I had the great pleasure of bringing my “spring session Easter chicks” in to Audrey’s preschool class for their spring party on Friday. I am so blessed that Audrey has such a wonderful class – the best ever teachers, great classmates and great moms to help out as well! I have had a blast photographing their events all year long – but this was one of my favorites, so I thought I would share it here… Animals and children compliment each other so well in photography – and I love adding animals because they elicit such natural responses and genuine smiles from the children. This was especially fun because most of the kids had never seen or held a little chick before – so this was new to them. The chicks will be around for the next week for the last of the Spring mini sessions – and when they go to live out their lives on a ranch in Temecula at the end of the week, there will be many tears shed in our house. The kids have loved helping me take care of these chickies and I have loved listening to their sweet chirping as I work (they live in a box under my desk right now). Coming soon – more of the Spring mini sessions featuring the chicks in the flower fields. But for now here is a little tribute to the happiness animals can bring to children:
The little green spots on some of their heads indicate that they were born on St. Patrick’s day!
The runaway chick!
Audrey would take pictures with these guys every day if she could. I wouldn’t even need to bribe her to sit in front of my camera.
