2009 Senior Youth National Conference

Ron and I had the incredible opportunity of traveling to St. Pete's Beach, FL for a conference on senior photography. While we didn't get much opportunity to site-see, we did enjoy trying some of the local restaurants in between our 3-4 hour long seminars. We started our trip by flying into Tampa Bay and renting our car. We picked up some friends who flew in from Minnesota and attempted to fit all of our luggage into a Mazda 3. Once we got to the resort we immediately took some pictures of the beach and the gulf coast because we knew that was pretty much the only time we saw the beach the entire trip.

We learned a lot during this trip and came home with several new ideas for backgrounds, poses, and designs. It was great to talk to with photographers from around the country and see what everyone else is doing. And to top it all off, Ron got to eat at his first Waffle House.
