As my friends and family know, "Bunny Week" is my hardest week of the year. Photographing small children is always a challenge, but add in a couple of live animals? Live animals that like to hop, even? But, I must admit, Bunny Week is also one of funnest and funniest. There is nothing like the joy of a little one meeting a furry little friend. Some of them get SO excited!
I've seen squealers, gigglers, and some just in awe- "I get to hold it??" I've seen kids just shake with excitement. I've seen some who just can't stop smiling - like the 5 year old boy I had yesterday, who was really reluctant about the whole thing. He walked into the camera room hiding behind his mom and hanging onto her shirt. But after I gave him a bunny in a basket, he just did not stop smiling! He and his sister were a joy to photograph! And then later in the same afternoon, I made another boy laugh so hard he doubled over cracking up. How can anyone help but laugh, too?
