I was shooting stuff for work...but there was Hallie...and there were Christmas decorations...so whut was I supposed to do!

She was exceptionally silly today. She had me flat on the floor laughing several times. She started out all serious and ready to pose.



Then, for the first time since I got her over 6 years ago, she went into a play bow and BARKED at me! LOL!! I could barely take the shots I was laughing so hard. Not even sure just what it was she was telling me, she's not a big barker, but she sure had a story and she thought she was as funny as I did.


She had to show off her matching bow and ornament...




Then fun with the big red balls! We were cracking each other up with these. We have the same sense of humor. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE this girl?







Critiques welcome! I do have a question, any suggestions on how to take a more pleasing shot of the shiney balls? I took several of ornaments today for other things and of course they mirror everything in the room. I tried using just one strobe and pointed it away from the scene and into a reflector but it didn't look much better in the ball and I couldn't light up Hallie or the background well.
