Have you ever thought about hiring a photographer while you're on family holidays? I actually love the idea, and loving the fact that more and more families have started contacting me to do that today since the session I blogged last June, (check it out here!)

Roeya and her beautiful family were visiting from Saudi, a sort of baby moon before Roeya's twins make their debut in May. We met on a cloudy, chilly morning this past winter. If you know me, you know I'm a lover of sunshine, so I was a bit disappointed by the lack of sunlight in the sky, HOWEVER, I have to say that we made some beautiful photographs and took full advantage of the beautiful clouds in the sky. We never have clouds in the sky that often in Dubai, so when they make an appearance, we have to snap them up like the paparazzi! 

I can't share all the shots from this session, but this one is my favorite! When nature and the universe conspires with you to document a wonderful moment in time.

Welcoming a new family member is always such an exciting experience for everyone in the family. The energy and good vibes, specially with younger ones knowing that they are about to become big brothers or sisters, cannot be mistaken. I was very happy that Lama and Anan decided to hire me as their maternity photographer here in Dubai. The shoot was actually quite special and memorable; the family was closing a chapter and moving on from the house they lived in for eight years, to start a new chapter, with a new baby, in a completely different home. So, it was truly a very special time having them show me around their home, doing their favorite things, hanging out by the pool. It was a cold and cloudy day, so unfortunately, no swimming was involved, but we had a great time nonetheless.

Lama and Anan, thank you for your trust, and I wish you all the best in the coming weeks as your family moves from it's current four members to a beautiful five.
