Julie,
I use 2 AB 400s set about 10 feet apart and bounced off of 42-inch silver umbrellas set at 6 foot height. I just like the light from the umbrellas better than from my softboxes.

Nothing fancy in terms of exposure. F8 @ 1/200. Let's me concentrate on the subjects.

Best baiter was Sundance sitting just outside of the studio and whining because he wanted to play with Bogart. Bogart wasn't too sure that was a good idea .
