Hi! I have been on here for a while and never formally introduced myself. I am so glad I found OSP, and everyone here has been so kind and helpful. I started my photography business in 06, and just started doing weddings on my own this year, I LOVE IT. I thought I wouldn't (mostly cuz I'm scared) but it is great. I just became a mommy for the first time, and it is wonderful. My husband is in the military and is gone a lot, which leaves me lots of time to creep around OSP. He is leaving next summer for a year in Afghanistan, so I will definitely be looking for friends if anyone wants to hang out!

Some things to know about me:
i love small details
i rarely use capital letters
i can not spell... at all
my baby bryson is super cute... if i do say so myself :-D (see photo below)
i obsessively check blogs all the time
i eat a lot of chocolate chips
my favorite color is green
im super proud of my husband

I would love to get to know you all, so if you wanna chat, just send me an email :-D

also, I would smile real big for some blog loving... i don't know how to get people to leave comments without begging for it :-D

Hi!

Your blog is so fresh! Love it all!

Welcome and thanks for finally introducing yourself. I really haven't done that yet.

You've got a cutie pie there!!!!

BTW, I'm in Fort Wayne, so not so far from you. Lots of great photogs in Indy to get to know!

I left ya some blog love! Hi!
You do have a super cute baby!

Hey Jessica! Nice to get to talk to you this way now too!

Jessica,
What a cute babe you have there!!! I'm new to photography myself, still learning, but wanted to say hey back! And that I love your work!

I live in Muncie so by all means, if any kind of photo group meet-up gets planned out of this, I'm in!

(what...did someone say Bazbeaux Pizza?? Mmmmmmmm

Welcome (back) Jessica! We hope Matt is doing well.

Btw way Gail, a meet up would be great. You have more in common with Jessica than you know

I say let's DO IT. What would be a good day of the week for everyone? My vote is ... not Saturday!

I don't know..Saturdays are good for me. Anybody else out there? I mean, what else is possibly going on during your weekend?

That's my bingo day!

Oooh..do you use one of those rubber stampers to mark the card?

In all seriousness, I'm free any weeknight. Maybe we could have a meet-up after the 4th of July holidays are over?

Anybody else? What about a Thursday or something? And should I post this in the going places thread? Or would someone else like that responsibility? I always feel like when I start a new thread my head is going to be promptly bitten off for not realizing that it's been posted 347 times before.

This Saturday is good. I'm thinking of ditching my current plans

Well, you are gonna miss out on PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES IF YOU DO!

i'm up for anything :-D

Maybe we should make Jessica be in charge. It'll be a good hazing for her, and you guys are too big of turds* for me to try to plan around.

*Obviously in the best way possible.

haha... i will take that challenge. I say the week of July 21st - 25th. any takers?

I think that'll be fine as long as we decide far enough in advance.

Ahh shoot! Will have to count me out -- that's the week my hubby and I are taking a vacation to San Francisco! I could do the week before or after though!

I like Sarah's idea for a Thursday - would July 17 or July 31 work for any of you? And obviously you guys can still make the week Jessica suggested work - I'll just be bummed to miss y'all!

It's not a party unless Gail's there! The 17th would be better for me, but I could probably make any of those work.

thursdays are the only day I can't but I can do it a different week. Any other day?

What about the 14th, 15th or 16th? Any of those dates work for you Jessica? And where should we meet? I mean, I know I said Bazbeaux, but I'm up for anything. When it comes to food, I don't discriminate!

I can do any of those dates. Bazbeaux sounds good to me :-D

I'm in for any of those!

Okay, to keep this idea moving, how about we say Wednesday, July 16th, 7 o'clock at the Bazbeaux in Broadripple (a little closer for me than downtown, if you all don't mind).

Who's in:
Sarah,
Jessica

Turtles?
Nicole (as in Green?)

Im in. :-D
