Yes, they are real. Here are a few more pics from the same day. The may who takes the pictures was wonderful. These rabits just sat there on the table and let all the children hold them and never bit or anything. It was a very controlled environment. Only one or two kids allowed in the room at a time so as not to frighten the animals. I got about 10 pictures and it took about 2 minutes to shoot. This guy was really good. The picture of my daughter was taken with her on my lap. I had just sat down and was not aware that he was even taking the pictures yet and he said "I just got a great one". I was truely amazed at the results. I spent about 75 dollars to get the whole shoot on CD with a copy write release so I could print them whenever I want.
