My 2 girls have both been feeling very, very sorry for themselves this week and I’ve been spending a lot of time on trying to nurse them back to full health again… and in doing so caught the nasty cold they had myself. I’ve managed to carry on without re-scheduling any shoots (but with huge thanks to those…

Ramadan has lots of meanings, but to me, as a non-muslim, one of the most important aspects that I can easily embrace is that it’s a family time. It’s a time to take stock of life and slow down to appreciate what’s around you, and a lot of us here are lucky enough to be…
Ramadan has started here in Abu Dhabi (for those reading from abroad Ramadan doesn’t necessarily start on the same day in all countries). This is my 3rd ramadan here and I have been soooo looking forward to it. I’ve got to admit, the first one I found a real drag because we’d just arrived and…
I had a very early morning beach session last weekend which meant fantastic variety of light as the sun rose over Abu Dhabi. This great fun family raced around the beach, all 5 of them, yup, that’s a Mum, Dad, 2 kids and the fur-st born of the family, Heather the dog, and kept me very,…
I met Yousuf and his family last week for a session at their home – he captivated me from the start. This little chap sings and claps and dances and is full of the joys of life – which is all the more heartwarming because he’s had a pretty tough first year to get through. He…
I’m thinking I’m going to try and post Style your Shoots every Saturday for a while…. (don’t hold me to it cos things might get a bit crazy round here, but I promise to try!!) Saturday is the start of the week in our house – T works for an Arab company who still have…
…… can I wear high heels every day? My big girl is growing up far too fast…. sigh….. xx
I am in absolute awe of Jenny’s small and neat baby bump – for someone who is due to give birth in less than a month she looks fantastic and was so relaxed about the whole thing – which is even more amazing when you know she’s having twins!! Dad-to-be mentioned that Demi Moore had ruined the whole…
The Number One question I get asked before a shoot is “What shall we wear” and I say Keep it Simple! We all want to look our best in photos – but it all gets a bit complicated when you have multiple family members and all need to coordinate nicely. I’m not a big fan of…
Lucy and Peter are heading back to the UK, very soon, for their wedding – and wanted some engagement photos which showed them here in Abu Dhabi, where they live and where their lives are during this time as fiancee and fiance. I wholeheartedly applaud ideas like that! Their wedding will be great fun –…
5 years – 5 whole years since I got married – wow! T and I are off our to celebrate this milestone tonight because apart from anything else, we’ve never actually celebrated our anniversary on our own together before. So excuse me for a personal babble here but this is big excitement in the Larmour…
I know, I know, it’s literally just August, and we’re all doing summer holidays and it’s roasting hot and no one wants to think about Christmas until at least December 20th right? But if you’re after holiday cards this year you might want to at last give it a few moments of thought…. my ordering…
Customers ask me all the time for ideas about their shoots – I usually tell them to go with activities that are truly them, and really represent their family, or their kids, and their interests, stuff that they do every day, things that they do when they hang out together. Well bathtime is a fun…
I love when I get thank you notes from clients who tell me I’ve captured moments or connections they didn’t think could be caught in images that remind them of the beauty all around them. I had a note like that just yesterday and it made me think of this film clip (yes, it’s a Kodak…
You may remember Miss Elyazia from her newborn session. She’s 3 months now – and wow, changed so much already! I really can’t believe how fast she’s growing up. And she has so much hair – I have total hair envy as both of my girls had no hair until they were at least one!…

Louise - Poor little sweetie – hope they, and you are getting better now – try to take it easy – but gorgeous peaceful photo – I love sleeping baby photos – check her eyelashes out! xx
TL - Kirsty! You’ve got it right…family first is one of our “mottos”. I sincerely pray for a speedy recovery (and some good solid rest)for you guys. Take the time you need–you cant rush art anyways. Your lil one looks like an angel 🙂
Mommy3Bs - I applaud this Kirsty: knowing just how much time and how much of your soul you put in to each and every customer and their session, and after (which is also totally apparent in the picures you produce), just occasionally something has to give – take care of your darling family – recover well, and come back and inspire us with more beautiful art. Hugs, x
SarahB - Amen to that – nothing better than remembering from time to time that your child needs you, and you need them too – Indy is such a peaceful little angel, <3 x
Kirsty - Thank you for the well wishes everyone – we’re all doing much better and I’ll be back up to speed soon – but it’s lovely to know I have such wonderful customers who both care, and understand (and it’s true, you can’t rush art!!) thank you, xx
Bonnie - This pic is so beautiful it makes me want to cry X
