— -- An 8-day-old baby gave his parents much more than a smile during his newborn photo shoot.

The baby, Pryor, did what many newborns do when not wearing a diaper: go to the bathroom. Only Pryor’s accident was captured on camera and sprayed well beyond what his parents could have imagined.

“Being a mom of three boys, it’s expected but it kind of put us all in shock because of the distance he had,” Pryor’s mom, Farren Carlson, of Greensburg, Indiana, told ABC News. “It seriously went about 10 feet and with him being such a little guy.”

Pryor was born on Feb. 24 and weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces during the photo shoot just days after his birth, according to Carlson, who is herself a professional photographer.

The accident happened at the beginning of the photo shoot, just as Pryor’s dad, Jeff Carlson, came into the picture too.

“Shortly after Dad stepped up, the baby started squirming and he gave us a show ... along with a nice amount of pee that got my lighting stand and floor,” the photographer, Abbie Rogers, told ABC News.

Rogers posted the photo to her Facebook page with the caption, “So....This happened today! In case anyone wants to know what really happens during a newborn session."

Carlson said they all got a good laugh out of the moment.

“We all thought it was hilarious,” she said. “My mom was there helping with my other two boys and we all just kept cracking up about it.”
