mudpuddles.

A favorite childhood memory of mine..Summer rain, running around with my cousins..catching frogs, collecting tadpoles.

Given this,  if you’re around at our place when it starts to rain, you’ll hear the same old battle begin.. Fun Loving Mother takes on Paranoid Father as to whether running around in the rain is acceptable.   (Being British, he permanently thinks there is either lightning or ten deadly snakes waiting just outside the door).   Yesterday, arming myself with a gaggle of whining, pleading children,  he was clearly defenseless and yay, we got to do this:


5dm2 | 24-70 2.8 | eye candy actions | velveteen | purple haze | softly

I myself got totally soaked whilst finding out that capturing splashes whilst attempting to keep one’s camera dry is an exercise in speed and agility.

Along with the photos, I shot some video footage..something I rarely remember to do but I’d love to get better at.. I thought I’d share a quick snippet of Ivy’s take on the whole puddle jumping concept.   I just love her confusion that they were actually allowed to be out there and the typical toddler inability to share – even mud puddles.

    Ohhh Ivy is totally and utterly scrumptious! She is too too too cute!!! And the boys, precious as well. I loved hearing the voices as well, almost eery, seeing Ivy in such a different and more “real” way. I can finally put a voice to those words. So special! Oh and of course, the pictures are gorgeous, as always! I am in deep love with Eye Candy Actions. I’ve got to add that to my wishlist!

    Sheye,

    I adore these photos! Your boys are so handsome and Ivy is such a beauty. They all look like they are having such a wonderful time! I also love Ivy’s desire to have her own mud puddle! Too funny and very much like something my almost four year old would say! Thanks for sharing your bit of summer fun – it brightened my cold, rainy, winter day here in the states!

  23. Nomayne says:

    Finally, I get to put a voice to a face. I’ve always wondered what you sound like. And the children too! Ivy and my little Hannah have the same voices! Sometimes, she’s so excited, her voice breaks and she sounds like she’s squealing while she’s talking.

  24. Amy P says:

    She is so precious! It looks like you all had the best time in those puddles.

  25. Marjie says:

    Wow its so nice to see Ivy come to life. I cant remember how I found your blog. Whenever I need inspiration I visit your blog.
    I not only admire you as a photographer but as a doting mother as well. I also have 2 beautiful kids I so love and adore.

    Very wonderful.
