One of my biggest pet peeves when shooting a wedding or photo shoot is that I always end up wearing pants without any pockets. If I need a new flash card, I have to track Brian down or the camera bags down or both! It’s totally ridiculous. I even thought of getting one of those older fanny packs, but I can’t bring myself to do it. The fanny pack and what I’m wearing would totally clash–let alone make my rear look big and puffy!
Well, thank you Sara France and Lauren Hillary for creating a hip product (no pun intended) that solves my problem!!! It’s called the GO-BEE Hip Clutch: and I thrilled to say that I just preordered mine!!
Look at this inside of this sexy thing! Is it perfect or what! I can have my Blackberry, CF cards, lense cleaner, business cards all inside—ooooh, I’m so loving this!
I first spied this little item at the GO-BEE party in Vegas during WPPI. But I got a closer look when Sara came to our San Diego Workshop to demo a lighting trick. (I literally called her the night before, and she totally showed up and helped workshop attendees during the live shoot. Amazing!) As she was doing this, I noticed she was wearing that super cute GO-BEE.
The GO-BEE’s weren’t ready to order yet, but folks, they are now! If you get one, use the Pre Order Discount code on her blog. The code is PREORDER. This gives you $15 off! Check out all the details at the GO-BEE website.
And, they even have a men’s version!
Go Sara and Lauren! Thank you for taking your own leaps of faith on this idea! You two are totally inspiring women!
p.s. If you enjoy looking at good photography blogs, check out Sara’s… Where in the World is France?
p.s.s. The NEW July Photo Contest Theme is WATER!!!
You can enter any images that have to do with water whether it is kids running through sprinklers, afternoons at the swimming pool, heaven forbid–rain, or the ocean, or another idea I’m leaving out. You get the idea. July’s theme of water is in celebration of the great weather we’ve been having in Seattle! 🙂 The sprinklers never felt so good! So send your entries to contest@fioria.us. The deadline is Thursday, July 31st at 12 midnight (Pacific Time).
So sweet… Nobody will call that a fanny pack!
I vote for the GO-BEE Hip Clutch to be the prize for July’s contest! 😉
I assume the magnetic closures won’t affect memory cards, will they? It was ingrained in me at an early age that nothing magnetic go anywhere near computery things!
ah!I just found sara and her bags thru the B school blog and spent so much time on her sites!
Water it is! I can’t wait to see what ‘dad’ pictures you choose
funny….sharon’s solution for frustration on a shoot is to throw stuff….hmmmmm???
That little hip pouch is sooooooooooooooo cute! I hope she makes one in a pretty dark brown eventually. 🙂
I’m so excited for the ‘water’ photo contest! This can be tons of fun! Now I can spray hubby with the garden hose and blame it on this. 😉
Since the forum isn’t here yet I need some help from Me Ra and the other ladies here. Kaitlyn will be turning 1 on August 16th and I need party and portrait ideas! I don’t want to do the standard pink crepe paper and balloons while we eat grocery store cake and she sits next to a giant wooden ‘1’ at a studio type thing. Any ideas?
Cute and stylish – LOVE IT! 🙂
Jeramy,
Tell Sharon that blaming Brian also wroks well too! 🙂
Ahww Me Ra! I was going to order it at the workshop, but didn’t. Now you blogged about it and it is like twisting my arm!! (I just ordered one!) I LOVE this hip clutch!
well…i didn’t want to call her out….but actually she throws stuff AT ME. Maybe deflecting to Brian might be a good thing. Good tip.
Me Ra, you are so sweet! Thank you so so much for the shout out! I am so excited that you love it as much as we do and we are so excited to ship them in a few weeks!
Jess, you are correct about the magnets they are not harmful. There is a whole bunch of research that we did about the magnets because I wanted to find out for myself what the situation was and REALLY did not want anything velcro or snap or anything like that for closures and I wanted you to be able to access everything with one hand so I just new Magnets would be perfect. AND it turns out they are not an issue at all with Compact Flash cards. We posted a bunch of resources for our research in the FAQs on the site. I appreciate you asking the question that is on everyone’s mind. It helps me to clear it up! 🙂
Lauren, we have thought about making a brown option and I appreciate your input! I will make sure that we take it into consideration with the next design we release!
Thanks for all the support everyone! We really appreciate your help in getting the word out! That is the hardest part! In the Recent News section of the site we have images that you can use to help spread the word also. Thanks again so much for the support and encouragement!
Wow, that is actually really cute!
