Kelly Moore Bag

Let me just say, I didn’t think it was possible to love a bag as much as love this new camera bag. I’ve been through several bags and still hadn’t found The One. When I first started my business, I had backpack type camera bag, sure it could hold alot but when I came time…

Abby Grace - The Classic is definitely my next Kelly Moore! I just got the Hobo and I LOVE it. I’m still smitten with my ShootSac, but it is frustrating that it doesn’t stand on its own. I really want to try shooting an actual session with a Kelly- right now I just use my Hobo as my around-town bag whenever I want to tote my camera along.

Valerie Beth - Cute bag! Piper is so cute! :)

KISS Wedding Album

I have been back and forth between which album company to use and finally decided to go with KISS wedding books. They base their business around simplicity. Simple is good. I’ve always been attracted to simple clean lines and KISS provides just that. They have 4 sizes for their albums, lay flat binding so no…

Sabrina - I love KISS! Every other company (no matter how good their products) had too much info and too many choices for me. KISS was a God-send :-)

Behind the Scene

As this year comes to a close I’ve been reading other photographers who have been posting a “Behind the Scenes” blog post. Those are some of my favorite blog posts, they crack me up! I didn’t think I had much behind the scene stuff, but as I looked through my library I was surprised and…
