If you don't have your email yet with the sale of our BEST SELLING BAROQUE COVER, you should have it shortly! Don't live in the USA? You can go buy from Adorama, our partner who is participating in this months' sale!!
This months' photo is one that Michael Norwood shot of me shooting on the beach wearing Baroque. Michael and I often take turns second shooting for each other on days that we don't have our own weddings, which is an added little bonus for some of our clients! I thought it would be fun to share what I was shooting while Michael snagged that shot of me here today!
Let me just say that I had an easy job that day--this couple was gorgeous, easy to work with, and the light was perfect. Perfect light to me is that golden light about half an hour before the time of sunset on the beach, when the whole world looks warm and glowy.
It absolutely KILLS me when I see a photographer shooting on the beach in this light and using a flash or reflector. The point of lighting devices is to help create the very light that is ALREADY EXISTING NATURALLY at that time, and I feel that my responsibility is to capture it, not interfere with it. Here's a few shots from that session:
No reflector here, Just a little "S" curve in photoshop to bring up their faces which were a little dark since I exposed more for the light in the background
This one was processed with the Boutwells Totally Rad Action "Pool Party" at about 45%
My absolute, hands down favorite, also processed with theTotally Rad Action "Pool Party" at about 25%
The number one complaint we get regarding our monthly SALE blasts is from our INTERNATIONAL customers. They are sad that we don't ship from our website internationally so they are unable to participate in the sales.
THIS MONTH IS DIFFERENT!!
Our partner, Adorama has decided to take inventory of our sale for the month of JUNE!! What does this mean?
1. if you live outside of the US, you should go to Adorama to get your bag/cover this month. they will ship to you wherever you are
2. when you get the email blast, you will be able to click for "international" shipping and be taken right to the place you need to be on the shopping cart
3. you can now show off your shootsac all over the world! Are you living somewhere other than the US? If you participate in this month's promotion, PLEASE let me know and send in photos to flamingo@shootsac.com!
My good friend Beth, while on business in South America, sent us this awesome photo! There's two special things about it: 1. Beth is a new photographer who is using her bag for the first time. She is also one of my bridesmaids :) 2. She is standing in Ecuador on BOTH sides of the equator at the same time! Now, how many people can say that. Check her out:
Shootsac (and Beth) loves animals!
P.S. The sale is coming right around 7:15am PST on Thursday morning and we fully expect to sell out, so you'll need to buy fast!!!

I was just sitting here surfing some of my favorite blogs this morning when I spent some time going back through my good friend JVS's blog, which you can see **HERE**. I saw his posts from some of his past workshops, and spied SHOOTSAC in a lot of them! Can you find the shootsacs in these photos?
This one is very sneaky:

I love Fridays. It's weird that I love Fridays because generally Saturdays are workdays for me, and the reason that most people love Fridays is exactly the opposite! I can't help it though, when a Friday rolls around, images of lazy Saturday mornings in bed, bacon cooking, and long afternoons sipping sweet tea and grilling with friends take over my brain, rendering it impossible to do anything else.
Can you believe it is JUNE already? And halfway through it at that?
I am so so excited to tell you about the BRAND NEW NEWSLETTER shootsac is about to launch! I will be doing a monthly photographer feature, sharing photography tips, and best of all LAUNCHING A NEW COVER EVERY MONTH in the newsletter! I'm so excited about it--it's a new endeavor for us, and we think it will be a huge hit. Leave a comment with a link to your blog if you are a shootsac user that would like to be featured :)
As always, I have a Freaky Photo for you to see today. This one is from Sharon!

Three good things happening today (and one for good luck)!
1. Today is the LAST DAY of our May sale, where you can buy a shootsac and get either of our FLORAL covers absolutely free! You've got about 10 hours left at the time of this posting, so head over to shootsac.com and snag one while you still can!
2. Today is FREAKY FRIDAY!! It's a particularly good one for me personally, which I'll explain in a future post, but for now, here is our good friend Chrystal Beson who thinks her shootsac covers go very well with her bathroom decor (she's right)!
3. It's JUNE!! Happy Birthday to all you JUNE BABIES! We sent you a little something to celebrate and I'll be posting all of your names on Monday. We love you June babies!
Now last but not least, Shootsac had a very special birthday on May 31, our Operations Manager, the super fab, MATT! If you've had a customer service request, been to a tradeshow, or had any dealings with us at all, chances are you've come across Matt. Matt, happy birthday to you!!!
