As a photographer, I like to provide the perfect portrait -great smile, eyes looking straight at the camera, but my favorites are those that are not posed, a candid shot where I give the child a basic instruction and then watch them react.
In my Easter mini-shoots, the instruction was "go get a chick." I loved the responses. These are the times that I am scared to put down my camera for even a moment, because at any time something can happen.
And something did happen, poop.
This cute chick decided to poop in my sweet niece's hand. As you can see, she wasn't too happy about it. Her response, "This chick pooped in my hand. I don't want a chick that poops."
After viewing this my nephew did not want to come close to any chicks let alone hold one, so we compromised.
He wasn't quite sure about being this close.
My nephew checked out the chick once more and discovered......
This one had pooped too.
Yeah, chicks poop.
But boy were those reactions priceless!
For those of you scheduled for this weekends mini shoots, don't worry the poop just rolls off.
Plus I provide wipes :)
