Please Note: In June, I only photograph at this location at sunrise, when the bugs are much less of a problem. As the day warms up, they become overwhelming. By July, the heat helps reduce the bugs, so evening sessions become a good option during July and August. If worried about the bugs during an evening session it is not a bad idea to drive out there to analyze a few days prior to our scheduled session.
