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…

What a cute holiday picture! I need one like that of my cat… if I could get him to sit still long enough for the picture…
Haha, my Boston Terrier LOVES carrots — and he makes such a mess eating them!
Oh such a great pic! LOVE it!
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.

What an awesome photo! Love your sweet doggie!
What an absolutely amazing picture of your dog. So festive!
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! 😉
