i have been asked to do Christmas photos at a local doggy daycare, where folks can bring in their dog and have a quick session for Christmas cards...proceeds would go to support the local Humane Society...i'm assuming quick sessions - lasting 10 minutes, i'm guessing...

that's the back story...so, if i'm booked fully, with each session lasting 10 minutes, that's 6 dogs an hour...depending on how long they want me to go, could be looking at 24-30 dogs...so, i need some ideas/suggestions on how to handle this: prop suggestions, backdrops (just use a "standard" color like grey, or use a Christmas theme?), etc...since i will probably be moving the dogs in and out pretty quickly, this will have to be a fairly easy setup...

i have backdrop stands, seamless paper, lights...i'd have to order/rent a Christmas themed backdrop if that's suggested....

That many dogs, if it were me I'd probably do a plain background and if the dog will go for it, put a Santa hat on them, or a scarf. Easy, interchangeable, and it's not as likely to get peed upon. :D

thanks, that's sorta what i was thinking...thought maybe make a few "gifts" to include...if they're peed on, swap out new ones...
