Kelly Moore Bag | Pittsburgh Senior Photographer

Why I hope to win a Kelly Moore Libby Bag in Grey.  Are they having a contest?  Nope, but I’m a proactive girl – and I’m sure one day they will have a contest and guess what…my blog post will be here ready and waiting!!!

Well, it all started years ago…

Many friends and clients were telling me that I should get into wedding photography – and after hearing it so often, I actually put real consideration into it!  I even set up a day where I was going to shadow the most AMAZING wedding photographer in the area, Weddings By Heather.   I was so super excited that I even invested in a new way to carry my gear.  A belt system (I will leave the brand name out).  It was definitely was more than I wanted to spend, but let’s face it – when you’re rolling with the big dogs, you want to at least look like them!  Heather Lahtinen, owner of Weddings by Heather, is so absolutely amazing – and SHE has a belt – so in my mind I HAD to have one!

Long story short, we ended up selling our house so quickly that when the weekend came to shadow the amazing Heather Lahtinen, I couldn’t – we had to have everything moved out of our house in only a few days!  I was so super bummed, but figured I would eventually set another shadowing day up.  In the meantime, I decided to get familiar with my new belt system.  Freaking awesome, right???!!!

I wore my belt to a senior session and was so excited to be “hands free” in a sense.  We had an amazing session – so much fun – and I couldn’t wait to go home and edit the pics!  As we were walking back to where we had parked, a car full of high school boys drove by.  One stuck his head out the window and screamed “FANNY PACKER!!!” at me!  It felt like the scenes you’ve all watched in the movies before – where the girl is dressed up for prom in her brand new dress and ready for her prom date, happy, excited, in a great mood….and then all the sudden her prom date drives by in slow motion and throws a dozen eggs at her.  Oh yeah, it was THAT BAD.

I was now perceived as a fanny packer?  A fanny packer – like the old man at the amusement park walking around with his pulled up socks with sandals and his trusty fanny pack belted to him.  I had become a fanny packer.

Oh dear no!

I made the decision to specialize in high school senior photography and have loved every second of it since.  I have not worn my belt since that dreadful day – it sits in the corner of my room – in darkness – reminding me of that awful, mortifying, traumatizing day.

So, here I am.  Working with the most AMAZING seniors and parents imaginable!  I am in need of a stylish, gorgeous, trendy, equally AMAZING bag…and I’ve found it in the Kelly Moore Libby Bag in Grey!  Oh, to have it in tow would just be the icing on the cake!  Just look at it and you will see why I am drooling all over my keyboard right now!  It’s GORGEOUS!!!  Click here to see its beauty!

Let’s hope there’s a contest soon and I can enter this dreadful story about why I would LOVE to win a Kelly Moore Libby Bag in Grey!
