Kenny Grill, our good friend and FABULOUS photographer sent over this gem of a photo of himself shooting. We love everything about it--the Shootsac, the lighting, and the photo he's shooting!

Got a photo for it? If we use it here on the blog we'll send you a $25 gift code for our store! Just email it at least 850px on the long side to: FLAMINGO@SHOOTSAC.COM!

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!

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

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!!

Shootsac co-founder and Tote and Shoot innovator Keats did quite a bit of globetrotting this year, heading from Egypt to Ireland and Mexico and more! She certainly wasn't going to leave her fancy camera at home during her adventures, and the Tote and Shoot was the perfect way to get her and her gear from place to place!

Check out this letter she wrote about her exciting travels:

You'll also want to make sure to check out the AMAZING PAGE OF FEATURES AND VIEWS OF THE BAG HERE!!!


Tomorrow we'll be showing you how to use the bag to photograph the little adventures you take every day...a little closer to HOME!

Shootsac works hard to SOLVE PROBLEMS for photographers. That's 100% what we are about. You can see this focus on function in our lens bags and our laptop sleeves. It means that we are slow to release new products - but we believe the results are worth the wait.

We knew the world was already filled with camera bags that only sort of worked. So when we were asked by Shootsac owners to create a bag that would also hold a camera -- we worked long and hard to make sure that we were in fact INNOVATING NEW FUNCTIONALITY on your behalf. If we couldn't develop a bag that worked better than what was already out there, solved a real problem for you, or allowed you to shoot in a new way -- then we didn't want to waste your time or ours.

This week, we will be sharing all the ways this bag can be used! No matter if your day includes a shoot, a plane ride, or a trip to the park with your kiddos, this bag is going to change the way you live, and the way you CAPTURE your life!

Introducing the new TOTE ... SHOOT by Shootsac -- proudly rocking' the world's first ever SIDE- LOADING CAMERA pocket.

Over the next few days we are going to teach you all about this new breed of camera bag as well as the revolutionary new side loading camera pocket.
