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…
This is the fifth of my letters that I introduced in April. As the months go by I find myself looking forward to this project more and more and treasuring not only all the special things about my girls and our family but also the normal moments of our days. Next go and see what Jody McKitrick…

This is the fourth of my letters that I introduced in April. They won’t always be picture perfect, or eloquent, but they will be from the heart, and I’ll be writing them each month for my 2 treasured girls. I’m undertaking this project with the most amazing set of ladies around the world….. Next go and see…

This is the second of my letters that I introduced last month (the first is here).

I’m nervous… this week I’m starting another new personal project… it’s on a subject closer to my heart than any I can imagine… it involves pictures, and words… the pictures come easily, mostly… the words, not always so much… but I’m excited, and invigorated and motivated by the sheer importance of it… and I’m humbled…
This is a personal Photo Project I’m undertaking – a little challenge to myself – a set of goals to realise to help me grow, as a photographer and as a mother. Most photographers have personal projects on the go, (you can see my Project 10 posts here where I document a day in our lives…

Check out Luke! Only 2 and such a little skater dude! And so much fun to be around! I love one-on-one kids sessions because you can really capture a childs personality and just play and have fun without worrying about everyone else too. Seriously, this boy has attitude! The makings of a rockstar. Thank you…
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…
Everyone knows I’m a bit of a greenie – I try so hard to be eco-conscious, hard as it is in this part of the world. When I’m looking for clothes for my kids I’m always drawn to things which help my eco conscience – so I often look for more eco-consious vendors to work…
I am certainly not the first Mummy to take “Back to School” photos so I take no credit on originality here, BUT, this year is special because it marks my baby girl starting school (well Foundation Stage, which is like Kindergarten or Reception or Pre-school depending on where you’re from) – and well, I couldn’t…
I met Wendy and Curt late one scorching hot Thursday afternoon – it was in that crazy week when temperatures suddenly soared up into the high 40’s – but you know what, despite the crazy heat this couple are just remarkably cool… We had a lot of fun – laughing and jumping and goofing around……
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
