London Rainy Day Photo Shoot

Still catching up on some editing work but today I wanted share a few more images that came out of the 10 minute mini photo session I did with Oliver and his friend Alex splashing around in the mud puddles a few weeks ago. After a morning spent inside avoiding some nasty rain storms, I met my friend Emily in the park with her son (who by the way happens to have the most insanely cute British accent even though his mom and dad are also from the states–I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Oliver will pick this up too once he starts school full time, but alas I digress…). Anyway, both boys were fully equipped with rain boots and coat and in search of the most perfect mud puddle. We were only outside for a few minutes before the boys started complaining about being cold/wet/muddy (I was thinking “could this really be my child” since so often my brother and I would literally swim in the mud puddles in our driveway when we were kids) but we still managed to get some great shots! It was a crazy few minutes because it started raining, then the sun popped out, and the dark clouds seemed to start moving in again. There’s some crazy London weather for you! The last one is the photo I used for the submission :)
