i found some easter bunnies :)

i've always wanted to do some cute easter bunny portraits... i found this really great family from emmett who let me "borrow" their bunnies instead of purchasing them! (adorable as they are i didn't want to have bunny pets - not with two 85 pound yellow labs around)

what i learned is that adding live animals to a portrait can be TRICKY! some of the subjects LOVED the bunnies. others weren't so sure about them. all in all i think we achieved the desired result! pretty cute!
