I am thinking of doing a "Family Portrait" for Christmas this year. Has anyone ever done such a thing? If so, are there any hints I should be aware of? I found this one photographer who will come to the house, and she has different backgrounds or we can use our insides for a background. HOW is she going to get my guys to sit still for a picture?? I thought about keeping them on the hungry side, then rewarding them with kibbles of food when they did good.

Any other suggestions on creating a good picture?
