Month: December 2016

As this year comes to an end I just wanted to wish every one a Merry Christmas!  I hope Santa was good to you all this year.  I like to think I was very good all year and thats why I got a new Kelly Moore Bag.  Now let me say…I just made a post regarding Kelly Moore Bags.  I have one already and it has def seen better days, I’ve taken it EVERYWHERE with me.  Its been stuffed full of camera stuff, kid stuff, and everything else a mom keeps in her bag and its held up great but its taken a beating.  The last thing I was expecting was a new one…but it wasn’t just any bag.  My bag design is getting replaced by different newer designs so my hubby jumped on it just in time.  Its beautiful, new, smells good 🙂  And where my old one was a mustard yellow, this new bag is a beautiful Green.  Its beyond perfect and I love it so much.

Can you see all that padded room that comes in these bags?  That middle slot holds my camera and a lens on each end as well as my wallet in the front pocket and enough room in the back pocket to hold an iPad mini.  Plus it has tons of storage on the outside.  2 side end pockets, a big zippered back pocket, and 2 front zippered pockets.  Its pretty much fantastical.  If you’d like to check them out they are still having a great sale until the end of the year.  Get yours while you can!

I LOVED all my Christmas Mini sessions this year.  This year I added in my new Olivia Location for quite a few sessions like the Rustic Mini’s and the Story Time Sessions.  I cannot wait until the Olivia House is fully open for the new DT-Photography Studios next year!

I’ll start with the tree farm sessions, most were rained out or rescheduled to the Olivia house location because of super cold weather and little ones…so I only had 1 family this year at the tree farm.  I always love the tree farm sessions, they are some of my favorite of the whole year.

And I also had the Rustic Outdoor sessions at the Olivia House.  They were perfect for those wanting that perfect Christmas Card Photo!

The Story Time Sessions were LOTS of fun and I think all the kids had a great time with them.  I loved seeing them all in their Christmas Pajamas!

I have to say that even this Christmas has been one of my busiest yet!  All these sessions I will savor until next year…

Now this post isn’t like my normal ones, but after asking if you would like some suggestions for holiday gifts I thought “Hey!  Why not!”  Why keep all this great stuff to myself  🙂 Photography gift ideas are great for that special Photographer in your life or just for yourself if you LOVE photography.  Over the years my hubby and friends have gotten me some great stuff and I wanna share that with you!

I’ve found some great items that are all under $25…what could be better than that?  Maybe that they can all be bought on Amazon and if you are a Prime member there is still time to get any of them before Christmas.  You can click on any photo or highlighted word and it will take you straight to the amazon item which I am an affiliate with!

We’ll start with a few of my favorite gifts that I have received in the past couple of years.  One of my long time friends that I met in Germany, Melissa, bought me the cutest camera scarf.  I love it so much and wear it all the time!!

My husband for Christmas last year got me a few camera necklaces…nothing expensive but he loves the fact that I am a photographer and thought it would be a great way to show people what my hobby is.  I have gotten more conversation starters with these necklaces than I have any other ones I wear.

A few things that are really popular right now are the Camera Lens Coffee Cup.  So many people love the fact that you can drink from a cup that looks just like something you would normally be sure to keep drinks away from!  But aside from the Lens Cup there are regular coffee cups with photographer phrases on them along with super cute t-shirts.

Lastly I’m going to share with you a few great camera straps.  Now I know I said I would keep everything under $25  however my very favorite one is a little over.  Below it is another alternative to keep it under $25 so keep scrolling to see those.  I’ve had the Scarf Strap now for 3 years and counting.  It’s super comfy and stylish!

Remember you can click on the photo to take you right to the item and you can even see multiple patterns that they have.  There are so many cute ones!  Below I am linking  another alternative if you don’t want to spend that much on one but want a cuter version than the stock strap that comes with your camera. There are even more stylish simple ones that are perfect for the dude photographers in your life or if you like a more natural look without all the foofoo-ness.

So now that I’ve shared a few things with you that are perfect gift ideas or just things for yourself, I’ll consider doing more of these!  Be sure to comment on the post if you are interested in more ideas from me!  I know that New Years is coming up and who doesn’t like organization?!  I love it but certainly lack it.  Keep an eye out for my  before and after office/desk area in January.
