Oldwolf - thanks for your help (and thank your wife, too).
Great info - I have a flash on my list but hadn't even thought about the knee and elbow pads! Yes, they are a must, as I can't tell you how many times I've walked away with bruises and bumps on me after photography my clients' pets. Excellent suggestion - and an affordable one too!
When you say fast zoom, is an f/2.8 considered fast, or will I need to dig deeeeeeeper into my pockets for a super-expensive lens. Right now I've got 5 lenses, one of which is a 55-250mm, but only f/4 - 5.6, so it is not what one would consider fast. I've also got a 28-75mm f/2.8 so altho it's faster, doesn't have as much reach as the 55-250; still, for pet photography, it offers more reach than a 50mm prime and I wouldn't think you'd need a super zoom to do pet portraiture...no?
