Reluctant Reindeer

Christmas dog photo

This reindeer just wants some carrots…

My dog, AJ, helped me test out my lights the other day. That pathetic longing in his eyes is for the carrot I am dangling. Yes, my dog loves carrots, like every good reindeer should.

Update…

Over the years since I published this post of my sweet dog helping me test my lights, I have taken many more holiday photos and set up photo backdrops.

Here are a few posts I’ve shared with tips for setting up your photos…

  • How to Make a Party Hat and DIY Photo Booth Props
  • Easy Photography Backdrop with Mini Lights

    My WW is up with some blessings under my tree that really leave me wordless.

    Too cute! He’s such a good dog for sitting there so calmly.

    Very cute! My dog looks at me similarly when I tried to get her posed.

    Awwww! What a cutie! And I can totally see the longing in his eyes for that carrot! LOL. How long did he have to sit there and stare at it? Poor lil’ guy! 😉
