A weekend full of friends, is just what this photographer needed.  On Saturday night I hosted a ladies dinner with 11 of my closest friends.  We sat out by the pool, listened to music, drank some wine and really spent some quality time catching up with each other.  I unfortunately did not have my camera handy to catch the laughs.  The next day a few friends stayed and this time little ones were invited, I have a new lens I wanted to play with so I brought the camera out and caught some of the action.
