We photographers say it all the time! Get in the frame -get out from behind the camera – be in those pictures with your kids – we Mama’s are particularly bad at this – we follow our kids and dote on them and capture their every move in an attempt to treasure their childhood. But…
I’m kind of in disbelief that we just finished year 4 of the Wish You Were Here Project. The fact it’s still going is such testament to the wonderful group pf ladies who contribute little snippets of their lives each week. For me it’s a little piece of calm in an otherwise full speed whirr of…
Wow, what a year 2017 was. A rollercoaster in many ways for some of my loved ones, but with the downs there are always the ups! And for me, seeing beautiful families in my favourite places in Abu Dhabi is all part of what makes a year great. And just look at them!! So much…
We spent half of the summer in the UAE before heading off on some travels which meant we had lots of time for local adventures! I challenged myself, and members of the “Photography on the Fly” Facebook group (please come along and join us if you’ve taken PotF and enjoyed it and want to keep…
Another summers day in Abu Dhabi, another trip to the beach! When you’re stuck slogging it out here in the heat and need a change Saadiyat beach is perfect – not necessarily refreshing, if I’m honest, because the water feels like bath water this time of year and the salt makes it sticky, but it’s…
I think it’s no surprise to anyone how much I love exploring around Abu Dhabi and the UAE and capturing photographs in some of our more diverse landscapes. So one afternoon some we headed off with some friends for a picnic out at the fossil rocks. The 5 kids loved clambering over them and playing/exploring/fighting/hiding…
I’ve been focussing on capturing my kids a lot this summer as we’re hanging out in Abu Dhabi for quite a long time this summer holidays. Despite the soaring heat and crazy humidity and dusty skies we’ve been out and about a lot and spent some afternoons at the beach. The girls are becoming little surfer girls and…
A beautiful review of some of the Abu Dhabi Families and moments photographer Kirsty Larmour captured in 2016
I can’t believe that we have completed our THIRD year of the Wish You Were Here Project – this project has become so dear to my heart. The group of ladies who contribute to it from around the world are wonderful and we share the weekly ins and outs of our lives – the ups and…
I was delighted to be able to capture the time when baby No. 3 arrived and joined this beautiful family. I shared their beautiful Dubai sunset beach maternity session here. I’ve captured a few hours worth of tender moments in the early weeks of all three of their children now and the trust that they put…
In a place like Abu Dhabi where people are always moving on it’s such a beautiful thing to capture a family time and again. To be there to document the excitement and emotion of the arrival of a third child is truly an honour and I have adored spending time with this beautiful family as…
I really am so very lucky to do what I do in such a beautiful part of the world. When people contact me for an Abu Dhabi desert shoot we chat a lot about where and when and what to wear and how the session will go – there is a little more planning needed…
Today I headed out to make a delivery to an adorable client and her family. We laughed and reminisced about the session and she mentioned all the little details I’d picked up that she adored. And we chatted with both our sets of kids about what we’d all done this summer and where we’d been… but…
2015 was a big year for us in the Larmour family and nothing sums it up better than seeing the weekly images I posted to the Wish You Were Here project over the course of the year. (You can see last years set of 52 images HERE). Our travels continued – we started the year…

Hollie Stokes - What a lovely testament to your ability in teaching your children the importance of self-care, self-awareness and resilience…especially during tough times. Such a vital tool to understand as an adult. Amazing job, Momma!
Jo - These photos and your words show me the most heartfelt and honest relationship you have with your girls. To share, explore and own each of your feelings is the greatest gift. Breathtaking in every way. x
Ann - This gave me all the feels. You are such an inspiring woman, such an incredible mother. I love the life you are giving them.and as always your images are so beautiful.
Diana - I love the sentiments in your words and the relationship you have with your two daughters. I can only hope I can half-achieve some of those with things with my boys, but anticipate discussing about our feelings will be hard.
Jess - This felt like a private love letter to your girls and therefore such a privilege to be able to read. I can feel your concerns for their happiness in all your words. But what is the most wonderful and moving thing about your post is how strong you are, for them. They are lucky girls to have such a resilient mother. I also have to admit how jealous I am of your freedoms and where you are living at the moment! How I long travel again to warmer climates and colourful new cultures.
Min Mohd - ooh your words, so soothing and full of wisdom! Love it so much!
