Girlies, here’s the thing about me, which I know you already know. I hate being busy. Ugh, that feeling of having to tick things off a list, the running on a hamster wheel trying to keep up with ourselves, or others, and the idea that our productivity is somehow linked to our worth as humans….
In late 2019 a group of female photographers were chatting about how we always encourage our clients to get in the frame. We reassure them of how much their kids love them just the way they are, reminding them they don’t want to be missing from the images of these years of their kids lives,…
This month no travels – just a regular saturday in Abu Dhabi – me and my girls hanging out, going to dancing class and the mall and doing our thing! Early morning – coffee in bed, brought to me by my husband before he set off to work, and then being pounced on for snuggles!!Tickle…
I love having personal photography projects, but I am one of those people who can never commit to do a 365 day photo project – I lose focus and drift off and forget… so when I was chatting about this to my friend Rowe she suggested we do something together and start small, and just…
We’re off and away celebrating Christmas in a land far away – hope everyone is having a fabulous time too and enjoying the holidays Until 2014, love and thanks for a fabulous year, Kirsty xxx
I love the other women that make up this project, but one who makes me nod at her wise words, and makes me laugh with her worldly thoughts is Rashmi – I hope I’ll meet her one day, but until that day I’ll just keep reading her blog… head over there now to read this…
We celebrate Chinese New Year in our household – it’s really important to celebrate with our little Chinese girl, who wouldn’t ever let us forget it!! Yesterday, for Chinese New Years eve the girls got to dress up in their special qipao’s and perform at a CNY dinner – I had such a proud Mummy…
It’s January!!! Here’s to a new year!! And my first Project 10 of the year (go here to find out how it started and how I’m involved with a fabulous group of photographers from around the globe, and here to see last months). I was soooooo lucky to start out my 2012 on a beach…
There is just something so magical about a white Christmas….. I caught these precious moments of snow and sparkle fun during our white Christmas in England last year… sigh….. Hope you’re all getting into the festive spirit, Kirsty xx
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…
Myself and 9 other fabulous group of photographers started a new little personal project last month. It’s a project where we take time each month to shoot for ourselves – to capture our own lives and our own families (something we photographers often neglect when running a business!). This takes me back to capturing…
Some days the perfect sunsets are just too much…. This was just us, down at the beach one afternoon, just the girls jumping in the waves, just me, playing some more with my new toy (my lensbaby!) and each time I play I fall more and more in love… my 2 little sunlit loves, Kirsty…
