When I take pics of my girls I ALWAYS

#1 find a place with good lighting

#2 use a table or chair (something off the ground) When they are up higher it's easier to get their attention

#3 I hold a piece of cheese with mt lips so they are looking at it (by holding it with my lips they are looking just under the lens which will help prevent green/red/orange eye.

#4 if possiable have someone else stand very close to the table and hold them till you are ready to snap.

#5 LOTS and LOTS of praise

When I get my camera out my Lexi will run and jump on the sofa and start posing. (she is my easiest to get pics of) I do not give them cheese any other time than picture time. That way they associate the cheese with my camera and know what is expected.

Hope this helps


#3 is terrific, Im gonna have to try this next time! We always get the green eye.
