This past weekend Todd and I took advantage of a much needed getaway to the beach with our baby boy. Fortunately, it was also a business trip so we'll reap the benefits come tax time next year. A female photogapher's group on Facebook called CeFloFePhos (Central Florida Female Photographers) has two weekend retreats a year and this one was planned for Siesta Key, Florida. Being that this is my favorite beach area, I jumped at the chance.

Todd, Dylan and I went up a day early to get lots of beach time in, especially since this was Dylan's first trip to the beach. He absolutely loved it and we had to pry him from the sand!

There were also lots of shoots planned which I got to attend a couple. Here are a few shots from those including one of Todd and Dylan on the beach as we take portraits of models in wedding dresses.

Bratwurst, German beer songs and alphorns were abound at this company picnic. Held at the German American Association's beer garden, the yummy smells and sounds of Germany filled the air and fed and entertained the lucky guests. Cramer and Rauchegger have been holding their company picnic here for the last few years and they had quite a turnout of guests for this big picnic. I had the fun part of documenting all of the fun and silliness. Thanks for hiring me to document your fun and fabulous picnic Scott and Tom!
