Thanks for the input guys! I am trying to go for a more artsy approach, but am not sure what yet. I don't want to do the typical pose the dog in the middle and take a perfect shot staring at you(not that I don't appreciate that too just am going for something different for myself). I have only had 3 chances to practice so far with studio lights though so lots of experimenting will abound lol. I just got my first muslin today (gray mottled) so have a variety to go with the white seamless. (Run Hallie run!!!)

LOL PC in that bottom one of Hallie an the two paps it looks to me like she is saying "Just...take....the...@!%#!...PICTURE!!!!"
