Shannon Michaelis says
I need a Joey because I need a stylish bag to help carry all my accessories on a photo shoot. And who can’t live without a Joey bag?
amy allen says
O.K. I love all of your bags and would take any!!!! I have two children 6 and 3 and love taking pics with my canon rebel. I look at your blog,web-site and etsy just about everyday,have emailed yall with questions and can NEVER make a decision on a bag because they are all cute!!!!!! I would so take any of the “3” because they are all so cute and trendy and I love all the fabrics oh and did I mention my husband is tired of me showing him the different bags and asking his opinion!!!! LOL Amy Allen
Catherine says
Happy Birthday :)!! I really NEED a bag like the Reese bag, because I am a very crafty gal who goes out to “Crafty nights” with my gal friends and don’t have anything to carry my gear in. So I would have to say I would like the Reese bag, as it is a good size and looks like something I would use often. Plus, I could use a treat since a stay at home mom of 3 kids don’t get lots of treats :p!
Hugs,
catherine

Happy Birthday Tracy.
I really need one of the Joey bags. I have wanted one for so long but have been short on money so I havent been able to purchase one. They are the nicest, most stylish bags I have been able to find. I would just love it if I was chosen to receive one of your bags. I get so embarrassed going on photo shoots and not having a nice bag to carry my gear around in. The Joey bag would be perfect!
Thanks for the contest… Im keeping my fingers crossed!
Amie
Nik Weber says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU!!!
Thanks for sharng the birthday excitement with all your readers.
Why would I LOVE a Tracy Joy bag? I have wanted one for months.
I have had an old SLR camera in a plain ugly case. I haven’t wanted to use my camera (partially because I have been spoiled to digital) because the old bag is just not comfortable to carry my gear in. So it has sat there and collected dust…BUT my wonderfully sweet DH has bought me a Digi SLR for Christmas. I am so excited to have it, but now I want a chic bag to carry my gear in. The Joey bag would ideally fill that need. It is big enough to carry the camera and a lens. Then I will be able to just throw my wallet in there and head out on any photographing adventure looking like the chic mom like I like to present.
Enjoy your special day and best wishes for the holidays!!!

nina says
I need a Reese bag because I just got a new digital camera and I have no way to carry it around, which makes it difficult to shoot. And I want to be able to carry other stuff besides just my camera, of course. I love the Reese because it stands on its own.
Adrianne says
Happy Birthday, Tracey!!
I need the Reese to keep all my camera gear organized so I can change lens on the fly. I got the disco’d Joey when you offered it for sale and it’s so comfy and easy to use! I’ve just outgrown it and need a big ‘momma’ to hold everything. It helps that the flaps are so stylish, I feel like a Diva carrying a TJ bag! Thanks for all you do for us mommies and those of us mommies with cameras. 😉
AppleTree says
Happy Birthday! Great way to celebrate.
I need a Kristine bag as I just bought a new DSLR and need a new bag to honor that purchase. My old camera bag was a gift from my husband, but it is a bulky square and not cute at all. Also, the Kristine bag is the looks like it would be comfortable to wear diagonally across the chest, which is what I need when I am shooting outside or carrying my camera on hikes, which is one of my favorite times for pictures. Form, function, and undeniable cuteness, all in one awesome bag.
Thanks for a great giveaway and enjoy your day.
Jennifer Higginbotham says
Happy, Happy Birthday! What an exciting give away! I’ve had my eye on your bags for quite some time but didn’t really need the extra room until now that I’ve added to my camera collection! 🙂 I would LOVE to have one of the Kristine bags to carry my stuff. My current bag is just an old worn out tote that is in much need of being replaced. Crossing my fingers in hopes of winning one of your lovely bags! 😉 Take care!
Caitlin says
Ooh! I really need one because I have an original Joey- small and a bit flimsy (though beautiful and functional!). I am due with my first in April and need to have a bag that can accommodate my photography and my little chick!
Mandi says
First of all, Happy Birthday!! Mine is in 10 days, I’m feeling old!
I have been wanting a Reese bag for a very long time! I have it on my wish list, and I even blogged about it (hoping someone would get the hint). I got my camera bag when I first got my DSLR, and it’s the smallish one with one middle compartment and 2 small side compartments. I was able to fit everything in it (tight, but fit) until I got a new lens. Now I can’t close it or I can’t take everything with me on a shoot. The Reese bag would be perfect and would fit all of my lenses (and camera) in it! Not to mention she’s gorgeous!! The other two are beauties too, but the Reese would meet all my space needs 🙂
Cindy S. says
Happy Birthday Tracy!!!
I got a Joey bag for Christmas….I REALLY wanted the Reese bag, for it’s size, but it wasn’t in the budget. So I need a Reese bag!! LOL! I love the inserts and it looks like it has loads of space for my camera, a sippy cup and some extra diapers 🙂
Shawna Taylor says
Happy birthday Tracy!!
I would love a new Reese bag!! I’ve been drooling over them ever since you first posted about them but haven’t been able to swing getting one yet. I have one of the original Kimberly bags and really love it but would love being able to change out the inserts and have plenty of room for all my photography gear!
Veronica says
Happy Birthday Tracy! I’ll be celebrating my bday on the 16th! 😉
I would LOVE to have a Kristine! I have the older style Reese and a Joey but I need just a tad bit more room. I recently upgraded and I would just have more room for everything with the Kristine…plus be able to carry a couple of diapers and snacks! 😉 It would make a GREAT addition to my TJ collection!
Crystal says
Happy Birthday Tracy!!
I have a Kristine bag already, and while I love having a bag I can tote everything in at once, I have noticed myself getting a bit tired when I’m out walking and shooting, due to the weight of my gear (I’m bad about keeping *everything* together in one bag). I would LOVE to have a Joey, so that I can be forced to decide on just the essentials, both for less weight while shooting, but also to force me to stretch my creativity with the lesser amount of equipment at my reach!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Rachel says
I need a Kristen because december 19th is my bday and that would be a great present!
naomi says
Happy Birthday!!!
I love the versitility of the Kristine bag. With a new baby on the way, it will work great for the camera and a few necesities.
Abby says
I need the Joey bag because my sweet hubby bought me a Nikon D60 for Christmas and I have been eyeing this bag ever since I got my camera about a month ago. (got to love early gifts). I am just a beginner but everyone needs a cute bag!!
Shelby A. says
Oh, I would LOVE one of your bags! I think my favorite is the Kristine; I like that you can wear it comfortably while you’re shooting. I’m just starting a new photography business, and would love one of your bags to help accent my style of photography!
Tori Ryan says
Happy Birthday! I need a Kristine because my current camera bag doesn’t hold my camera and accessories very well. Your bags have been on my Christmas list for a few months but I don’t think I’m getting one.
Kristie says
Happy Birthday! Saggitarians are the best 😉 My birthday is the 19th!
I’ve had my new camera for a week and already it is getting grime marks over the body and dust everywhere because I have to carry it with every day three year old “stuff” – Knickers, Food, Artwork (which always has glitter on it!) and toys. All because the bag I currently have is a handbag with NO compartments at all.
That’s why I think the REECE would be the best choice for me. Stylish, Roomy and a little splash proof on the front with the PVC!
Kristie x
Lauren says
I so need one of your bags because I will be getting a 40D for Christmas. It want it protected from the moment I get it as I will totally baby it! I have been wanting this for 2 YEARS now and I’m finally going to get it.
I really really really hope I win this one!!! I’m believin’!
Julie Belte says
Hi Tracy! Happy Birthday! I already own one of your bags and wallets. (You made me a custom black and white one.) I absolutely love it and so does everyone who sees it. I would love to win a Joey bag for my daughter who is becoming a talented photographer. She is applying to art and design colleges now and we will be getting her a Canon Rebel XTi for graduation (shhh!! – it’s a surprise). She loves my camera bag and it would be great to win one for her to take to college. – Julie
Zane says
My wife had budgeted for a Kristine bag for Christmas this year, but then my brother in law lost his job and she spent the money on toys for his kids instead. This would be a great way to pay her back!
Melissa says
I want a Kristine bag! I love that it has enough space for me to be mom and the family photographer and still pack all my stuff. Also, the changeable flaps satisfy the fabric addict in me. I’ve never won a blog giveaway before- I would be so excited to win this one! Happy birthday!
Chrisi says
OMG!! I absolutely need the JOEY Bag! I am an on-the-go, no fuss kind of mommy but I don’t want to sacrifice style for functionality. I want both cuteness and safe-keeping for my camera and this bag is PERFECT for both! I gotta have it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
JanMary, N Ireland says
I would love to be chosen to win, as since owning my DSLR, I have always wanted a dual purpose bag, that looked more girly than a traditional camera bag.
We are taking the kids to Disney in Paris next year, and a Joey bag would be perfect for my camera and other “stuff” in the Disney parks.
Happy, Happy Birthday from N Ireland.
Aggie says
Happy Birthday!!!! Id love to have a Kristine bag — I ordered a Joey before and it got lost due to my country’s faulty shipping (This was way before mail was registered!). Im a very avid photographer and mommy of a toddler! I need all the help I can get!
kathycot says
Happy Birthday! I so love TJ’s design but unfortunately I still haven’t got one.. maybe you can give me! lol
my friends are so loving their own TJ bags.. can’t wait to have mine too! love the Kristine and Joey!
Aimee Lashley says
Happy Birthday Tracy!!!
I would absolutely LOVE any of your bags, but I particularly LOVE Kristine. I really need one of your bags because I am a very busy mother of 4 and could definitely use some style to go along with my gear. I’m wanting to step it up a notch for 2009 and I think that one of your bags would be exactly what my new D300 needs for our travels.
Caryl says
Happy Birthday to you! I have the Joey bag already where I put my camera essentials and use as a walk around. But I’d love to have the Kristine bag to put all my gear and everything I needed (including my son’s toiletries) whenever we go out of town or have a long trip.
Suzanne says
Happy, happy burpday to you!! I hope and pray for more blessings for you and your family! 🙂
And thanks for this contest too! That is so kind and generous of you. 🙂
Now, why do I need a Tracy Joy bag? I will be turning 30 on the 20th! Yey me! That will be a superly perfect cool bag for a grand birthday gift that I will give myself – a DSLR! Woot! 🙂 A cool camera + a cool Kristine bag= a happy 30 year-old me! 🙂 Aside from that, I love body bags. It’s the most convenient bag to carry around when I go out with a little girl in tow.
Kaje says
happy birthday Tracy! I would love to have my own Joey bag. A friend just purchased one and made me drool even more. I put my Nikon dlsr in an ugly beat-up bag that came with my purchase of the camera. I believe I need more protection for my cam body and lenses, something that a generic bag cannot do. I’ve been wanting to buy my own Joey bag but since I am delivering my first baby in January, and the expenses are piling up, I just need to prioritize first. With the coming baby, I will definitely be needing a more functional camera like TJ Joey. Thanks for running this contest! Happy Holidays, too!
Shannon Nichols says
Happy Birthday!!
I love all your bags! I would have to pick the Kristine bag, as my favorite. For an early Christmas gift my husband bought me a Sony DSLR-A300K, which I love!! But when shopping for a bag to carry it, well I can’t find anything I like, but yours I love.. Plus I would look more stylish if I had one of your bags, when I go out to take pictures!
Judy says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!….hope it’s all you wish for 🙂
My wish is for the Kristine Bag. I recently purchased the Joey Bag as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I can hardly wait to give it to her!!
It will be Perfect for her photography gear.
But…on those shoots where she may need to bring additional ‘stuff’ I know she would enjoy having the Kristine Bag.
I would LOVE to surprise her with both!!
Linsay Cocker says
First off I would like to wish you a VERY HAPPY Birthday. Being a december baby myself I know how hard it is to share the birthday cheer so close to Christmas.
I would love to have one of your bags, I have actually asked for a Joey back for Christmas and I think my mil *may* have ordered me one 😀 to go with my new digital slr :D. I would LOVE to have the Kristine for when I go out on long photo shoots or when traveling with family. We will be driving from Florida to Washington in February for a military move and it would be GREAT to have a nice fun safe way to carry my camera because I know I will be taking TONS of pictures on my trip!
I have been drooling over your bags for 6 months now and I can’t wait to see if I have one under my tree, or my birthday is the 18th so the 17th would be a GREAT day to hear if I was the winner of the contest.
Tiffany Willett says
Happy birthday Tracy 🙂
Well, I have your joey bag and its FABULOUS! I’d love to get a Kristine or a Reese bag for my cousin for her new baby! It would be a wonderful gift for her and since I know how much your bags rock, I think it would be something she would definitely enjoy!
Christina says
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Tracy Joy! Happy Birthday to you! (wow, I actually sing good in print)
I need to win this contest because I need the Joey bag, BAD. I have the Kristine and LOVE it! But I’d like a smaller one for the times when I don’t need to carry all my gear around.
Denise in MN says
Happy Birthday Tracy! I would LOVE to have another Kristine bag. I use mine all the time!
Jodi says
Happy Birthday Tracy!:) I would love love love to have a Reese bag. I have been literally drooling over it since its debut. I probably look at it at least one time everyday, I love that it has a zipper and I just honestly love all of your bags! This is a fabulous contest:) Best wishes for the holiday season and the New Year!
Emily King says
Happy Birthday. This week is my birthday too! I really want the Kristine. My mom is giving me the Joey for Christmas to use when shooting clients. It is going to be perfect for carrying my extra lenses and batteries. However, now I have my eye on the Kristine for everyday use. I have two children (one still in diapers) and I always have my camera. I would love a bag with style. And I love that once we are done with diapers…I still would have a cool bag perfect for my camera.
Tamara Stiles says
I would love to have the new Reese bag. I really need two so that I can use one for a camera bag and one as a diaper bag. I love that these bags have padding to protect your equipment and how roomy they are. Happy Birthday!!!
Pam S says
I LOVE the Reese, but they are all just awesome!
I travel a lot and this would be perfect to store my laptop and samples when I visit scrapbook stores and retreats!
Happy Birthday!
Alicia Piper says
Well Happy early Birthday Tracy… Mama needs a brand new bag!!! I got the joey for my birthday and now i’ve got more equipment and need a bigger bag baby!! so as i love to say pick me pick me pick me LOL!!
Leigh Ann says
Happy Birthday!! How awesome of you to give us a present on YOUR birthday! I would love to win this contest. I need a Joey b/c I need a bag I can slap on my back while I’m shooting. I have been drooling over your bags, but haven’t brought myself to splurge on something for myself. All mamas know how that is!
MelanieJ says
Happy Birthday Tracy!!!
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Kristine bag! And I certainly need one because I am a complete mamarazzi with my camera at my side at all times! I am also starting my own lifestyle photography business and it would be great to show up at a photo session with a stylish camera bag, holding my equipment, to give me a nice put-together look!
Valerie M. says
Oh boy would I be in heaven for a Kristine bag. Not too big and not too little for a mom of 2 boys (16 months and 4 yrs). I started my passion in April and I have been squeezing my stuff in a bag waaaay too small. I will most likely be added to my camera necessities and this would be the perfect bag for me to add my “stuff” and my boys’ things too. I would love to get one so I would feel like my camera and accessories were safe. I am dying for this bag and if I win I will make this little bag sooooo welcome in my home!!! Plus I also live in Illinois and to show off this beauty might get TJ bags some popularity around here *wink
JEssica Boehle says
I love these bags! I need one because I’m so afraid to take my nice camera out and about but with this bag I wouldn’t be!
Jess
Lindsey says
I too have a birthday right around Christmas (20th) and what better gift is there than a great new REESE bag. I love the size (I can fit all my lenses and also my p&s for my son to use when we are out. The zipper on the top is a HUGE plus in my mind. Thank you for this contest and happy birthday to you too.
Sally Clark says
Happy Birthday, Tracy!
O.K. – typical shoot. Throw batteries, memory cards, lenses and camera (thousands of dollars of equipment) into a … Whole Foods reusable cloth bag??? Clunk, clunk, clunk. At the shoot … where’s my battery? where are my memory cards? keys? (Lots of rooting around the bottom of the bag).
Needless to say, I would LOVE a new Kristine bag to stay organized and to keep my equipment clean and safe when on shoots!
And thank you, Tracy. For your kindness and generosity.
Brenda Walker says
Wow, that is an awesome thing for you to give away! I have been seriously trying to decide on a camera bag for about a year. I think that the Joey bag would be perfect for me. I want one that is not bulky and that I can just grab and go with my camera (D80) and snap pictures of my daughter while she is playing. I think the Joey bag would be ideal. Thanks for making such great bags.
Joy T says
First off, Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for an awesome chance to win one of your bags!
I’d love to win a Kristine bag! I’m a complete mamarazzi with 4 kids who does not get treats for herself very often. This would be an awesome present for me!!!
Elle Ticula says
OK!!!! (rubbing palms together and wiggling fingers in air) Why I need a Kirstine bag? The easy answer is because my cool factor would go up by 1000%. The technical answer is because now when I go out on a shoot I carry my duffle bag to carry all the lenses i need or my jounalist bag, which just has all my stuff thrown in together with no organization available. Its never in easy reach so I’m constantly rummaging through my bag to switch lenses or bodies the entire shoot. The brand spankin’ new Kristine bag would just make my life easier on so many levels and make me cool all in one shot, sooooo…. I would love the tracy joy team even more if I got the chance to sport one of their bags!!!!! Lots of love from your fan,
Elle
Jenna Stahl says
First things first…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!! 😉
I recently bought myself the Kristine bag. It’s PERFECT for toting around my camera along with my extra lens, flash and other little necessities. AND it’s totally adorable and NOT your typical black bulky camera bag. I love it so much that I would love love love to get one for my friend that is due to have a baby in early January. I think a Joey bag would be perfect for her and her new little one. Love your stuff…keep up the good work!
Jenna
Tanya says
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Kristine bag for many reasons! It looks very roomy and I love the fact that your bags will fit both the camera and lenses, unlike the competition. That is the feature that perked my interest in your products. And I love that you offer so many AWESOME fabric choices too!. I have been wanting one of these bags for a long time, since I only have a big, bulky backpack camera bag to hold my camera. This is very inconvenient when going to theme parks! I am in dire need of something stylish and roomy for day trips and this bag looks like just the thing for me!
Beth Miller says
Happy Birthday to you! I would love a bag for my gear! I need it cause I love to be hip and get complements on my bags and I get so many complements on the bag I have right now of your’s but it needs updated!
Jenn says
Happy Birthday!!
I need one of these bags because as a photographer and a mother always on the go I need something that is going to be reliable, hold up against everyday use and of course, that looks stunning with no matter what I’m wearing! With a few babies crawling, walking and running around something easy to access and easy to carry is a must for me. I think the TJ bags, any of them, fits the bill for me! I LOVE the Reese because it’s big enough to hold not only my camera, but my favorites lenses AND snacks to keep the little ones happy!!
Emma says
First of all…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I just recently bought a Joey bag and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I have gotten tons of compliments on it and I carry it everywhere…Your bags are so stylish and trendy..(That is why i bought the Joey to try it out)..Now I am looking for more room and would love the Kristine or Reese bag.. they look fabulous as well and more roomy! Every Momma needs a stylish and trendy Tracy Joy bag!!!
Much Love,
~Emma
laura says
I love the Reese bag…and could definitely use it! My husband got me the worst, bulky and ugliest camera bag in the word…and I want something that’s more me :0)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Jen says
Just found your site…Happy be-lated birthday!
I absolutely adore these bags! I recently purchased a dslr after discovering my passion for photography.
I heart photography, design, my husband, my kids, and these bags! {so awesome} I need the Reese bag so I can practice my calisthenics with my shooting finger while carrying my gear with fashion and class! lol
Annie says
I need a Kristine bag because the peer pressure has become unbearable. I’m a slave to popular opinion, what can I say? I like the Kristine because it’s not too big and it’s supa-fly! 😀
Abegail says
Happy, happy, happy birthday Tracy! I wish you and your family more blessings to come!
I need a TJ bag because I’m a photography enthusiast and I often go on trips and photography walks. I am a lomographer so I bring more than one camera with me. And that is why I would love to own a Kristine bag, I think the flap is pretty charming and the pockets inside would be very handy in protecting the cameras I would be bringing when I travel.
Thank you so much for this opportunity to win one of your gorgeous bags! Happy birthday again and happy holidays too!
Nicole Kopicki says
Happy Birthday to You! Thanks for the contest and the chance to win! I do not NEED a camera bag, BUT I would LOVE the chance to have any of your awesome 3. You decide- I carry a SLR body and have 2 lenses, will someday purchase a flash. I do sometimes like to take my little digital too.My fav color is Pink! I received my SLR camera 1 year ago as I was living overseas in China(quite a remote 3rd world portion of the beautiful country) helping out with Orphans after the earthquake and thought I may never return to that part of the world so I needed to take pictures..lots and lots of pictures! After thousands of pictures….I am back in the good ole USA and I want to have the hippiest, most fantabulous camera bag ever so that I can take some amazing photos of our great country and the beautiful faces here! Thank You…Happy Holidays to you and your family!! Cheers, Nicole in Michigan
Briana says
I would love a Reese bag. I have so many lenses and other equipment that I keep outgrowing all my bags. I’m currently using a plain black camera bag and it’s too blah for me! I love the carnival bloom fabric, it’s so bright and cheery. I’ve been sending links to your products to my husband but I don’t think he’s taken the hint well and I doubt I’ll have one under the tree this year. Maybe for my 30th birthday on January 3rd perhaps?
Cindy says
I want one because I’m finally a grown-up photographer 😉
Let me explain…
My husband and I started a small photo business a while back and I’ve always assisted with posing and production on the back-end…don’t get me wrong, I know that’s super-important, but I’ve always been dying TO BE THE ONE HOLDING THE CAMERA! Well, that’s finally started to happen and I’ve been pulling in customers who want ME to shoot their sessions! I am so excited and want SOME STUFF OF MY OWN and WANT TO LOOK UBER-COOL when I show up with my bag (even if I know I’m still a little bit of a dork)! My husband and I have completely different styles (he carries a huge, black, clunky backpak – he’s very into traditional and I want a funky, fun bag that reflects my style). Please, please, please pick me, I feel like such a “big girl” now…AND have a Happy Holiday, either way, lol!
Cindy :))
Taryn Rousseau says
Happy Birthday Tracy!!! (sorry I’m 2 days late). I would LOVE to have a Tracy Joy bag, especially the Reese. I am a stay at home mom of a 16 month boy with my second son due in April. I am definitely one of those moms who is always snapping shots of my little man, I can never have enough. I am also just getting my photography business started and purchasing more lenses and equipment. Right now all of my equipment is overflowing my current bag. The Reese bag would be the perfect (and stylish) way to carry all of my equipment and any baby essentials I may need 🙂 Thanks for offering this wonderful contest.
Tyra says
I NEED one of your bags! I have been swooning over them for months, I would pick either the joey or the bigger kristine. I can’t decide…………you can pick for me! I am a photographer and mommy of 3 little ones, I shoot with a Nikon D300 and speedlight. With 3 lenses. I like compact bags…….hope you know which one will work best for me! LOVE your stuff!
Jill Phillips says
Happy Birthday! Thank for the opportunity to win one of your fabulous bags! I have been eyeballing them but just can’t afford the splurge right now. I am new to photography and shoot with a Nikon D80. I recently purchased a small tripod and a few other accessories and I have no way to carry all of my equipment without it flopping around. Right now I just shove what I can in my purse and the rest litters the front seat of my car. I need help carrying it to a location. Not exactly and ideal situation. I am also a new mom and love that this bag can double as a diaper bag!! I never purchased one when my son was born and shove his things into whatever bag is close before I fly out the door. I would love the opportunity to carry the KRISTINE bag. Not only does it fully fit my needs (and then some) but you have named it after my very best friend, Kristine (in my mind anyway). She is one of my favorite people in the entire world! I would be honored to not only carry one of your bags but to carry a bag that carries her name.
Thank you so much,
Jill
Suh says
First of all, Happy Birthday Tracy !
I´ll need a Reese bag when I fly to Japan to visit my family (I live in Germany). I guess the Reese bag is big enough for my camera and presents for my family and safty for the passport, flght tickt !
I´m sure that japanese women will love your bag and ask how to get it!
I wish you and your staff wonderful christmas holidays !
Jennifer M. says
Happy Birthday to you! How kind to give a gift. Since I already have a Joey and Kristine, I think I would like to try the reese if I were lucky enough to win. Thank you so much!
Rachel V says
Your camera bags are the cutest! I totally need a camera bag. I’d love the Joey. As of right now, my camera sits on my counter, next to my keys. When I take it out with me, it gets wrapped up in a blanket and set inside the diaper bag. Crazy, right?! It’s actually embarrassing and I debated whether or not to even post it, but thought I couldn’t pass up the chance to win one.
Happy Birthday!
Alison says
I had a gorgeous TJ bag, and a Gorgeous Maddie flap! It and most of my gear has had to be sold off for financial reasons so I am down to one camera, one lens and NO bag *cry* I am starting college next month and struggling for funds! Being a mom of 6 and my husband being the only income is ROUGH! So high ho, high ho, its off to school I go 🙂 I plan on building my gear up as funds allow and would LOVE a new TJ bag to store all of my precious cargo in!I would be thrilled to show up to any shoot in style!
Heather says
I need a bag because they are absolutely beautiful, my current camera bag is just boring black, and it would be an awesome birthday gift to myself! (Also a December birthday!)
My favorite is the Kristine bag in boho orchid!
Meredith says
I want a Kristine bag! I like all the colors and since I can change the flaps I won’t need to buy new bags all the time. All the bags are fantastic.
Happy birthday, by the way!
Lisa Dozier says
1. I would love to have one of your bags to put my new Christmas present in! I am getting a D80 and 2 lenses and they need a home! Your bags are awesome! 2. I am not sure but I love the size of the Kristine- perfect size, a place for everything! Merry Christmas!
Tracey Skadberg says
Wishing you a very happy birthday!!!
I need a Reese bag! Why? I have a new little bundle due to arrive in March! I thought about using my lovely Kristine bag, but I can’t give it up since I love it for my camera, and I’ll be using that camera when the baby arrives.
I love the name of the Reese bag. My 1st born is named Helena Reese!!!

I am absolutely in love the the Kristen bag. The camera bag that I currently have is just not quite big enough to carry the lens’s that I have as well as the camera. And the colors of the bag are great. Ihave been wanting a Tracy joy bag but I just have not been able to find one that I like.
Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday! I’d love to have the Reece bag. It’s so multipurpose and would be great for a number of things! I’d love to be able to fit both of my DSLRs for sessions… I’d also love to have it for travel – it’s such a great size!

I would LOVE to win a Tracy Joy bag, and would give it to my best friend, Jen. She’s unselfishly assisted me at several weddings and photo shoots and has been learning the ropes of photography. She is three months pregnant, horribly morning sick, and this bag would be such a great pick-me-up. Not to mention it will be incredibly useful after she has the baby! She can use it as a diaper bag AND camera bag! That’s why I’d like to win the Kristine Bag. PS: Happy birthday!
Linda says
You need one cuz you DO! It’s versatile, stylish, comfy, professional, etc. It holds all you need and more. It makes professional photography easier, especially while on location and running after crazy lil ones!!:) If you are a photographer yu NEED a bag-so choose the best bag:a Tracy Joy! (Of the bags pictured I like the lilest one, but if I won-please send the bag to someone who needs it/doesnt have one. I love mine but would love to pay it forward.)
Michelle S. says
Wow I’m a relatively new photographer and hear such great things about your bag among photography forums. I absolutely love the Tracy Joy strap cover I ordered and would love love a bag to match! The Kristine bag in brown looks perfect and I’d get Carnival Bloom to match my strap
I hope you had a fantastic birthday with your friends and family!! Have a wonderful holiday season

Agh..I accidentally hit something and it sent my comment and I wasn’t even finished. Please delete the other one.
The reason why I need this is because I need a stylish bag for my camera equipment, and the bag that I purchased from you before has totally been worn out. I used it so much and so often that I wore it out. (It took a LONG time) These bags are made with the best quality and craftsmanship. My fav0rite is the Kristine bag with the flap with the bright pretty flowers. It is very nice of you to give away one of your awesome bags that you worked so hard to make. You are drawing on the date of my birthday, so this would be the best gift. Wish me luck! Thanks again Tracy Joy!
Bobbi says
Happy Belated Birthday Tracy!! I hope you had a great day.
My experience so far with you has been that I found your website/etsy shop and drooled over your bags. I asked plenty of questions and labored over which pattern to choose. Finally I made a decision and in less than a week, my Joey bag was in my hands and I love it. My Joey goes with me everywhere – with 3 kids we are constantly on the go. Between family outings, school fields trips, boy scouts, girl scouts it is really get a workout. I would love to win your new Reese bag and have the added security of the zipper and be confident small things are secure when I’m running around with little ones. Thanks for a great contest Tracy!!

I love all the bags and have been wanting one for over a year now. I think it was fate that I came looking again today (first time in months I’ve been here) and you are having this contest. I *need* a Joey bag because as a busy mom of non stop 3 year old, I need something trendy and handy to carry my camera in to capture all those special memories. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!
Gina says
Oh how I need to upgrade! My Joey is just about too small now that I have finally purchased some new glass! I NEED a Kristine!
Gina Aukes says
My favorite bag would be the Reese bag. I photograph vehicles at a car dealership and need a bag for my camera and gear.
Leah says
I NEED the joey bag to haul not only all of my crafty projects and my camera, but my 5 and 6 year olds think they are paparazzi and want me to haul their cameras and crafts wherever we go too!
Lyndsey says
Happy Birthday!
I would love a joey bag because I already have a big huge camera bag, and the joey would be perfect for when I just want to bring along my camera and a few accessories!
Plus, your bags so are darn cute! I would look so fab!
Deb says
I would love to have a Joey bag. I have “stalked” your site and blog for months. I dropped several hints to my husband about what I wanted for Christmas including links to your site. However, I found my gift and it was not a Joey bag. I am a small person and the Joey would be perfect for my equipment as well as my size. Hope you had a great Birthday!!
LuAnn says
My daughter has been dropping hints that she wants one of your bags for months! I’d love to win one for her. She ends up being the family photographer for all our events, and it would be nice to help her get her things organized and easy to carry. I’m not sure which bag, though- probably whatever is the biggest? They are all beautiful.
Bethany says
OHHHH!!! I would have to say that the Kristine is my favorite style…just the perfect size…not too big and not too small!
And I desperately need one of these bags as I start up my new photography biz in 2009!! I could definitely use a fabulous and stylish shooting bag!!
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity!!
Andie says
I just upgraded my camera to a 50D, AND I’m doing the 365 project. It’s getting harder and harder to carry around a camera bag AND a purse. I’d love to have something that could double as both! TJ bags are the best of both worlds! 🙂 THe Kristine bag would be perfect for me to carry around my lenses, camera, and all of my other goodies on photo shoots and while shooting for leisure!
These bags are great!
Ally Prieto-Valle says
Happy Birthday!!! I absolutely love the Joey bag and have been wanting it for a while now. It is the perfect size to carry around and would look great on me ;o) It is such a stylish bag to carry all of my equipement in, it would be a great addition to my camera accessories!

I would like to get a Reese bag for my wife. I think she would love it to keep her camera and other “stuff” safe.
amie says
Hi! I would love a bag to carry my gear. I am a school teacher by day and take Senior pictures for my students who can’t afford to pay big bucks for pics. This bag would certainly make shoots a little easier to manage for me. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Jenn Walters says
So…I just came across your site and blog a few months ago. I fell in love with your bags and your blog posts… I can honestly say I am addicted… LOL…. I would love to purchase one of your bags but I would not want to risk my husband having a heart attack from me buying another bag… Hee Hee….So for now I am going to have to wait on purchasing but to win one would be absolutely AMAZING!!!! I have just recently added your blog to my igoogle home page so I don’t miss a beat, and so I can drool daily at your bags… 🙂 My favorite by far is the Kristine in the Annabella fabric. I am by far not a professional photographer, but I am a full force 27 year old mom of 3 kids (ages 5, 8, 10 months) and love taking pics. I have even recently just started hanging a white bed sheet on the side of my baby’s crib to use a backdrop and my husband’s flood light he uses when he works in crawlspaces….Yes very Ghetto I know…But eventually I hope to finally have the equipment to really take some spectacular pics. A Tracy Joy bag by far would get me going to have all the essential photographer pieces. If I don’t win I will still be saving up to purchase one of your beautiful pieces down the road. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!!!!
