THE R-STRAP!! By Black Rapids, ROCKS! http://blackrapid.com

It is a great neck strap, that swivels! So no more regular neck straps that are stationary, this one connects to the tripod screw on the bottom of your camera, and then is free to move along the webbing of the neck strap. I’m not explaining well am I? lol I NEVER DO!!! Just trust me… IT ROCKS!!!

(Jessie G, this is the one that “Ann” used at CPPA!!!) LOVE IT!

see how it took away her “dark color” and evened out any acne?

and my 2nd edit, also with powder:

I LOVE the action on this photo… it makes Reese glow, and helped w/the MASSIVE diaper wrinkles on her tush

Here are some well over due LOVE MY BAG pictures, sent in from 2 WONDERFUL lil customers

 Kellie http://kelliegray.com LOVES her Boho Orchid Kristine bag (and thanks to her wonderful Senior Portrait Model, it’s shown here!

Linda http://sweetonyouphotography.com had her VERY special and precious models show us her TJ Kristine bag, in Pretty Stripes Pink

so, what do ya think?!

I’m looking into having a new JOEY bag made… where the extra padding is standard

The original Joey has pockets on the back of the interior (like the Kristine) but due to the size, I thought side interior pockets (seen on the potential new model) might work better!  

*pictured* my XTI w/50mm attached, 430ex speedlite in pocket, and Tamron 28-75mm in other pocket.   I also had it arranged to hold my 75-300 and 28-75mm, which fit PERFECT!

This new Joey is more ”boxier” then the original… but again, due to the size, I really like how it works for my gear!  And you can see that I kept it a shoulder bag AND/OR back pack… I likie

LEMME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS! Comment on it

TIA! ~Tracy Joy
