Now that we're in the heart of WINTER (albeit a mild one in most parts of the country), I find myself dreaming today about being somewhere warm and sunny with an umbrella in my drink. Of course, in my dream, I'm there because I was hired to shoot an amazing wedding or destination job, and I'm relaxing afterwards, which is why my SHOOTSAC would also be in this dream!
This shot was from December when I flew down to the Cayman Islands to photograph a stunning wedding on the sand. My second shooter Katie snapped this one while we shot a day after session of the couple:
Google sent us this FAB photo of her fiancee Rob striking a pose with his Shootsac on the beach in Punta Cana! So so awesome!
Got a photo of your SHOOTSAC in an amazing location? Send it in to flamingo@shootsac.com--If we post it here, we'll send you the cover of your choice!

HAPPY NEW YEAR: OUR BIGGEST GIVEAWAY EVER BEGINS TODAY!
Happy New Year!! One thing I really love about the New Year is the freshness of everything, like ANYTHING is possible! It's a time to reflect on the past year and see on a bigger scale what was accomplished. Now that the holidays are over, it's the time to focus on what I'd like to accomplish this year and actually MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!!
One thing that Shootsac made happen this past year is finally launching our TOTE AND SHOOT after several years of development. As a company that strives to make products that care as much about function as style, it takes time! But our time is now!
The next step is letting even MORE people know who we are, what we're about, and how we can help them become a better photographer, a more effective traveler, and add style while they're doing it. Which is what leads me to
OUR BIGGEST GIVEAWAY EVER!!
From NOW till JANUARY 15TH, I need PHOTOS of your Tote and Shoot!
Here is what I am looking for
-photos that show the Tote and Shoot in great locations (country, city, jungle, waterfall, anything!!)
-photos that show what's IN your Tote and Shoot
-photos of YOU using your Tote and Shoot
Basically photos that show you, the bag, and your stuff traveling, shooting, and generally having fun!
We will be using your photos on this blog, in our email blasts, in our newsletter, and at WPPI.
If your photo is chosen for one or more of these projects, we will give you a $25 gift card to the Shootsac store!
If your photo is our GRAND PRIZE WINNER, we will give you A HIPSLIP AND A SHOOTSAC WITH A COVER OF YOUR CHOICE!!!
So send in your photos, enter as many times as you want, but BE INTERESTING, FUN, CUTE, AND AWESOME with your photos! Email them as full rez jpegs to flamingo@shootsac.com

YOU CAN STILL GET A SHOOTSAC, HIPSLIP OR TOTE & SHOOT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!
It has come to our attention that some people might be last minute shoppers. We know that you like the pressure, stress, and hair-frazzled running around and waiting in long lines that this causes, but if we may be so bold...this year, may we suggest an alternative?
DELIVERY, FREE, TO YOUR DOOR
But ONLY for the next three days! Click below!

Now, we know stealing isn't nice. But this year, we're giving you permission to feel a little guilty about the CRAZY INSANE deal we have running for the next week ONLY here at Shootsac!
It's our SHOOTSAC GIFT SET: A Shootsac, Shoulder Pad, and cover of your choice shipped to you (in the US) 100% free for the rad price of only $179 (that's the price that a Shootsac is normally all by itself)!
You might notice we have sales on ALL our products right now--the Hipslip, Shootsac and brand spankin' new TOTE AND SHOOT! All of them are shipped free till December 14th, and all of them would look amazing under a Christmas Tree, a Menorah, or a Festivus Pole--your choice! After that, it'll be gift cards only, which are awesome, but you really can't beat one of our bags ready and waiting for your loved one!
Many of you (and I do mean MANY) have one of these babies on the way to their home right now! But for the rest of you who might be thinking, so what can this bag do for ME, I thought it might be fun to share the info sheet that comes along with every Tote and Shoot!
We figured, we all love shooting details so much, why not make a bag CHOCK FULL of little details?!

I've always been the adventurous type. Like Keats, I have a passion for traveling, seeking out new, off the beaten path places, and traveling the road less traveled. But my life is different now than it used to be--let's just say I've got a little more baggage now that I have a BABY (both literally and figuratively)! Basically, my adventures begin at 5:45am and sometimes only take me around my cul-de-sac!
So my dilemma is, what to do with my extra baggage (the literal kind)? Now that I have so many more things to carry, the temptation was there to ditch anything that isn't absolutely 100% necessary...like my professional camera gear. I mean, I don't really need that for family dinners, trips to the playground, and short family outings, right?
The other day, my mother emailed me and asked if I'd bring my camera home for Thanksgiving so I could photograph my brother. Now that I have my Tote and Shoot, instead of my answer being, "I'll think about it", I was able to tell her I wouldn't miss it! Having an EASY way to carry my gear where it won't get in the way of emergency diapers certainly made my decision easier :)
Lucky for me, I'll be able to have the beautiful photos of my family this year that I've been providing other families with for my whole career. As they would say, IT'S ABOUT TIME!!
Here's a little letter I wrote about the past year. CLICK ANYWHERE ON IT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE TOTE AND SHOOT FEATURES!!
