You are such a friendly and lovely family, thanks for visiting. Here is a family photo as preview as well as your video. Will let you know as soon as the proofs are ready.

This wonderful family visited Abu Dhabi during their recent vacation. I loved spending time with them and the two little boy were so super cute. Mommy was my interpreter as the boys could not understand me, but they still were so galant and friendly that we got some gorgeous pictures.
enjoy your full sneak peek, your proofs will be ordered tomorrow and I will upload a gallery somewhere withint the next two days. I am sure that the sunshine images will help ward off the coldish weather you have currently in Kazakhstan.

I was so honoured to take photos of this gorgeous family. They came to Dubai from Kazakstan and decided this visit is the ideal time for family photos. We arranged everything before they came and yesterday they took a taxi from Dubai. I am so glad they made it safe and sound and found it easily too:) The boys were adorable. Since they were russian and did not understand this crazy lady, Mom had to do the most of the explaining.
I loved this one and sharing this one for now. Your video sneak should follow in a week or so.

When a dear friend asked me some time ago whether I can take pictures of the homescholers I couldn’t wait to meet them all. I have the utmost admiration for these moms and dads that do all those research and work so hard to teach their children all about everything. Even subjects I hated as a child.
Belief it or not I am a numbers girl and you could give me mathematics and accountancy and economics any day but please spare me the languages. I also had a sincere despise for things like history (even though I aced it when I took it) and biology. Science I once remembered the teacher told me my final year “Brunilda, I think you need a priest to come say the last rites on your grades”. Haha I had such a bad year mark and then a genius hit in the exams that the school board completely ignored my yearmark and gave me the exam mark as final mark, that I promise is the only way I could walk away with a B.
Anyway, enough about my boring school. These children were all in such great spirits I do belief they have a much more fun school environment. This blog post is super long as I am showing a picture of each child and family unit that wanted to be included in the sneak peek.
First two brothers and a sister. Since its my dear friends children I feel safe saying they are super silly and I love it!
The oldest brother
then came middle brother
and little sister, a young lady.
Next family has the most adorable little girls imaginable. So super sweet and dare I say big sister is a natural model, loving the camera, so beautiful.
Big sister
and sweet baby sister.
Another family of three. There are others of them together but this one is just so quirky and fun I had to share it.
Older brother is a bit serious, I love his calmness.
Sister is just gorgeous
And little brother were a little unsure about the whole thing after he fell asleep in the car on the way, but we did manage to catch a few smiles.
Two boys this time. I could see how much fun these two have together. Always eager to climb the trees or leaning in for a hug for the photo.
Big brother
and little brother.
Last family came all co-ordinated, I am crazy about their outfits, work so well against the greens and blue of the sky. It was already very chilly when it was their session, so when they huddled together I got this photo.
How pretty is she?
Thanks to a love day filled with smiles, laughter and good conversation. Looking forward to the 27th January for the next group of homescholers!

A second baby planner within a month has celebrated her first year. It’s so much fun to see how the little ones grows up. She is amazing too, standing, saying Hi and I think I might have heard a no too:) Still so pretty! Gorgeous little girl.
Today we were extra lucky to also get a few pictures of her brothers too and her grandparents, really special.
Here is a cute little one where she played witht he Santa hat
Two of her in and on the basket.
Grandma and Grandpa was our special guests today. Thank you so much for all the help, holding up greycards and the like:)
Another two of our main model for the day – this time a close up and her playing peek a boo behind a super cute toddler chair.
She had a cake smash too but she would have none to fo with the cake. Brothers were not worried about that at all as they offered to help out with eating cake. Here is a last one for the sneak peek, I sang twinkle twinkle a lot and here she is acting out the words for us…

Forgive me for showing a little more than usual in the slideshow, I love this family so much. My best friends from back when I lived in Dubai and still incredibly special to me. Miss K will always hold a place in my heart because she is Bianca’s “friend-twin” born on the same day, same hospital few doors apart. She is older because my Bianca took her time:)
We headed out to a new park in Al Barsha, Dubai. I have become such a scaredy cat about getting lost in Dubai but luckily Dad were the shaufeur and I just tagged along. When I saw the grasses I knew we would go on an expidition into them. My favorite photo ever were taking in those grasses!
Before I even show the slideshow I have to show the picture I am talking about. I just love it.
This one with mom is super special too. I somehow feel specifially drawn to the pictures of K where she is in her own world, looking away or as if into the future.
Lovely one of her modeling for me by the palm tree. I loved that she would decide she is a princess then I get these sweet smiles, in a blink she would tell me she is a monkey and then I’d get the quirky pics and then here is her model pose:)
Quirky K and a family pic I adore because it just shows so much love and fun between them. (B check out my photoshop here, can you spot it?)
Now for all the rest of the sneak peek in the slideshow. For blog readers, follow this link: From Princess to Monkey - Loved seeing you all again and can’t wait for out visit with the girls and the Grandma’s and Grand dad!

Another family, same location as the previous post, but in the morning and a bit too late in the morning so the bright sun got to us, we’ll definitely be doing a few extra images one afternoon:)
I loved this family, the boys were so energetic, I confess I completely could not keep up. Maybe I should have had sons, maybe all the running would have made me be much more fit:) I adore that the different boys have each their own personality.
Here is your slideshow – blog readers follow this link: Boys, boys, boys - just be yourself, because you each have such a fabulous personality, I enjoyed our time together and seeing you interact with each other.
And here is some of the sneak peek. First one is the whole family
Three little boys all piled on top of each other
And another

I am quite behind in posting blog sneak peeks. Tonight quite a few should be going up. Definitely 2, maybe as much as 4:)
This family came dressed in teal and blues. Love it! My favorite colour is blue and all things blue, I was even married in royal blue! Their session were in the afternoon and the suns golden hues really worked with the blue of the water, blue of their clothes. As usual I got really dity, sand and water and at one stage I remember I was even in the water:)
5 Lovely people – thanks so much for letting me share this time with you. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
First let me share a slideshow of each one I edited. For blog readers, here is the link: Teal slideshow
And now for a few of the sneak peek. The first one I love because of all the teal and blue colours the natural way in which the water just reflected different colours were gorgeous. The two models of course makes the photo of course even more beautiful.
The boy
The middle sister
The little sister
And the whole family
Have to end the sneakpeek with some love between Mommie and the girls.

I couldn’t wait to edit the sneak peek for this session as I knew it was going to be spectacular. 4 Lovely siblings each fabulously pretty/ handsome in their own way. I love that each have a particular look and personality and I sincerely hope we captured it!
The location we chose because it has tremendous versatility but unfortunately no one was prepared for the crowds that come with a holiday:) We took pictures in little pockets of space in between other families:) It was fun though. As usual we sat on sand, grass and the like and pretty soon my reflector was no longer a reflector but rather a handy seat. There are so many that will be edited and your sneak peek is a bit larger too. I felt I couldnt put all the images on the blog post as it would be way too long so I prepared a slideshow of them all (remember this is just the sneak peek).
The eldest sister,
The second eldest
Little sister
and lastly but certainly not least is brother. He gets two because he was in the minority on the day:)

I met up with a beautiful family with 4 daughters. 5 Women in the household and Dad didn’t even seem like he was overpowered. 4 Little girls ranging from 1 to 7 years and each as sweet. It was such a pleasure to work with you.
We had the session at a park and although we started at 4pm the sun already had the golden glow of a sun desperate for sleep:) Amazing how fast the seasons are changing these days, how fast the sun is setting. I still find it strange, even after more than 6 years in the country, that it is “winter” and the early sunsets shows it, but the temperatures can still get to 30C during the day. Lovely.
Here are a few from the session, first the whole family.
A spectacular one of the eldest. Everyone know by now I love the chocolate conversions, and this one I particularly like.
Littlest sister was really good even though she was in her own world at times. So cute, she reminded me a lot of Erika. Here is two pics of her.
Second oldest and what a lovely smile.
Isn’t she cute! Love the grasses
We shouldn’t forget Mom and Dad
And lastly a stunning black and white of the three oldest girls.

Here is just a very short sneak peek (more in your mail) of the more than usual good photos taken during our session on Saturday. I am definitely going to struggle to know which ones to select to edit, there are just so many. The boys were natural in front of the camera. I even got some friendly and fun ones for the little miss..
Here is the whole family (black and white)
The eldest
The middle
The young.
Three gorgeous children. Thanks again for coming.

I had the pleasure to meet a lovely local family on Tuesday evening. This was my first session at night (we started at 9pm) so I was quite excited to see how we could use the dark for some interesting shots. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the cousins. Thanks for all being such good sports and so friendly!
Here are a few sneak peek photos. The first was a peekaboo photo. Peering from behind a column. The black and white gives such depth to the photo that I show the conversion here but the colour version is just as lovely. The blue in her hair and the orange column’s colours work very well together.
The little ones liked the camera too and I had one split second each time to capture the scene before they ran to come see what it looked like on my camera. I adore this one, pure sweetness.
Here we played with the darkness to flood only her in light.
Another gorgeous orange background, its actually their wooden doors that change colour to a vivid colour when lighted differently than usual.
And lastly one of three sisters. The fun we had clearly visible. This is a chocolate black and white version.
