Personal Vision

Sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Five year old golden retriever Tali enjoys running around with her new, fourth month old sister June. June is a border collie... and the herding instincts show. Tali doesn't seem to mind as long as there's some mud puddles around to run through.

Some friends of mine didn't have the opportunity to take all the couple photos that they wanted during their wedding day, so they contacted me shortly after their wedding to take some additional couple photos.  Lighting setup was two portable speed lights on stands with 7' umbrellas.
