Loved them all so much ^^ She's an adorable one, and you captured her perfectly in every photo

Thanks, Diz! *wagwags* April's really easy to shoot, though! She's so adorable...it makes it -really- easy to photograph! <3! tha collies

I love this whole set :) I'm curious about your lighting setup if you don't mind me asking.

Glad ya like em! <3

The lighting setup is 2x Alien Bee 800's at full power on gray seamless paper...key light is a Alien Bee 1600 set to about 1/4 power, shooting through a 30x60 softbox. *^^* Basically, this is the setup that I use: http://www.zarias.com/white-seamles.....-1-gear-space/

Pretty simple three-light setup. I've got a couple other flashes that I use handheld when more light is needed in different places. *^^*

That's a pretty nice setup you have there. I've been looking into small studio setups for home as I've grown interested in portraiture recently. At the moment, I'm only working on one off-camera 580EX II with a diffuser, but I'm planning on adding a second one and an umbrella or two to the mix in the future. Thanks for the link :)

Yeah, you can actually get this effect with a pair of flashes & some seamless or a light gray/white backdrop. At least...for headshots. Just set the flash directly behind the model, firing at the backdrop....meter your key light down about 2 stops beneath your backdrop light. *^^*

If you're looking for cheap-ish lights to use...I have couple of Vivitar 285's that work rather well. You could also use somethin' like the old Nikon SB series flashes....everything is done in manual mode, anyways...don't have to have anything fancy.
