Hi!

I am a long-time lurker and I've finally got the courage to come out and play (notice no pictures yet though! ) I'm at the beginning stages of opening up my own portrait biz (hope to some day expand to weddings and maybe births too).

I've got a million questions about starting up, so I'm going to just jump in ~ now that I've gotten started.

Oh, and I wanted to say how much inspiration everyone here is. I spend ridiculous amounts of time just admiring everyone's work.


Thanks for reading!

Hey Sam! Welcome to OSP!!! If you are just starting out, you have come to the right place! There's so much information here and the people are great!

BTW, is your last name really Carless??? If so, I really feel for what you must have gone through in middle and high school! My maiden name was Ford, so I understand (kinda)!

Hi Sam,
Welcome to OSP!

Thanks for the welcome!

Yeah Melissa, my last name is really Carless, but I'm new to it ~ I just got married in May. I used to think it was hilarious when we'd drop my hubby's car off at the mechanics...not so much so anymore!

aloha and welcome samantha!
