The Shoot Sac and The Wall Street Journal and VBlogs
Our life this week….
Wow what a whirlwind weekend! We had 2 weddings back to back this weekend and it was crazy! But it was sooo fun!! Both weddings were beautiful as I expected and both families on both sides were so great! The couples were so wonderful to work with!
Thanks Karah and Josh and Susanna and David! Cant wait to edit and present your images! Hope you are having the most wonderful time away!!!
Hey you remember that this spring we went to WPPI in Vegas for the best Photographers Convention ever!? While I was there I kept eyeing this cool booth and I recognized her as Jessica Claire and had heard she was coming out with these cool bags for us photogs. I love an entreprenuer! Well on the last day Mark finally just said, “Why dont you just get it already! lol….well I didnt really want to spend that much but hey… bags are expensive period! So why not carry one you love and reflects more of who you are!?? Soooo this is the cover I chose that best suited me. She has tons of different fabric covers to suit your style.
I finally got mine just in time for this seasons weddings!
The ShootSac
Here is a shot of one like mine from her website
If I can find a pic of me wearing mine in our photographs I will post it up this week sometime. If you are interested in one but just cant justify the cost then this might interest you!
Jessica Claire who is the photographer/designer and inventor of this bag is offering a free one in her little contest. In her own words, “I have in my hands ONE SHOOTSAC. I am going to give it away for free to whoever sends me a photo of their rattiest, ugliest camera bag! I will pick the top ugly bags and take votes on who should get the shootsac. So send in your photos of your horrible old bag, and tell me why you need the shootsac.” Send the emails with the photos to: flamingo@shootsac.com
Big news–there’s another way to win a shootsac! BECKER is also running a contest! Go to his blog and tell him what you’d do for a shootsac and get another chance to win!

For the next few days we will be in the digital darkroom working on the 2 weddings we just shot this weekend so we are going to be busy doing that but in the meantime here is something cool to check out…
Our Niece Chelsea
I got an email from my sister in law Keli who is married to Mark’s brother Jon. Their oldest daughter Chelsea is deaf and she has been vblogging using her signing to communicate with ppl out there in vblog land and the Wall Street Journal picked up on it and interviewed her for an article they were doing..check it out!

That’s awesome. Our family had a deaf foster child, when I was a teenager. So stories like this touch my heart. :heartbeat:
That’s a nice shootsac.
How cool! You go Chelsea!

Can’t wait to see the wedding pics!
Kerri, have you heard from Sara recently? She hasn’t been online in forever. I know she does this now and then, but just wondered if you’ve heard anything.
Blessings,
Paula
darn I just lost my weird camera bag!
Hello, I used to work at the Florida School for the deaf and blind for two years although i don’t work there anymore. I worked in a dorm with deaf children and my brother is deaf as well
I’m so jealous! I want a ShootSac! Looking forward to seeing pictures from your weddings this weekend. Hope they both went well for you. I’m going to be assisting a friend with a wedding this weekend so hopefully I’ll have some new pictures to post soon. I haven’t shot anything other than my boys since May 18th and I miss it!
:goodjob: It was great shooting with all of you on Sunday. Now I know what its like to shoot with SuperMark:fun: and his team of highly skilled Canon shooters! Can’t wait to see the slideshow from both of your weddings.
Thanks! Sarah Dawson shot a lot of the pictures for me wedding. She is wonderful! And I know what you mean about sign language..it gets harder if you don’t use it, just like any language. I like hanging out with my brother so I can practice signing.
Say James….I keep getting knocked of your site because of some plug in issue… : ( but your post was hilarious!
Kerri
Good for Chelsea! I read the WSJ article, and it included other sites that have vlogs (besides UTube). Some of the ASL vlogs are interesting, and some on You Tube or whatever you call it are hilarious, especially the ones advertising a video relay service (the “bad” vrs services are portrayed as so bad to be hilarious!). Love to Chelsea! Love to you guys too, Gerrie
