Here are some I took a couple of week ago of two of my 5 month old pups. They kept wanting to run off the bedspread but they finally stopped long enough for me to get a picture. The last picture is of the pups dad, Jazz.
What a good idea, I love the backdrop, and yorkies look so beautiful against red!

Here's another thread with some tips you might find useful. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...aby-101-a.html. I found that adding supplemental lighting in the form of a small office lamp shinning towards Joey eliminates the green/red eye flash. I've read that more than any other thing, having enough light can improve the quality of your pictures dramatically.
