your Shoot on a Saturday again, as I said I would – sorryyyyyyyy!!! This week I’m going…
Little Isabella is one of the happiest, smiliest 7 month olds I’ve ever met. We caught up for a sunset session and sometimes little ones can be a bit grumpy by the end of the day, but not Isabella – either that, or Mum and Dad knew all the tricks to keep her laughing and…
I was recently asked to photograph the ladies celebration of an engagement (as in betrothal to be married). To be trusted to carry out such a duty was a huge honour as many ladies here don’t have their photograph taken, because on a day-t0-day basis, in public, their faces or hair are covered. Needless to say, in my chats…

Susan - That is incredible!
ADelle Lumalang - hi kirsty, this is a brilliant photo! all your photos are fabulous to be honest, i’ve spent a great deal of time today browsing thru your blogs. i was wondering what sort of setting you used for this shot, i am a learner myself and will appreciate any feedback, but if that’s your trade secret i’d completely understand. 🙂
Kirsty - thanks for the lovely compliments – ADelle, I often get asked for my settings and just don’t have time to post for so many pictures – but for this one it was on manual mode, manual white balance, ISO 320, 24mm, f2.8, 1/30. Hope that helps but feel free to ask more questions.
