As a photographer, I realized the other day how seldom I'm actually photographed myself! Oh, there are pictures of me for deliberate reasons--new website, wedding, things like that, but in day to day life, I barely exist in photos.
A few weeks ago, I shot a party for online wedding magazine Utterly Engaged and awesome photographer KrisD snagged a few shots of me--I was so excited! Well, as excited as I can be with my hair all curly like that (insert childhood nightmare here).
I am sporting a cover no longer in production, which I LOVE! One of the most fun things about Shootsac is our limited runs of covers. We often do not reorder covers when we run out, so there are lots of opportunities to snag one and make it YOURS! It just means you need to be quick on the trigger when covers are released. If you GET ON OUR MAILING LIST you'll always be first to know when a new cover comes out.

First, a note: IT IS FREE SHIPPING FRIDAY!! If you follow our TWITTER you already know, but I'm reminding you one more time here to check out our twitter for the free shipping code!
Now onto the real post:
Since Shootsac has been in existence, one of our biggest supporters is the lovely Jasmine Star. As we've grown, she has also grown, turning into one of the industry's biggest STARS! Today, we want to wish her luck shooting a LIVE WEDDIng on Creative Live.
Shooting weddings is a LOT of pressure, and I think we can all agree that we feel that pressure on any normal wedding day. Add to that shooting live with thousands of people watching, and the pressure must be through the roof.
Let's all give Jasmine our good thoughts, prayers, and kind words today, and of course, watch along with her at Creative Live!

You hot sweltering month, you! Well, at least you make pretty babies :) Oh August, I have a love/hate relationship with you. You're still summer yet you mean summer is ending. You're a busy month, something new around every corner, but no major holidays--what's up with that!
In any case, I wish a great big cupcake to each and every one of you August babies this month:
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!
