Group Photo Shoot Dates

[xxthat girlxx]

Hey ladies, please pick what date works best for you! Remember, the earlier a date we choose, the more time that leaves for a rain date!

[jessickascarling]

i voted!!! :D i can't wait for this!

[OMGPB]

I don't think I can do the third since my schedule is already written for that day. There is a chance that I'm not working.

I voted for the 10th b/c it was the earliest I could do, but I could also do the two following Saturdays.

Yay!!!


EDIT: Dumb question... Where is this going to be?? That's going to have an impact as well...

[im_so_blue]

are people with additional features welcome to this? :lol:

[jessickascarling]

you could watch, girls only! hehehe

[im_so_blue]

you could watch, girls only! hehehe

hey i am fine with watching... i'll even take the photos for ya :lol:

[jessickascarling]

if you wanna take photos that would actually be realllllly helpful.

[MoN]

Since there are girls coming from Maine and as far south as PA I believe, Its going to be somewhere in the middle which would be either MA or CT. We are open to taking suggestions as to what type of scenery you girls would like for the background; Beach, Woodsy, city-like, etc... Please voice your opinios, or if you know of any great spots let us kno!

[RagDoll]

Voted :)

[snowman87]

hey i am fine with watching... i'll even take the photos for ya :lol:

Should we crash the meet? :lol:

I vote woodsy :)

What's everyone wearing??

[xxthat girlxx]

Seeing that there are SO many of us we should do a couple of different things. Woods/city-ish?

What if we all wore medium-dark jeans, black tops and then had one pink accent (a scarf, a flower in your hair, a belt, shoes....etc.)

[JJ2006WRX]

I like that idea....

Sounds good to me... I'm totally going to get bright pink stilettos... Woods here I come :lol:

[WhtRexGrl]

Boss Lady - do we have any idea yet where this will be? Rick mentioned it might be cool to do it at Purgatory. Its rocky/woods & there is a big enough parking lot for everyone.
:banana:

[xxthat girlxx]

Purgatory is okay. I bet busy on a Saturday! I'll brain storm.

Ed and I got sum really nice pics of the subie at the purg... but now that the weathers getting nice its def gonna be packed on a Sat morning. I wonder if we talk to the park rangers, if they'd be willing to hold the smaller lot in the back for us for a lil bit, We'd have to try and get there earlier though... Anyone wanna make a call? Tell them its for a fundraiser or something :rolleyes:.....

And then for the city like shots we could go up onto the top floor of the parking garage at the tower or the other one downtown...?? We'll just have to pay a few bucks to leave the garage...

But is Worcester, MA reasonable for everyone? I beleive its about 3 hrs from NY and about the same from northern ME, which is pretty central. Let us know peeps....

[SubyFr3ak]

I'd come join to watch and hang out, but my car will be in the shop getting a top secret makeover :D :sarah:

[im_so_blue]

Should we crash the meet? :lol:

dude.... we'll look like 2 paperazi's hiding in the bushes

[RagDoll]

I love the idea of what to wear!!!!!!!! :D Does my pink hair count as a pink accent? HeHeee

Worcester works for me :)

[MoN]

I would say so!! lol

[im_so_blue]

i'll hide in ragdoll christine's car without her looking and i'll use the back of her car as a hide out to take photos from of these shinanigans...... Bryan should be fine back there too.... just gotta keep quiet. and no singing to christines music even if she plays badass tunes! :lol:

[JJ2006WRX]

ok that is a 6 hr drive for me....im up for it....what times are we looking at??? cuz us PA girls might have to come in night before or leaves supppppppeeeerrr early sat??? AND!! are we hanging out that night and doin a girls night or whats the idea??? need to know for plans of drive!!!! PA girls let me know what your thinkin on this idea!!! Im probably furthest away from everyone so I gotta know for leaving times!!!!!

[xxthat girlxx]

Girls can def. come the night before to my place and stay Sat. night as well.

[OMGPB]

I'm about 5 and a half hours, so I'll prolly have to stay over Fri and possibly Sat night as well. From what it sounds like, we're going to try to meet early on Sat morning?

[im_so_blue]

oh shiz bryan we gotta up our game now

*shakes bag of marshmellows and box of gram crackers* whos up for smores! :lol:

[xxthat girlxx]

I think Saturday night should be girls only. I'm feeling like maybe even photoshoot girls only. Except for if we get a make photographer.

Not b/c I don't want guys there, but over all, I think that this experience will be a lot more fun girls only.

Anyone good at "styling hair?" I'm good at makeup. :)

[michellelynn]

april 3rd ftw! :)

i think something involving the water would be an awesome background. we can always all meet up somewhere, drive around and just pick?

[im_so_blue]

i love shooting water!

water always makes a photo amazing.. cause it just gives that forever horizon look and breath taking feel if its by a big lake (like say lake champlain) or by the ocean

if this was out mid west where water stuff is a lil more hard to come by (unless ya hit one of the great lakes) i would say a nice open field with rocky mountains in the background in the distance also adds a nice breath taking aspect

[JJ2006WRX]

The weekend of the 3rd is Easter weekend....not sure about the trip if this is when going to be scheduled....family commitments...not sure if anyone thought about the date....

[xxthat girlxx]

Probably not.... that weekend still works for me, but if people need to start the poll over b/c of this date post so we can get this planned properly.

[MoN]

Hmmm.. I didnt even realize that was easter weekend.....

The only decent water we have around here is Lake Quinsigammond, where there arent too many palces to shoot around it...

No mountains around here either, just lots of random hills... lol....

We could always drive around the lake to see if we can find a decent spot though....

[SubyFr3ak]

Too bad you weren't up in the VT area... the sand bar going out to the islands would be a REALLY good spot... here's a pic of "on the water"

http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v78/53/61/25600515/n25600515_30057342_7838.jpg

[im_so_blue]

yea the sand bar is my all time fav photo shoot spot!

[WhtRexGrl]

My son is older so I'm flexible on the date, but I would prefer the next weekend to give me a little time to get my ride in order.

[RagDoll]

^ +100000

The later the better for me... I'm trying desperately to get tires for my pink wheels on time :lol:

[MoN]

Well the deadline is the 30th, so that would mean only leaving 3 of the dates open for voting and closing the first date of April3rd, which so far is the majority of the vote.... Those of you that voted on the 3rd: Can you do ANY of the later dates?

[erik*a]

I will try to come for this!

[RagDoll]

i'll hide in ragdoll christine's car without her looking and i'll use the back of her car as a hide out to take photos from of these shinanigans...... Bryan should be fine back there too.... just gotta keep quiet. and no singing to christines music even if she plays badass tunes! :lol:

LoL, dork :)

[im_so_blue]

LoL, dork :)

hey what can i say i try :D

[xxthat girlxx]

I'm restarting the poll b/c we didn't realize that the 3rd is the day before Easter. Let's try this again!

[xxthat girlxx]

If you have already voted please PM me your vote so I can fix the poll. Sorry!

[OMGPB]

My internet is acting up so in case you didn't get my pm, I voted for the 10th. But, I'm off all 3 weekends, so whenever is best for everyone else works for me!

[jessickascarling]

what if we went to salisbury beach? and for those traveling, i think you can camp there and it's not that expensive.

http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/salb.htm

if someone wants to help me with hair and make up too, that would be a plus!! i don't even brush my hair so i have no clue how to do hair. :lol: i can bring my own make up though. :)

[im_so_blue]

uh oh girl talk....

*leaves quickly* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[RagDoll]

Re voted :)

Jess I'll help ya out if you want!

Im no good at doing hair either lol....

The beach would be nice but up at salisbury and hampton there is no where to park and be able to get the water in the background. The parking lots are like a half a mile from the beach....

uh oh girl talk....

*leaves quickly* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:rolleyes::lol:

[im_so_blue]

i am a guy when things like

Hair brushes
makeup
lip stick
and feminine hygienic items get thrown into conversations

i am like a deep south red neck stuck in the middle of japan
:confused::confused::confused::confused:

[xxthat girlxx]

Here's the issue with camping. We need good water for showers, good lighting for hair and makeup and electric for blowdriers/straighteners/etc.

I'll do some research.

[xxthat girlxx]

I have updated the votes with the PMs received so far.

[jessickascarling]

sweet. i just think it'd be easier for people to camp after the shoot so they don't have to do all of that in one day. i think an ocean shot would be really good considering we're in new england. i love the ocean!

[MoN]

I think the only place we'd be able to get shots right on the beach around New England would have to be up near you in Maine Jess... And that'd be too far for most of the girls to travel, I personally would'nt mind hanging out up there I love Maine.....

[WhtRexGrl]

As always...I'm down for whatever!

[jessickascarling]

mmmm i know, it WOULD be good to come to my neck of the woods since it is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous right now... i like Wells beach... it's more low key than York. It would be kinda far, but it's only a couple hours from Worcester. muhahah.

[MoN]

lol ya but the PA and NY girls would have a hec of a hike to get up there, thats why MA, CT would be best.... Have we decided on Worcester? Final answers peeps? For those of you that are planning on coming up the day before or staying the day after this would prob be best, considering Sarah has opened up her home for you guys to stay the night and u wont have to be spending $$ on hotels....

[RagDoll]

Worcester sounds like a good universal spot. :)

Just gotta make sure we find a location with a nice backdrop for the photos :) And plenty of room with no other cars & people cluttering it up.

So it looks like April 10th is a win?

[SubyGirl8330]

voted, i promise now that the house stuff is settling down i'll be a better subiegirl :o

I love the idea of what to wear!!!!!!!! :D Does my pink hair count as a pink accent? HeHeee

Worcester works for me :)

yes! if you keep it pink long enough :p

Seeing that there are SO many of us we should do a couple of different things. Woods/city-ish?

the shoot should def be girls only, its a more comfortable setting for those of us who are camera shy... imho

Worcester/the 10th sounds good to me. I'll have to leave after work on Friday (3:30) ish and then drive so I may get in a bit late (10ish).

Anyone else going from western/central ny?

[xxthat girlxx]

voted, i promise now that the house stuff is settling down i'll be a better subiegirl :o

You're alive! Glad to see you posting. Can't wait to see the house!!

[jessickascarling]

i don't know much about worcester so i'm not sure, but is there a place that ISN'T crowded in that area? :lol:

[xxthat girlxx]

I'm a local, we should be okay. I'm going to look for some good spots.

[MoN]

Ya Im PMing u about that Sarah... We need multiple option, considering this is on a Sat many parks and stuff are going to be packed....

[WhtRexGrl]

What about the train station in Worcester by your house Sarah?? The driveway is pretty big & the bldg is interesting. It may not work for everyone but we could probably get a couple good small group shots.

[RagDoll]

yes! if you keep it pink long enough :p

:lol:

[MoN]

Ya they have a garage in the back, we could get up in there... or maybe if we get there early enough we could all line up rigth infront of the station, Should be able to fit about 10 cars in there, or across the rotary from there is a parking lot too, we could get the station in the background..... Def an option!

[WhtRexGrl]

I thought that would be a nice shot - and that bldg is cool looking

[michellelynn]

cant make the 10th weekend :(

[MoN]

cant make the 10th weekend :(

awwww...:(

[EvilSubieGirl]

Can I go???? :confused: and where is this??? :D

[xxthat girlxx]

Sure! And it will be a bunch of different places. We'll post the final verdict this weekend. But the shoot will be on the 10th unless it rains.

[WhtRexGrl]

The train station in Worcester is out - we could have 2 or 3 people get their pics taken quick there but they said we would be in the way of business - we can use the parking garage behind the train station and it overlooks the train station but everyone who wants to go up there will have to pay to park - I think its like $2 or $3 bucks. I'm working on talking to someone there to see if we can get a pass for parking.

Darn, I just spoke to the parking garage manager for the City of Worcester - we can use it, he said that there shouldn't be a problem - but we will all have to pay the $2 on the way out. He also said the garage should be pretty empty on Sat morning - and the roof level should be empty as well. Also, he did mention that everyone should observe the 10 mph speed limit as the turns are sharp...:devil:

[MoN]

Ya Brendon has some hott shots of his BMW up on that garage, they came out very nice, so I think we should def hot that spot. I liked the ones I took too at the glass building garage, but that wil be another buck or two. So everyone should come prepared with some extra cash if we decide do go into these garages.

I cant wait! this is going to be funnn!

[jessickascarling]

i am going to have to pay tolls to get there and everything, i don't reallllly want to pay to have my pics taken. i know it's only a few bucks, but we're trying to buy a house and plan a wedding so this is going to take up most of my extra cash. there are going to be a lot of other girls traveling who are going to have to pay tolls and gas, too. so please keep that in mind when picking a place.

[MoN]

Jess you shouldn't have to pay tolls coming from N.Berwick, its 95 S to 495 S as long as you dont go through boston which is out of the way anyways you shouldnt have to pay tolls...

Does anyone else have a problem spending a few extra bucks on garages?

[jessickascarling]

i'm pretty sure i still had to pay tolls when i went to the swap meet.

[OMGPB]

Does anyone else have a problem spending a few extra bucks on garages?

I'm ok with it, but obviously if we can do it without paying that would be better.

Is there any where else we could go that would work for pictures where we wouldn't have to pay? Unfortunately, I've found that sometimes you have to go a little (or a lot) further out to get the good shots...

Or, if it's a make or break thing, I wouldn't mind pitching in to make it work. Maybe we could all donate to the cause? If a little extra is going to get the best shots, I say do it.

[xxthat girlxx]

I'll do what we can to keep the fees down.

[RagDoll]

So do we have a final date/time/location? :)

[xxthat girlxx]

Final date is 4/10 sorry, I thought I put that somewhere? And location is Worcester, MA. I'll work on getting it posted/put together.

[jessickascarling]

[Sinitron]

I'll be getting the new shop ready for our May 2'nd gig. Y'all are welcome to swing by on that date and say hi :)

[jessickascarling]

[RagDoll]

I dooo! :)

[MoN]

Wooot getting closer!! So did any of you decide if you will be coming down the day before?

O ya and is everyone down w/ the outfit/uniform? Dark Jeans, black top and pink accesory of choice, i think it was?

[OMGPB]

O ya and is everyone down w/ the outfit/uniform? Dark Jeans, black top and pink accesory of choice, i think it was?

I work Friday until 3:30 so if I leave right after work, I should arrive around 9ish?

I'm good with the outfit. Are we going so far as coordinating shoes? Flip flops, sneaks, heels, flats?

[jessickascarling]

I dooo! :)

yay!! where do you wanna meet? in portsmouth/newington? at petco/kmart? or do you wanna meet somewhere else? i'm down for whatever.

[xxthat girlxx]

I'm thinking flip flops/flats will work. Everyone agree?

9ish sounds good. Who else will be coming to my place on Friday?

Also, I'll update the first post. What time does everyone want to meet Saturday morning? 10am at my apt? Then we can do some make-up/hair and get out for the late morning. A lot of the places we want to look are right down the street from where I live.

Your apt sounds good as long as I don't have to park on the hill! Haha. 10 am is good for me, I think we will be about an hour and a half away from portsmouth

[jessickascarling]

Oh ya, and flats are good. What about DC sneaks? I was thinking of wearing those cuz they're pink and white!

[JJ2006WRX]

OK so this is bad news ladies.....my husband who is in the reserves (from when we got out of Active Duty) just got called last night with orders to go on active duty for 60 days starting Mon 4/12...so its looking like I'm not gonna be able to meet up :( :( :( Sorry and all of you have fun and have a GREAT RIDE!!! Hopefully we can all meet up another time!!

[xxthat girlxx]

If people want to wear sneakers they can. We won't be too strict lol. And yo can just park at the bottom of the hill jess. :)

Sorry you can't make it jj.

[WhtRexGrl]

I will be right behind her (lol) thx on the sneaker thing!!

[OMGPB]

My DCs are either green or blue..... No pink. I may wear them anyways. I'm bringing flats too tho.

Not too hot/not too cold for Saturday. Sounds good.

[WhtRexGrl]

awww...your the bomb lady!! Did u get your summers on yet??
How's your class?

[MoN]

Do we have an official count of heads coming yet? It seems not everyone who agreed in the beginning has been keeping up w/ the thread....

[xxthat girlxx]

awww...your the bomb lady!! Did u get your summers on yet??

Spanks! Summers go on tomorrow. Class was AWESOME! I can't wait to show you my logo and get a commpany started!

Do we have an official count of heads coming yet? It seems not everyone who agreed in the beginning has been keeping up w/ the thread....

I agree.

Also: Who needs my address and phone number. Please PM me!

[MoN]

Is our photographer Miss Christine (Rag Doll) still coming? Did you end up finding other photographers as well Sarah?

I have a feeling its only going to be like 5 of us :(

[xxthat girlxx]

I tried to reach a friend who is a photographer but now that there are only 6 of us I'm not too worried. :)

[jessickascarling]

2 people count as a group shot so 6 will still be good!

[RagDoll]

Ladies, I'm sorry but it looks like I won't be able to make it. I kept checking the thread for an official date/specific meeting location, and time so I could make a solid plan... But all the posts are confusing... (sleepovers, camping, someone's house...Worcester...)

I also got into trouble for being unregistered and uninspected today, so driving is iffy :(

So make sure you guys bring cameras or a bf or husband to snap some shots. I'm really sorry guys!

[Lperkins88]

can't wait to see the pics ladies!!!
sorry i couldn't make it =(
i will be making the trip up there for WBM so see you girls then =)

[MoN]

I had so much fun! It was nice hanging out w/ you girls again and meeting Michelle! Hope your drive back goes smooth today.

I cant wait to see the outcome! Are we going to get copies of our pics or are you just going to be posting the best ones?

[WhtRexGrl]

Bump! Hey Mon - r u guys going this Monday?

[OMGPB]

I had a great drive home minus the last half hour. Almost ran out of gas and then realized I didn't have enough $ for tolls and then the stupid ATM was out of order. Funny how we had the conversation about what to do when you don't have enough money. I wrote them a check haha.

I vote for each of us getting a disk with all of the pictures so we can pick our favorites and/or pick if we want to submit any individual shots. Sarah - what do you think? Can you convince Sean to do that?

[xxthat girlxx]

[MoN]
