Best Laid 🥚 Plans...

'Don't count your chickens 🐤 before their hatched....'

FH viewers know well, that holidays and Lights On Studio go hand in hand.  Photographer Tom Nakielski has shot almost every holiday for the site, but his Easter themed shoots have been some of my favorites.  One of the reasons is that Tom goes all out, even borrowing furry and feathered friends to fit with the theme.


In 2018 Tom brought in Chester the bunny to pose with model Hansel Wellington. (Bright-Eyed and Bushy-Tailed) The following year, he brought in a brood of baby chicks to dance on Benjamin's beautiful backside. (Chick Magnet)  This year, I hear that Tom was looking at using either a duck or a pig.  One of thought after 2019's turkey incident (Tom Turkey) that he might have distanced himself from farm yard critters, but Tom would not be deterred! 

A date was set and a model was booked but a few days before the shoot Tom had an accident.  For Peeps sake!  No Tom didn't trip over a pig or a duck, but he did have a nasty fall that led to a hospital stay and a stint in a rebab for some physical and occupational therapy.  A little birdy, (not a chick) has told me Tom is now home recuperating, so hopefully we'll see new work, with the model he booked, sometime in the future. Get well soon Tom!
