OMG, that is a beautiful picture. It would make a wonderful Christmas card. LOL, I bet that did take some time to setup. No way would mine lay still with all that neat stuff around to get into.

Treats, or asking him "Do you WANT a treat?!" LOL.... Jackson's just a natural poser though. He kinda just looks at me with the camera in my hand like ugh, here we go again, Mom. Or I'll make a weird noise and sound ridiculous like "Boogabooga!"

The first picture was purely accidental... if only I could get him to smile all the time!

Lol, the trick to that picture was using babies pajamas that had feet in them, Joey wouldn't move in them; I could place him in the bed in any position and he would stay just like I posed him, I did give him a treat after every 5 or 6 pictures and he was a real trooper!

This is the type of picture I was getting before I added the supplemental lighting, note the little green-eyed monster!

Those are wonderful pictures, very dramatic coloring. I love your use of accessories to make the pictures look more festive. That first picture is so perfect; it really does look like he's smiling!

I alway's just say there favorite Words like cookie Etc. When they really don't want to look I take some candy out of the candy bowl LOL it get's there attention.
Having a good camera help's Because it take the picture quicker than they can move.

I love these... you are going to have some amazing Christmas cards. Joey is such a beautiful boy.

I have trained mine that when I make a click noise they get treats, so all i have to do is click and they look at me. They will do almost anything for a treat

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.

Good idea
I have some that like to close their eyes to the flash, so I think some additional lighting would be benificial so I clould eliminate the flash.

I have several backdrops that I use.

These, and the ones in my avatar.

I've also found putting them on a small table helps too.
