Hey guys! I have been lurking about for a while now and am amazed at the amount of knowledge from all of you here! Ya'll inspire me!

Little bit about me:

- I have been "into" photography for about 8 years now. Seriously for about 2 years.

- I am Mama to 6 great kiddos, between 2 and 9, and wife to their pretty neat Dad!

- I LOVE ice cream and coffee!

- I am ready to do this. I am launching my website and business this summer!

- I am blessed to be given the talent to do something I love so much!

Looking forward to making some friends, and learning a lot! I know there have been a lot of newbies here lately and I want to say thank you for the warm welcome you have extended to them (and hopefully to me)!

Welcome to OSP Lori! You've definitely come to the right place if you want to learn.

Hi...and welcome! I spent a few years in Roanoke when I was a kid. A beautiful place....I remember the Mill Mountain Star. This is a great place to learn..as well as share. Let me know if I can help.

Welcome to OSP! You will love all it has to offer! Lets see, we have 5 kids (9 to 21), my wife Catherine (OSP ShabbyCat) loves ice cream and I love coffee - see we have bunch in common already!! So dont be bashful, jump in have fun, and post some stuff up!!!

Hi, Lori, and welcome to OSP!! Enjoy!

Hello there!!

I'm new too. I have kids too. I like Ice Cream. Pa de coffee...blah!! I figured my kids are old enough that I can put my brain back to good use (have not been using it for 10 years).

Enjoy the OSP ride. I sure am!!

Welcome to OSP. You are going to just love here.

I don't know how people do it. I just had my fourth baby and I can't find time to go potty. Anyone with more kids than me is automatically one of my heroes. Welcome and be prepared to be blown away by all the wonderful talent on here. I have to get my fix everyday.
