One of the pleasures of my Facebook Newsfeed is seeing all the posts from my favourite Photography Blogs and Pages that I have subscribed to. At the moment, being September, they’re filled with gorgeous back to school photography. Always eager to mark milestones, I started this tradition officially last year with my own little people who were more than happy to sit for me while I clicked away this year. Time was brief – minutes to spare before they skipped off for school – but I made haste and took advantage of the early Abu Dhabi golden light streaming in through the balcony windows…
The beginning of a school year really is an exciting time… I remember so many of them from my childhood. New shoes, bags and (generously-sized) uniform, seeing old friends – making new ones – catching up & swapping tales up after what seemed like an endless Summer!
It’s wonderful to experience school again through your own children. For the first time, my two are at the same school this year – no more Nursery! And my youngest is looking SO grown up in his uniform. It’s amazing to compare this year’s back to school photos to last year – Oh how they grow and mature in front of your very eyes!
So allow me the indulgence of a small selection of my two little ones and may I also take the opportunity to wish one & all a fabulous school year for 2015/16.

Hello, my name is Victoria and I am a lifestyle family photographer based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. For me, photography is an essential way to preserve priceless memories and freeze moments in life. Time is all too fleeting and before we know it, the years pass by and we look back and wonder where the time went. We can’t stop time, but maybe – if I had a super power – that is what I’d wish for. Our best chance is to document our lives so we have a window into our past that we can visit whenever we like. I find so much joy in using my skills to create priceless memories for others. It challenges my mind and breathes energy into my soul. I celebrate freezing those moments to capture not only the big picture, but also the beautiful details and time-capsule minutiae, to celebrate the love and connections within family and kinship.
