Shalonda Chaddock - ha we too have a front tooth that is :taking forever to grow in” clearly for the same reasons hahahaha…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL SEVEN YEAR OLD kirsty! 7 is sure to be a year filled with wonder and magic for your princess!!!! xoxo sweet friend
Janine - seven is such a huge step up from 6, isn’t it?!! this is such a loving letter from a loving mum. HaPpY bIrThDaY, Saffy 😀
Rashmi - Happiest of birthday to sweet Saffy. <3 Such a beautiful little girl, growing more and more into herself. Justin Bieber.. oh boy!
amy grace - kirsty, i love the way this was written. like a children’s book, with such lovely repetition and rhythm, drawing loops around all the things that make her who she is right now. it is going to change so much more. this is still so little, as you know. but drink in all of the little bits like this. your colors, your hope, your optimism. so much good about you is woven into these lines. as sad as the picture is, i am so touched that she cries at movies. empathy is a beautiful thing, that seems to be too rare. she is a gift, and so are you <3
helke - 太美丽!! so beautiful this letter…it’s all so true! thank you for expressing yourself and sharing it. happy 7 saffy!!
Debbie Wibowo - Happy 7th birthday, Saffy! I really enjoyed reading your letter, Kristy. I feel that there are so many connections there, being a sensitive girl and yep including the Justin Bieber. 🙂 I really hope our girls can meet each other some day. Wishing you a magnificent seven, Saffy!
Sara T - Happy Birthday to your sweet Saffy. I adore her spunk. I love your letter to her all of the sameness, but about to changeness. Your energy is exquisite. I love that you lead her to explore and be independent and what coming of age really means to her. That it is okay that all of these beautiful things happen and to embrace them and mark the occasions and that they are important to her. That you understand the growing up process so deeply and that you remember when you were her age. It is so eloquent and lovely. Such a perfect birthday present to her.
Sandi - What a fun shoot! Loved it!
Kati - Oh my…where is the time going? 7!… Already?!! Happy Birthday beautiful Saffy! xx

Please got visit the amazing Kirsty Larmour to follow the chain of letters from other photographer moms participating in Letters to Our […]
Ginger Unzueta - I always enjoy reading your posts each month. I can relate so well to you. Your words—that all you want is time, you need nothing else. I can relate so well. No matter what we do, time seems to get this hold on us and it goes by so quickly, doesn’t it? I can tell you truly enjoy your girls and its beautiful!
amy grace - kirsty, your world is color and life and energy and SO much love. we all want that time i think. wish we could use it in different ways, try out choices, do it over and over. i am always struck by this feeling that you are teaching your girls so much about how to live IN the world. you are busy because you are engaged, doing things, experiencing wildly different places, making home about who you are, not where you are. i just cannot help feeling alive, happy, hopeful and lighter looking at these pictures. it’s one of your talents. they are sunshine and you know how to frame that perfectly. i love the mama you are.
Rashmi - Happy Happy Happy (three times) Birthday to you and your beautiful girls Kirsty! I hope your birthday wishes come true and you get to spend lots and lots of time and make many more wonderful memories with your two rainbow girls! Your photos are just so full of joy and colour and fun! xo
Kate - Every time… every time you floor me by saying the words I want to say… you say what Mums think but never find a way of putting down… and you illustrate so beautifully with such real life images Kirsty
Sarah B - I LOVE IT! But Kirsty, know you ARE bottling up time, by taking the time to sit and write and save these memories up like this, you’re ahead of the game on some of us sweetie xx
jaime lackey - how awesome and colorful are these. i would pause time about 100 times a day bc i want to remember a smell, or a hug, or a silly saying that my monkeys say, too. your girls look so fun and sassy!
Debbie Wibowo - Eek, Kristy..first I have to say that I love all the colors in the pics. They make me happy! 🙂 I love the fact that you sing happy birthday in different language, I think that’s a cool idea. I totally agree with you about bottling up the time. Wish we can really do that. Love the P.S. part…you are one cool mom!
Sara T - Kirsty! Love all the color and movement and perspective of your sweet “Girlie Whirlie Pies”…is your letter ever more endearing? I love their glossy blonde hair, loving smiles and sassy sunglasses. I love that for your birthday you want to slow time and just be. I love your birthday traditions and signing in 3 different languages. I want to chalk my daughters hair in rainbow colors, but something tells me it shows up better on your babes hair. I loved reading about your sweet slice of life.
Lena Antaramian - So sweet and beautiful- both the images and your words! I can so related to everything you are saying about wanting to have time stand still…i feel that it is going by way too fast and before we know it the girls won’t be little girls any more and wont’ need their mamas as much as they do now….
Kati - Love. Love.Love!! xx
Janine - i’m having total girl envy right now. can i chalk up the boys hair and play with hula hoops as well?! happy birthday, everyone XO
Jody - Kirsty, I love your posts to your daughters. So special and the photos are beautiful xxx
Amy Lucy - Kirsty, you never fail to amaze me. Your images are absolutely stunning. I always get so lost in your blog! Your works resonate with me as I approach a birthday as well. What I wouldn’t give for more time! More time to take it all in, more time to capture it all, more time to just be present. xoxo

Ginger Unzueta - always love following your group and the heart of love you all share ….I adore that picture third down. your girls are just amazingly cute and always so full of love and life! xo
Sarah c - Oh gosh sweety these photos are a little bit of Heaven!!! I love how real they are! So much joy!!!! You have the most beautiful daughters!! I love that you all travel so much! Your girls are so blessed to see so much of the world and I can only imagine how grateful they will be to have been able to do that when they are older! You have such a special family and I just love following your adventures!!!
amy grace - kirsty, there is just so much joy in the eyes of your kids. there is no hint of a drop of anything phony or desired or manufactured. the happiness is pure as their beauty. the many layers of your life must be such an adventure, but must need an anchor too…and that is so obviously you, their mama. all of these layers which you navigate so naturally, with such a positive attitude, open to change, to new things, to love in all forms, is such a gift to your girls. so many of us get stuck, become afraid, live timidly. i get this strong and beautiful feeling that they are going to hold on to this joy and openness. i love this set of images. they could light up the world. i hope your christmas with them was wonderful and inspired new memories and traditions. xoxo
Tamar - Kirsty, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I love following these ‘letters to my daughters’ series. What a great gift to them and how wonderful to be able to put down your words on paper. Moments are always fleeting and giving ourselves the gift of writing them down is beautiful. take care. Tamar 🙂
Sara T - Could your little loves be any cuter? They seem so excited to see snow! I love that you cherish all those traditions from different families and friends and make them your own. I love their laughter and fun-loving ways….they seem so close willing to do just about anything adventurous. Your youngest looks like she is just about making a heart with throwing snow. Looks like the perfect Christmas!
rowe - merry christmas to you, my dear friend! i love that you all live this nomadic life… every time i stop in and see photos of the girls in the desert or some peaceful island beach it makes me long to travel too! what an amazing adventurous life your girls live that im sure will make the open and accepting as adults… such a blessing! i cant wait for our adventures to begin… keep sharing the way you do x
Sarah Clayton - Such beautiful heartfelt words as always Kirsty. Love your letters project and think I may do this myself in 2013. Look forward to reading your next installment!
julia - These amazing images are so full of joy and excitement – they make me want to join in the fun!! I love this letter, Kirsty – how incredible that your daughters are getting to taste so much of all life has to offer. What a gift to them.
Kati - Hello Lovely. I love looking back with you. Saffy still has her front teeth. 🙂 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! xxx
Debbie Wibowo - Love all your images, Kirsty..full of fun and really shows what a fun childhood. Your daughters are so lucky to be able to experience Christmas in different ways and countries, with different people. That’s sure a wealth of experience!
Kate - Kirsty, this is just so you – holding them together – giving them those bonds and giving certainty to those beautiful girls in an uncertain world – Happy New Year xx

Letters to Our Daughters | November » Emma Wood Photography - […] through this blog circle of amazing women, starting with one of the loveliest and talented women Kirsty Larmour The images she takes of her girls always blow me away and her letters are […]
Emma Wood - Kirsty your images never fail to amaze me, and it’s not beccause of your stunning location, it’s because you are a beutifiul connected photographer who sees thing that others miss. Another lovely blog post to your sweet girls. <3
Debbie Wibowo - Oh Kristy..what an awesome location and the pics where they stood on the roof of the car is super awesome! As a mom, I think of all us can definitely relate to more TV/movie time and I always feel guilty about it. I love reading the part how you spend the quality time with your daughters..cuddling and sharing stories. They sure are memorable.
amy grace - kirsty, your images are always so incredibly striking, so perfect. the places you find, that surround you seem to match your spirit. your daughters will know their mother as a force of nature, as someone who models the drive and hope and optimism that will get them where they dream of going. life gets busy, and sometimes in those times, we find our strength, resourcefulness and independence. they are finding their way with you as their loving guide, showing them their deep beauty. the quiet times in between that you describe are ever the more precious. it is your perfect. keep basking in that stunning light you find. you inspire me xoxo
Ginger Unzueta - Love your letter so much. I adore all of your work really!! I sometimes feel that guilt, of saying just a minute to much at times. But our love is what holds us through it all. Lovely !!!
Sarah Cornish - Oh Kirsty I so admire your honesty and I can relate a million percent! Your words really resonate with me and I know they are going to mean the world to your girls! I think this is one thing all of us mamas can relate to so well! Your images as always are absolutely breath taking. Those little ladies of yours couldn’t be any more gorgeous!!
Sara T - Oh WOW. Those of your girls on the top of the car and your eldest under the tree, the two of them hugging, my favs. I love that you “love them higher than the highest mountain and down again”. It is the best to hear how we express our love in a way they can comprehend. I think it is so lovely to hear about putting your “busies” into perspective and time of year. It is okay that we do have them watching more movies than we would like. And beans and toast? I want that recipe. I’ll bet it’s a good one 🙂 Beautiful, Kirsty.
Lena - I love your letters to the girls! And while I know how busy this time of year is for you (I myself had to resort to the TV more than i care to admit), you are such a wonderful Mom and your girls will have so amazing fond memories of their childhood. And toast and beans for dinner sounds pretty yummy to me! 🙂
shalonda - oooohhhh kirsty! i feel ya mama its def a pretty crazy time of the year…BUT…i love your outlook on it! WHen i quit my “real job” to be a mom i always heard that little ugly voice in my brain saying “but what will your daughters think of you, just staying home?!” then my life took this path and i found photography and i realized just how much they will learn from me and me “just staying home” 🙂 wonderfully said and beautifully finished…as YES THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR SNUGGLES. xoxo sweet friend
Val Spring - Oh Kirsty, you have no idea how identify I feel with this letter! It’s been the same way around here. You know you are not the only one. But what you said is so true. it’s good for them to see how hard you work to help have the lifestyle that you have and it’s ok for them to have to wait or to hear a “not today” every now and then. And as you said, there’s ALWAYS time for some snuggles. 🙂 I just love reading your letters and looking at the gorgeous photos of your sweet girls. Your life is so fun to watch from this side of the world! Thanks for sharing it 🙂
Rashmi - Now I want beans on toast… reminds me of my childhood. 🙂
I love what you wrote Kirsty.. this season is like that for all of us isn’t it? I am going to remember what you said.. that it is GOOD for the girls to see a hard working mum… that sometimes that is okay and they can fend for themselves a little more than usual. Just reading that I let go of a little bit of mom guilt I was feeling myself. I can’t wait to meet you someday.. i feel like we are kindred spirits. xo

rowe - i adore these images of the girls! what beautiful, honest, heartfelt words too… this time of year is such a busy time… mummy guilt is so tough cause its a constant struggle trying to get the balance just right but you are an amazing mum and your girls are so lucky to have a mum who will inspire them to reach for the stars! if you work hard, anything is possible! i really love this project! rowe x

shalonda - “believe that life is good, because it IS” what an incredibly powerful bundle of lessons all summed up into one. and what a beautiful way to celebrate LIFE sweet friend xoxo
amy grace - oh kirsty, in these few paragraphs, and these other-worldly beautiful pictures, i feel like i just got a tiny glimpse into the warm light of your soul. tears are flowing and love is sent to you, and your brave soul. your openness and kindness is infused in every word. you are so lucky to be matched together. i feel it an honor to read what you’ve shared.
Sarah c - Oh sweet love!!! I’m in tears!! This is amazing sweety! The sentiments, the photos. What a treasure for your girls! I am so sorry for your loss!! 🙁 life’s lessons can be devastatingly hard! 🙁
Debbie Wibowo - Kristy…your letter is just wonderful. As I am reading your letter, I can’t stop nodding my head, agreeing to what you wrote. Your photography is also beautiful with all the different angles and pov. I can’t wait to see your next post.
jaime lackey - oh my goodness. such a sad letter with such a beautiful lesson. one that everyone she hear. i am so sorry for your loss but so thankful for what it has made you and will make your girls! xoxoxo
Amy Lucy Lockheart - Oh Kirsty, I think this might be my favorite letter of yours…I can just feel the emotion in every word you wrote. You, my friend, are someone who lives life to the fullest and I see you instilling that important lesson in your girls everyday. Your words ring so true and are a great reminder of how life should be treasured. Your images are stunning. xoxo
Sara T - I love your wisdom and that you marked the occasion of this letter with a sad and tragic memory and anniversary. That is okay to mourn and through the mourning, remembering and sadness life is SO MUCH clearer, sharp and succinct. I love your teachings and “life lessons”. I don’t think we learn how to dream enough. You are a true worldly inspiration and no doubt your babes will learn so much from you. Beautiful imagery, as always.
Kati - With tears in my eyes you said it best hon. Cheers to living life full speed ahead. xx

Letters to my Daughters | September 2012

09.25.12

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…

Show Hide 9 comments

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

Sarah C - Oh Kristy! I love love your instagram photos of your girls. They are absolutely beautiful!! Honestly iPhone snaps have become a staple in our life because its really freed up so much time not having to lug our equipment around and being able to really snap and share images of our family with the people we care about. I can only imagine what a special time this month must be for you. Christmas time was similar for us for years and years when my husband worked 60-70 hours a week and we got extra time with them and Christmas break with our littles. Thank you so much for sharing something so sweet and precious to you with us all!! You just have the most beautiful girls!
Julia - Being an avid iphoeographer myself, I absolutely love that you have shared your images here! You have captured the feeling of the summer so perfectly, Kirsty; your talent and amazing eye transcend professional equipment.
Emma Wood - Oh those beautiful beautiful instagram pictures! They are so out of this world gorgeous, and your sweet words to top it off. Your posts are always so full of life and love. <3
Val Spring - I just adore to hear about your family and the way your are raising your girls! I think so highly of you and admire the way you mother them! Love the cozy feeling I get when I read your letters, I can just tell what a beautiful family and home you have! Hugs from across the world, my friend!
Tommy - I am a very lucky Baba and husband. xxx
Kati - Lovely as always. I really must do something like this for my children. xxx
Vinita - Very touching Kirsty! Lovely porject and I love reading your letters!
Krista - Amazing! Makes me want an iphone even more.

Ninka - I love these letters Kirsty, your girls will treasure them so much when they are women! Well done for taking the moments to create something so special for them <3 (P.S Bella has that dress, it is one of her favs!)
Jody - Before I even read your first word, I had a smile from ear-to-ear on my face, she really does have a light to her that shines through.

I love how much these letters will mean to our daughters and I’m so happy to be doing this project with you.
Rashmi - How I love that you really see, really know, really hear your daughters Kirsty. You are such a wonderful mummy, they are so lucky to have you. I love that Indy loves lettuce and spinach! She is a beauty.. a petite princess indeed! <3
