If the puppy will be good, that's not a bad idea.
As for what to wear--ask your girls. You're selling to their age group, right?
I can't decide if I should do a normal picture, or if I should try the puppy thing.
The girls say to use the dog, but my wife isn't sure it'll work.
A) She doesn't listen and may not sit still.
B) She's small, I'm big. We'd either have to do a full body shot, which would be bad or get her up on a table and me behind her. We may bring her and do a couple with and without to see which looks better.
