Hello out there! There have been a few questions about how the new reversible covers work, so I thought I'd make a little video to show you live and in person how to use them! I hope this is helpful! If you like videos and want more of them, let us know in the comments! Topic suggestions of things you'd like to learn about are always welcome too!

For the past year, we've been putting out a newsletter EVERY SINGLE MONTH! These newsletters are strictly for YOU! Each one contains a shooting tip, technique, or description, a snippet of what we're up to here at Shootsac, a cool product or toy that might be interesting to you, and my favorite part, a feature on a FABULOUS photographer! The photographer features are the best because people are just so open about what they're up to, what's worked, what hasn't, and are totally inspirational to me!
One of the things we love to do here at Shootsac® is to SUPPORT photographers! From time to time, we'll give away a bag for a get together, a code for workshop attendees, and other little things to help you share Shootsac with the people who love YOU!
One of our friends is Edmund Prieto who organized a fab get together for a group of photographers that included games, dinner, and of course, a to-die-for dry lake bed desert shootout! The person who won the Shootsac was Daniel Cruz who was so excited to win! Check him out:
Edmund posted this group shot of his photographers.
I spy with my little eye SIX Shootsacs!

This is just a reminder: Your birthday is coming up!
You might say, "No it's not, my birthday just passed" and you would be right. But you would also be wrong because everyone knows that the older we get, the faster those birthdays come right around again!
One of the things we do here at Shootsac® is to celebrate your birthday both with you and for you (hey, we love having 365 birthdays)! We want to know when yours is, so you can shop with us and get a free gift when it's your special month.
It's really really easy, just put your little name and birthday on our **BIRTHDAY LIST**. Seriously, that's it: we'll take care of the rest!

If you're on our MAILING LIST, you already know our big news--we have launched 4 NEW REVERSIBLE COVERS, with a fab summer pattern on one side, and a sweet simple suede on the opposite side. And for the first time, you can choose which side you wear!!
On Jessica's blog yesterday, we asked you to name your favorite, and our lucky winner of a cover of their choice is...
MISTY SMITH! Misty said she loves the Flirtations cover, and it's about time she got a new one after being a Shootasc user for the past three years. Congratulations Misty!
I thought it would be fun to post a few more photos here, along with a little explanation of how the covers work!
First of all, if you didn't know, a Shootsac is a great bag for beach shooting! You can take the lenses what you need, cause we all know there's no easy way to roll a big bag on the beach!
Second, the new reversible covers are so much fun! I love the ability to get to choose which cover I want to rock on any given day--and these patterns make me OH SO HAPPY!
It is SO EASY to reverse the covers! The velcro on and off just like your regular covers, but they have a tab on the top you can fold down to choose which side you want to show! Seriously, it doesn't get any easier than that. And how could it get more adorable?
Pick up a new reversible cover while they last! Just click the photo below to buy--they are on SALE SALE SALE till Sunday, so get 'em while they're hot!

One thing that everyone here at Team Shootsac loves is when we get a Google notification that someone has posted something about us. Good or bad, we want to read and hear your thoughts, because that's how we can grow as a product, a brand, and a company! Our first goal has always been (and will always be), to create products to make you a BETTER photographer!
I'll admit though, we sure do love the good things we read--we email them to each other and look at them often for encouragement. One of the items that really made a splash here is Julie Azcona's review, which I've posted below with kind permission:
From Julie:
On Thursday I had a fun photo shoot with a lovely girl who will be celebrating her 16th birthday in a few days. It was the perfect opportunity for me to finally test my beautiful Shootsac.
I packed my bag with all my stuff for a one hour session. Placed the lenses in each pocket… and I just kept thinking, and a little pocket for you, and a little pocket for you and oh, a little pocket for you. The bag is awesome! I know is not supposed to be a camera bag… but for me it is. I can fit my 7D without the lens in one of the pockets, preferably the middle one in the front. My wallet, keys, lipstick, bottle of water and cell in the back. Perfection!
And the shoulder pad? Oh, it is comfy! Not sure if without it the bag's strap would be as comfortable. The bag itself kinda falls in love with you though. It hugs you comfortably… it gives you space to move. It feels light and flexible. It is the perfect relationship!
The amount of time it took me to change lenses compare to before…. bah! Not comparable… it is 1, 2, DONE! I highly recommend it!

We're starting something NEW and AWESOME, and you will now know it by it's official name: FREE SHIPPING FRIDAY!!!

-ONE random Friday per month, ALL SHIPPING ON ALL US ORDERS will be completely FREE!
-You can only find out which Friday it is by following us on our Twitter or being our Facebook Friend (click the links below). This is ALSO the only way to get that day's code that you'll need to use at checkout
-Any order placed between 6:00AM and Midnight PST on that day will be shipped completely for free!
Shooting weddings is no joke, but when I saw this photo from Natasha Brown on Facebook, I knew there had to be more to the story! I was right, but I'll let Natasha explain this one in her own words :)
NATASHA'S STORY
If you follow me (Natasha) on Twitter, you'll have read the tweet about me feeling a bit like Jack Bauer. Except that I wasn't prepping guns, just cameras and lenses and batteries and memory cards. Not quite as lethal, but still cool nonetheless.
If you follow Aaron on Twitter, you'll have read the tweet about our arsenal for our back-to-back weddings. And he decided to post this lovely picture:
LET ME EXPLAIN.
We do NOT carry guns or weapons to any weddings we shoot. Though since we're in Texas, it probably wouldn't be that much of a surprise to anyone. The only reason why Aaron had his gun was because we were traveling 5 hours away, and he always brings it with him on road trips. You know, in case we get lost or stranded somewhere. It stayed in our hotel room the entire time we were at the wedding, and I guess he thought it would be cool to bust it out for this picture. Oh boys. I guess getting him the camo Shootsac cover egged him on. My bad.
I DID learn, however, that he did bring his pocketknife to the wedding. Aaron would sleep with this knife if I let him. That's how much he loves it. Um, not unless we're sleeping in the jungle, babe. So he keeps it in his pocket during the day, and every night - EVERY FREAKING NIGHT - he takes it out and proclaims his love for his pocketknife. That's how much he loves it. And apparently, it came in handy during the wedding. I guess the groom's brand new socks were sewn together, and his pocketknife came to the rescue.
Just wanted to explain. Now, if only someone could explain the series finale of LOST to me.

BIG BIG NEWS!! This month, we will be launching four new, never before seen COVERS for you! The best part? They have one very special extra feature also...I'm not going to say what it is just yet, but I will say this: You'll be getting more bang for your buck!! Look for them coming right around July 22 :)
Today's feature comes to us from the SKP Girls! That stands for the girls of Sara Knauss Photography. It looks like the girls had their hands full with not one but FOUR couples for this shoot!
I spy with my little eye a fancy schmantzy BAROQUE cover here!
Thanks Sara ... ladies for sending this in to us!

IT'S FINALLY JULY!!! July is the best month to have a birthday. This is for one main reason: This is MY (Jessica's) Birthday Month!! I believe strongly in celebrating a birthday month, and it's become somewhat of a tradition. When I married Jeff, I explained this to him, but he wasn't quite buying it. He told me, "I don't believe in celebrating a birthday MONTH". Can you believe that?! I told him that he needed to respect my beliefs, no matter what his may be :)
So here we are, in July. And so many of you there are! Check ya'll out:
And I want to give a SPECIAL shout out to two groups of people
1. Those of you born on my birthday, July 22: Allison, Charissa, Christine, Dorothy, Elizaveth, Jessica, Jon, Kam, Kimberly, Meri, Paula, Sandra, Sara, Sherial, and Teri
2. Those of you named Jessica, especially Jessica Cernat, who has the same name AND b-day as me!
No matter what day you were born, you're just a *little* bit smarter than everyone else if you see your name above, because you had the good sense to get on our **BIRTHDAY LIST**! If you're not on it, no free gift for you. Don't be like that!
Happy Birthday July!!
