I was sitting in Starbucks this morning with my little girl. We were sipping warm drinks and listening to Christmas music playing… it is coooold outside… it all just combined and hit me like nothing but nostalgia can. I just sat being so thankful for all the holiday seasons I’ve had, all the ones to come. It really is a time of year that makes me the most sappy- so much giving, coziness, beautiful lights twinkling every place you turn and, most importantly, guaranteed time with your loved ones. I know it can be a stressful time of the year as well… I just wish for all of you at least a few moments where you can relish in how amazing this time of the year is and all it represents. Maybe I can help a bit? I have a lovely little arsenal of fun goodies that I am going to start giving out. Some of them can be a present to yourself (cause you deserve it) and some will make fabulous gifts. I am going to try to do one a day- aiming for a 12 Days of Christmas vibe ;). The best way to watch for them though is to follow my twitter (my twitter feeds my FB so you guys over there should get updated too!). I’ll announce each one there! I’ll do the first one today so keep an eye out!!
On a side note, I was featured today over on Evoking You. Really fun blog with lots of great features… have fun checking it out!! :)
annnnd.. the first give away is this beautiful Noel Flower Clip/Brooch from Maya’s Curls.
You can enter several ways… comment below with your favorite Christmas tradition, ‘like’ or comment on this give away on my FB page, retweet it from my twitter or use the Punch Tab link above! This one ends tomorrow at noon… and I’ll put another up soon after. Good luck!!!
cayce wegman: My favorite tradition is opening a small gift on xmas eve and having my family over on xmas day (12.06.2011 06:12pm)
Nataly Harris: Favorite tradition.... almost every night leading up to Christmas, we read a Christmas-themed story by our tree while it is all lit up :) (12.06.2011 08:58pm)
Rachelle: My favorite christmas tradition was opening 2 presents on Christmas Eve...One would always be new PJs!! I do this now with my own children:) (12.06.2011 10:21pm)
Jeramie Ritchie: My favorite tradition is starting the 24th at my mothers house with EVERYONE...cousins, siblings, aunts and uncles and everybody's families and then going into Christmas morning and making my kids wait until everyone is awake to charge into the living room, open gifts, and then have a big breakfast together. (12.07.2011 02:52am)
Janee: We read a Christmas story by the Christmas Tree and eat dinner with the family on Christmas Eve. (12.07.2011 01:09pm)
I am a simple girl. I don’t like to have/store/accumulate more than I need. I don’t like clutter. I don’t like to carry anything but the necessary (I went through two babies and never once carried a diaper bag) ;) So when it comes to photography gear I stay right in line. I shoot two camera bodies/two lenses and that is it. I don’t have or need any more (as a portrait photographer I have found that my 85 and 35 cover my bases and the lack of “needing” more makes my pocket happy). The trick has been finding a bag for what I have. I don’t need anything big or with a lot of compartments since I carry so little but I use grips and find that the smaller bags just don’t cut it. Cue Kelly Moore.
I have been using her hobo bag since she released it and loved the quality and fact that it actually looks like a bag that you would buy at a high end department store. Everything from the material (this vegetarian girl REALLY appreciates quality man made) to the zippers (they NEVER catch) to the magnets (strong & placed perfectly), the bag has been nothing but perfect (& I get tons of compliments carrying it). My gear was just a little too much though and I could never get the zipper closed when everything was put away (dang grips). But then the MiMi arrived…
I LOVE this bag. It is compact, beautiful (the pictures just don’t do the purple justice) and all of my stuff fits perfectly. I love the two handles- makes it look even more purse & less gear like. Not to mention that the pocket in back is just perfect for the iPad!
(two lenses/two bodies with grips... perfect fit!)
So why am I telling you all of this? Well… 1) people ask about my gear all the time so I thought this would be a great place to share ;) and 2) Kelly is giving a bag to one of YOU!! All you have to do is tell me in the comment section which bag you want (tell me color too!) or which bag you already have and why it is so wonderful and I will pick a winner Sunday, August 14th!
I also love that Kelly does little videos about each of her bags (why don’t all manufacturers do this??). Here is her (much better) description of the Mimi…
Kelly Moore Bag: Mimi Bag from kelly clark on Vimeo.
I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer! I am off on another get away… road tripping through Montana & Canada (& getting to see some of my favorite people!!) It reminds me of this quote I saw the other day…
“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.” Yes.
Get out there and enjoy your summer. Enjoy your life :)

Jenni Wise: Ahhh!!! that's the mustard hobo I've been obsessing over since it came out!!!!! It's amazing and I LOVE that color! I've never purchased it because Finley is my main priority these days. I do so much traveling between grandparents these days and all I have is another bag that holds just my lenses. Would be amazing to have this bag that could hold my camera and 2 lenses. That way I'm not lugging around my lens bag, diaper bag and camera all on one shoulder while carrying Finley with my other arm. Did I forget to mention that I live on the 3rd floor of our apartment complex! Oh my goodness, I need/want this!!!!!!! (08.08.2011 05:17am)
Candace: OMG- I have the green B-Hobo bag and love it! But I need more room now :) Would love, love, love the Libby bag in Orange or the Mimi bag in Lavender or Grey! I love them all!! (08.08.2011 05:21am)
Christine Rowan: I adore the lovely kelly boy bag in mustard..Maybe it's the color or maybe its my secret adoration of Annie Hall /Diane Keaton which draws me to men's wear inspired clothing and accessories! Which is why I would picked the boy bag instead of the women's bags, although I do love all of them too! (08.08.2011 05:23am)
Colette Hopkins: I don't have a Kelly Moore bag yet, but I've been wanting one for ages!! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mimi bag in Lavender :) :) :) (08.08.2011 05:26am)

Juanita: Love her bags and want one so desperately. I think I'd choose the gray Mimi, it would be perfect :) (08.08.2011 05:28am)
Mandy: I love the hobos! I would use it daily! (08.08.2011 05:37am)
Rachel Moore: 1. I got married YESTERDAY and this would be the most incredible wedding gift (as a wedding photographer!) 2. My new name is Rachel Moore, so Kelly and I are probably related or something. 3. My lovely canon L series lenses have out grown my Domke bag. juju bag walnut would make me an extremely happy Mrs. moore (08.08.2011 05:46am)
melissa: Lavender Mimi... YES please! :) I think it would really enjoy living with me! Just ask my mustard b-hobo...she's travelled to the Mayan Riviera already...and I must say, she had a fantastic time! She's so ready to have a lavender sibling. ;) (08.08.2011 05:51am)
gina: Girl. I have been drooling over these bags for way way way too long. Praying that I win one somewhere. I would love the gray Mimi. I love your style and miss your face Shannon! Keep rocking it. You are always inspiring. I hope your time in MN was awesome!! Much LOVE! (08.08.2011 06:11am)
maggie: I would *love* the Libby (my sister's name!) in black or the Mimi in Lavender. Still on the hunt for the perfect camera/gear bag and these both look fabulous. Those videos are super, too! (08.08.2011 06:22am)

Elma: It's high time that I be styling with my camera gear! I'm smokin hot when I leave the house - but not with my old dated camera bag.

Emily Szettella: OMG I totally LOVE Kelly Moore Bags! I think the Libby in Grey would be my first choice! (I really love them all) I currently have a Jill-e bag that is smaller and I could really use a "cute" big bag that would hold all my gear! :) (08.08.2011 01:50pm)
Kristin Cook: I would LOVE to have her mustard hobo bag...pretty please! (08.08.2011 02:08pm)
sarah c.: I have the mustard hobo bag which holds my gear perfectly. The quality is amazing; the leather is SOOO soft. The Libby is new since I got my bag a year ago, and I have my eye on that one now! I like that it could hold my laptop as well as baby essentials - seems like a good traveling bag. And that orange is such a WOW color! (08.08.2011 02:14pm)

Then I see your blog post about the KM bags....this was meant to be (for me)! I now have an enormous amount of bag envy for you Shannon! I would love to have the purple mimi especially after watching the video. Wowza!! I'm crossing my fingers & my toes... (08.08.2011 03:08pm)
Sheakorinne: I have the b hobo in gray. The Mimi looks awesome! I would LOVE to win one:) !!! (08.08.2011 03:19pm)
Eric Ferguson: I would love to win the Mimi bag in grey for my wife. She currently has a simple messenger bag for her camera stuff and it's not very useful. I have heard her brag about these Kelly Moore bags before. I would score a bunch of points if I could surprise her with this. (08.08.2011 03:26pm)
Heather Bowser: I would love the orange bag!!! (08.08.2011 03:32pm)

Crystal: I have the classic- but would love a grey hobo for carrying around town or the park!!!! (08.08.2011 03:42pm)
viv: I have the Kelly Moore B-Hobo bag in teal and I absolutely love it. The color is amazing, it is stylish doesn't look like a camera bag at all. Not only is it waterproof, it's roomy and has enough extra pockets for memory cards, cellphone, lens cleaner, wallet and more. The padding keeps my camera and lens safe. Okay I just could go on on and on. I have my eye on the Mimi now....would love it in black. (08.08.2011 03:43pm)
Natalie Taylor: I love the B-Hobo Bag in Heather Grey! I'm trying to find the perfect first camera bag as well! (08.08.2011 03:44pm)
Sarah Ramak: UGH!!!! I LOVED your pictures and the video! I recently FINALLY got my first Kelly Moore Bag (after lusting after them for MONTHS) and I cannot imagine photography life without it. I have the grey Hobo bag but have quickly outgrown it. I would absolutely LOVE to have the exact same bag you just bought: the purple Mimi. Thank you so muc!!! (08.08.2011 03:45pm)
jennifer beitchman: I LOVE Kelly Moore bags. I have the Classic in Pink (SUCH an amazing color!) and the B-Hobo in the Muted Teal, which I coveted forever! But I NEED the Libby! I'm traveling to Europe next month and need ONE bag to hold my camera, lenses, batteries, cards, etc AND my laptop! The Libby is PERFECT! I want it either t (08.08.2011 03:50pm)
Toni Hopper: See, I think the Mimi is meant to be mine! I'm a "meme" and when my granddaughter, approaching her 4th birthday this month, came into my life, my whole approach to shooting changed. She keeps me from being way too serious and we have tons of fun. And for those who don't know, kids pick out what they want to call you...I'm not a grammy, but her Meme. She is definitely the reason I've become a better photographer over the last few years. I've always had a camera in my hand, going way back into childhood. This weekend I started surfing blogs and photo sites and discovered some I didn't know existed. And I thank Shannon Sewell for pointing me in the direction of this site! I would love to have the Mimi in purple 'cause that's Mya's favorite color too. P.S. My website is sorely ignored and needs updating. (08.08.2011 03:56pm)
Toni Hopper: Guess I should finish my coffee first. I was so wrapped up in the video Shannon that I thought I was on Kelly Moore's site. Silly. So that last comment, was directed at you! Yes, I do have my moments. (08.08.2011 03:58pm)
tamsen: i've always loved the classic bag in grey...although it's hard to choose! (08.08.2011 03:58pm)

Stacey B: I love this Mimi bag in lavender...I love the fact that Kelly really thinks about who is using this bag, and not just form and function but the use of color!! (08.08.2011 04:16pm)
Amanda G: Oh, I really NEED the Mimi bag! Love the lavender. The bag I currently carry is WAY too big and its killing me to carry it around. The Mimi would be perfect... (08.08.2011 04:20pm)
Stacey: I LOVE the Hobo in Mustard! It reminds me of a purse I saw over six years ago that I still wish I would have bought! The Hobo is even more perfect than the other bag since it would hold my camera equipment! (08.08.2011 04:21pm)
Sharon: LOVE the Libby in Orange! Although the Sapphire is awesome, too. SO hard to pick. (08.08.2011 04:35pm)
Melissa Mc: I want the brown Classic bag. With 4 kids and a camera, it would be perfect. (08.08.2011 04:35pm)
Ellie A.: Oh Heaven HELP ME.. Ok good thing I am sitting knees get week over Kelly's bags. I daydream about a sweet little Posey bag in Grey. That would be A ROCKING EPIC moment (hmm yeah my kids have changed my vocab. completely) Hope you have an awesome road trip. Thanks for the chance! (08.08.2011 04:35pm)
Sarah Baker: I would LOOOVEEEEE the brown juju bag! Have been craving it for some time now! A friend of mine has it and I can all kinds of envious when I'm around her and see it;) Her bags are absolutely gorgeous!! (08.08.2011 04:35pm)

Rensche Mari: I have the Classic Grey Kelly Moore and bought it just when it came out. I love this bag so much and even use it when I don't shoot! I get so many complements !

Rose: I just loved these bags from the very first time I laid my eyes on them! The hobo [old red/grey] one is my all time favorite. Since I do not carry that much gear around [one camera and maybe 2 lenses], it is perfect. And beautiful, and practical. I so so wish for one, now you made me want it more!! :D Eh, someday! (08.08.2011 04:41pm)

denean: the mimi in that purple *swoon* perfection!! (08.08.2011 04:43pm)
Valentina: I seriously drool every time I look at Kelly Moore bags. Not even kidding. My poor camera, Lilly, is stuck in one of those not so good looking camera bags and she doesn't like it at all.

Rose: I loved the Kelly Moore bags from the very first time I laid my eyes on them. The little sweet hobo [old red/grey] one is my favorite of all time.

(08.08.2011 04:48pm)
Mary Rebecca: I looooove the MiMi bag in Lavendar! It's a great size and such a pretty color. Right now I'm using a bag that isn't really right for me..and isn't actually a camera bag either--would be so excited to use the MiMi bag everyday though :D (08.08.2011 04:48pm)

Jackie: I would LOVE the MiMi bag, but my CFS and arthritis in my hands say I have to go with the classic in purple. Or the grey. Ok the medical thing has nothing to do with the colors, but definitely I can't carry heavy stuff in my hands, but my photography loving husband to be wants to bring his camera everywhere and I'm always worried about keeping it safe so the compromise would be perfection in a beautiful Kelly Moore bag.

I am a student earning my degree in women's counseling, so not only would I love to use the Mimi to carry my notebook, small laptop, and pen's to class, but I would easily use the Mimi for date nights with my husband, dinners with friends, or a trip to the grocery store. Chic! Brilliant! Adorable! Kelly Moore, what a beautiful genius of a woman! (08.08.2011 04:54pm)

Tori gillit: I am so excited about this and sincerely hoping I can win!!! I would absolutely adore having the mustard hobo :) I am a mom, a youth director's wife and a photographer, so I am always on the go and trying to take my camera with me.

I seriously believe the hobo would help me with that :) great giveaway! (08.08.2011 05:13pm)
Janet McK: I have the classic in teal and I LOVE it. :) Makes me look way classier than a bulky black camera bag does when I'm shooting weddings! I would love a hobo as well for something just a bit smaller in heather grey. You + Kelly Moore = awesome :) (08.08.2011 05:14pm)
Barbie Spruill: I have been IN LOVE with the hobo since I heard of these gorgeous bags! I love the walnut though now the muted teal is also tempting me.

Lindzy Rae: I saw the MIMI the other day and just fell in love with the bag. Right now I have the plain ole Canon Bag, it's just ugly and boyish. I am in a house with all boys and I am really digging the girly girl look if anything the real girl can come out of me with my photography.

Alyssa: Kelly Moore bags are amazing! I don't own one but I did meet a wedding photographer who had one, it was the Posey I believe. I was so impressed I had to ask her what kind of bag it was. (Very innovative!) The Mimi is great but I think I want to start with a smaller bag the B-Hobo in brown or black looks like a great start! The video's are great, so informative! Love the quote about making a living! Thanks! (08.09.2011 04:21am)
Mindy: I love the Mimi in black! I really love all the bags but if I had to choose only one I would pick the Mimi... ;) (08.09.2011 04:48am)
Pipi: wow! love them all, especially the Mimi (in any color, but probably black fits most of the outfits) because you can take more lenses with you. it is a perfect bag for events when you wear dress and carrying a big photo bag looks disturbing. You can look chic and still have all the gear with you! love it. I would take it to all the weddings and parties I attend as a photographer. (08.09.2011 06:26am)
Andrea Dee: I would LOVE a Classic KMB bag in muted teal. It is darling. I am always looking for the "perfect bag" and believe I have found it. Plus, my husband would love if I just stopped throwing my camera/lens in my tote bag along with everything else. Fingers Crossed! xo (08.09.2011 07:05am)

Kate: This is my entry if based solely on a random number generator: Mimi in Grey please! This is my entry if based on the possibility of bribery: Dearest, darling Shannon! How are you? Wonderful I hope. How lovely of you to spring a bag out of Kelly's fair hands. I would adore the fabulous new Mimi in grey please - although the colour is restrained and muted, it would bring an inordinate amount of sunshine into my sad, bagless life. Plus I would do cartwheels down the high street if I won, which I would film in your honour and post to YouTube for your personal amusement. And believe me, you would wet yourself laughing because I can barely do a roly poly (forward roll in the UK) let alone a cartwheel. So I would suffer personal injury and great shame to get my grubby mits of the Mimi bag in grey. You are the very best! (Shameless attempt at ingratiation) Ardently, Kate x (08.09.2011 01:14pm)
Danielle: I love these bags - thanks for doing this giveaway! I'd be happy with any of them but my first choices would be the Classic in purple or the Libby in Lavender. My branding color is purple so it would be perfect! :) (08.09.2011 02:01pm)

I get many emails asking me about basics… how I meter, how I white balance, how I shoot in full sun, what do I say to clients when x, y or z… I have to say- I totally remember that time. I remember starting out and wanting to know everything NOW. Staring at images wondering ‘how in the heck…’ or being frustrated that a client was asking or needing something of me that I just didn’t know how to maneuver. It took a good year or two of full time business to get to a point where I finally felt like I knew what in the world I was doing (well, most of the time at least) ;) It would have been fantastic to have a go-to that I could gain all that knowledge from in one place. Lucky for the those just starting out now there are a ton of resources (yeah- I’m going all old school “back when I started out…” (said in my best grandpa voice). My friend Pascale has put together a couple of books that cover ALL of these things. When I read it a few months back it was page after page of “yep… yep” “exactly” “totally true!”. She has summed up all of the things that you need to know when you are starting your business into super reader friendly, enlightening books!
As she explains: “This e-book covers everything you need to know in order to successfully launch and sustain your own photography business. I delve into logo, branding, pricing, technical expertise, marketing, white balance, metering, histograms, finding the light, using reflectors and other tools of the trade, flash, post processing, RAW editing, calibration of your monitor, using actions correctly, business forms, various FAQ’s, composition, preventing burn out, charity work, finding your style, copyright considerations, plenty of links to great articles and other websites and, basically, just a whole lot of SOUND advice. I spent hours upon hours putting this all together and included actual screen shot captures of my editing process with sample images to help illustrate the process for those of you who are very visual (like me). It’s 50 pages chock-full of valuable advice, expertise, images and information.”
And if you aren’t quite at this point she has a fantastic basics book as well- “If you do not yet understand how such things as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length and depth of field work/function then you should get my Basics Beginner Book before getting this e-book.”
You can find her Beginner’s Book here.
& the link to her Nitty Gritty ebook here.
And if you put the discount code ‘SHANNON’ in at checkout you will get $24 off!! Thank you so much Pascale for offering this… I know these will be fabulous resources for all of you starting out!! :)
