sweet

 

First of all thanks so much for joining us in our impromptu Share Fest yesterday. We are so appreciative for all your kind words and encouragement. The more sisters the merrier so we are thrilled to welcome any new photographers to our blog!

And now onto what’s next. Our new word for our One Word Project. It’s a sweet one. And I really mean it. Our word is SWEET. And the featured photo above was inspired by T Wool’s image of these scrumptious cookies. She shared with us last month but, the shot fit the word sweet so well that it’s what we used to kick off the new month over on the OWP page. Thanks T Wool for the delicious inspiration!

 

So, why sweet? Because this summer during the BlogHer conference we will be hosting The Shutter Suite at the Sheraton Chicago (July 24, 25, 26) . It'll be the perfect mix of fun, function and most of all sisterhood! The Shutter Suite will be the first official organized Shutter Sisters gathering place so we are pretty darn giddy about it. Our official invite with some more details (like some of our fab sponsors) will be posted right here this week so watch for it! We’ve got a lot of things in store for that weekend and will roll out the plans as we get closer to the date. Until then, you can check out the BlogHer conference info at the BlogHer website to get info, etc.

 

We’d love to hear if you’re planning on attending BlogHer so shout out in the comments today. We know, we know, BlogHer tickets are all sold out. But, if you would like to stop by The Shutter Suite that weekend, we will welcome you with open doors. So, let’s hear it. You coming to the Suite or what?

 

In the meantime, start shooting your sweet shots and add them to our OWP Flickr pool. We can’t wait to see what you’ll be dishing up!

Sold Out! Awe shucks.....that would have been a lot of fun!

Hopefully, there will be more Shutter Sister meet-ups scheduled down the road.

I'm booked for BlogHer (squeeee!) and am anxious to see all there is. I would love to swing by the sweet suite and get cookies. Hopefully you'll have a few of HP's new mini's for us to demo... I've had my eye on one of those! Looking forward to hearing more!
