Is there anything more thrilling than doing something OFF LIMITS? Or even better, knowing that there isn’t going to be a consequence in exchange for the thrill?
If I could ditch the consequences, I would likely drive super fast, cut my hair short, spend my life savings on a month long bike vacation across Prince Edward Island, and throw away my cell phone forever.
My crazies are a little more complex.
I can still get a similar thrill watching three girls have PERMISSION to jump in puddles and get muddy. That should hold me over for now 🙂

Awesome! So much energy jumping out of these images.
beautiful. THIS is why we shoot – to catch these expressions. Looks like you all had a wonderful day.
As a seattle girl, I *love* these pictures.
Brooke, currently I only have a 50 mm lens. What lens did you use to get the mud puddle pictures? I am trying to figure out what length I would need to buy so I don’t have to be so “on top of” my subjects. Have heard great things about the 85 and 24-70–did you use either of these in the photos above?
I’ve been waiting for you to post these! Where did you find such great mud puddles? (Ha ha. I’m just kidding. I’ve heard you’ve got a lot of rain lately…) The first one has my heart. I love the jump!
P.S. If you do a month long bike ride accross PEI I want to come. That was a good vacation.
You have a way of capturing my girls and all of their zeal and enthusiasm! That first one? Oh my, it looks like she could actually jump right out of the picture – I love it!!
They are all just killin’ me. The B&W’s are so beautiful… and my little “ducky” looks so precious. Eeee! I love them all!
oh my heck that top one is SO AWESOME!!!!! SO cute!!!!!!!!!!
Sara–these were all taken with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a full frame camera (so its a true 50mm). If you shoot with a cropped sensor camera it (the 50mm) would be roughly equivalent to an 85mm. You’d instead want to shoot with a 35mm. Hope that helps 🙂
Absolutely beautiful, fun, unique and priceless! Great job Brooke!
I love the last, cuddly, under the umbrella picture. What a fun shoot and what DARLING little models. Lovely, lovely.
Inspiring shots! I think I’ll try this with my own girls. Thanks, Brooke!
So, so, so much fun! You captured it perfectly!
Love everything about this post! I loved too that at times someone else also wants to be without their cell for a while, refreshing. Beautiful moments in all of the photos!
