Epiphanie!

I have one!  If you don’t and you are looking for a stylish camera bag, it’s the sweetest!  ”Liberating stylish women photographers from the ManBag.” That’s what Epiphanie has to say about them.  Maile is a professional photographer and the genius behind Epiphanie. She like most of us love our cameras and carry them wherever we go but most camera bags are not multi-functional and have zero cuteness factor. She fixed that for us! The choices and colors of the bags were hard to choose from and I went back and forth between the Red Lola and the Turquoise Belle.  I made my decision and LOVE my choice! I have had the bag for a few months now and it’s an absolutely perfect fit.

Hello Box.  Can’t wait to meet you Belle!

Sweet!  Cute little camera tag!

Hello Belle!

I love the details!

Tucked inside was a camera strap. It has a soft cushion inside the strap and is very comfortable sitting on my shoulder or against my chest.

Tucked inside the side pockets of Belle were these cards. Such a sweet surprise and I love the inspirational messages. I carry them around with me as you can see in the photo, the edges are a bit worn.

Here is a look at the inside of the bag. It has one big space in the middle and three smaller spaces on each side. It has cushioned panels that can be removed if needed. There is a zippered pocket in the inside and on the outside there are two large zippered pockets, one on each side of the bag.

I took this with my iPhone so you can see what I can fit to carry around with me. Canon 40D with 24-70 lens and hood. One Canon 430EXII Speedlite flash, Canon 28-135mm lens, Sigma 70-300mm lens, notebook, wallet, makeup bag, and chewing gum! I ordered the bag in May as a Birthday gift to myself and as it was back ordered I received it the first week of June. I have carried it around with me just about everywhere I go. For having it close to three months there are no scuff marks at all and it looks like it just came out of the box. She’s a tough girl!

Here she is in action! This photo was taken by the most awesome Mishelle Lane during our Scott Kelby Marietta Photo Walk.

Epiphanie! Go get yourself one!

It’s all good. ~ Donna

 

Baby Bump – Maternity Shoot

A grand adventure is about to begin.
– Winnie the Pooh

I love taking photos. Love, Love, Love. With that said, I had the honor of taking maternity photos for a lovely close friend. I had such a wonderful time and it was a great learning experience. I used the MCP Quickie Collection Photoshop Actions Set in my editing. I am working hard at learning Photoshop and this action set is such a wonderful help as all I had to do was click a button, play around with opacity and I was good to go.  The frames are included in the set and I love them for web viewing. I have many photos from our morning shoot, but I promised no names, faces or NUDES of her on my blog so here are some favorites I can share….

A great joy is coming soon and we can’t wait to meet him!

It’s all good. ~Donna
