Order update!

If you have NOT received a UPS tracking email, unfortunately your bag will NOT be shipping before Christmas. (about 3 of you who ordered prior to 12/10) I greatly apologize for the inconvenience, my supplier ran out of a few components, which we did not foresee, and they will not be in until 12/27, so I cannot fully complete your bags until those are back in stock. Those bags WILL ship before the end of the month. Thank you for your understanding.

Have a VERY Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year!!

The Pro Lens Wear team

Too much of a good thing?

Order Deadline

All orders placed by midnight Monday (12/10) will ship before Christmas. All orders after that date will NOT ship before Christmas! At this time, I cannot offer a rush fee. I will be taking a Christmas break to spend time with my family. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!

I've been a busy bee!!

Pro Lens Wear has made a strong stand in the photography world, and you guys are LOVING our bags! Thank you for ALL the kind words, referrals and so much more than you are doing for us! All the recent orders that have been placed are in process and will ship before Christmas! We've been giving back as well by helping out various charity organizations and groups by offering up free bags of choice to raise money and awareness! Fun, fun!

I have been asked for some inside photos, and while there are some posted sooner in the blog, I thought I would take some more for you with explanations. Again, thank you for your support! We're having a blast!

This is looking at the (small) bag from the left front with the cover folded behind and empty. Here you see the smaller front pockets for your smaller accessories. In the right pocket is a key clip and the attached reel you see on the left can be used for numerous things, including your light meter, expo-disc, etc.



Here is the bag with a Canon 70-200L lens (with hood on backwards) and an external flash. These would be considered the "front" pockets that the cover would cover over when moved to the front of the bag.


These are the back pockets with a Canon 24-70L lens (with lens hood on backwards) and again the external flash. Usually I carry my 85mm in that pocket as my 135L is on my camera, but I wanted you to be able to SEE that there was something in that pocket, as the 85 and 135 both sink down and are snug.


Please feel free to ask if you have ANY questions! I hope this helps you visualize the bag better. Again, it's a lens bag, meant to be used while at a session or wedding and not for storage of your equipment. If you are looking for a well made camera bag, check out Tracy Joy.

Also, I have not forgotten about the "surprise"....just hard to find the "right people" sometimes. I don't settle for anything less than 100%, so just be patient with me. It may end up being a HUGE launch at the beginning of the year! But let's wait and see.

Thanks!

And the winner is.....

Amy Clark of Baby Steps Studios!! Amy is the winner of her choice of Pro Lens Wear bag for her generous donation to the Think Pink Photography Network!!

Thank you Amy!! Now time to make your decision!! :)

Due to recent high demand, the partial cover option is being discontinued as a Pro Lens Wear choice. However, if you have already purchased a bag with a partial cover, and would like the option of ordering a replacement partial cover in the future, that will still be available. The full cover option will now be standard on all bags and the prices have been adjusted accordingly.

Thank you!

WIN A PRO LENS WEAR BAG OF YOUR CHOICE!!!

Help Think Pink Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month with their October Network contest!

Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. They are a non-profit organization that serves two main purposes - celebrating life and supporting the cause. While donations are accepted throughout the year, they won't often ask for contributions outside of the Partner with a Photographer program, however...

Think Pink is kick starting their organization by showing their financial support this October. How wonderful it will be to present the Beverly Family Foundation with our donations!! Visit Think Pink's website and blog for more details on the organization!!

Contest Details:
The photographer that generates the most funds for Think Pink will win their choice of a bag from Pro Lens Wear. Deadline to make online donations is October 31, 2007 at midnight EST. Mailed donations must be RECEIVED by October 31st.

Get creative!
Spread the word on your blog. Tell everyone about Think Pink and encourage them to sign up for the newsletter and make a donation. Create an email that asks people to forward it on to others in their address book. Funds help the cause, but awareness and spreading the word in general is SO important. Print cards to give people. The possibilities are endless!

Any donation is so helpful - even small ones - because it really does add up. Right now there are 106 photographers in the Network. Imagine if each of them donated $10 - right there is $1000 to the Beverly Family Foundation!

Thanks and good luck!

Maroon Soul - 6 pocket

Sassy!

Custom 6 pocket, full cover.

Orange Wave Small - Custom 6 pocket

This is fast becoming a popular style and may very well become the PLW signature design.

Here is Heather's small orange wave! They will see you comin' girl! Fun!

11 New Designer Fabrics

I am constantly on the lookout for fabrics to offer you a wide selection and variety. Here are some beautiful new fabrics that have been added!

Circles Black - 6 pocket

Classic!

Traditions Blue - Custom 8 pocket

This bag was designed with the fabric covering the entire length of the bag. The client wasn't sure she liked the idea of the fabric only covering part of the bag and wanted a more "messenger" look.

Some custom work is accepted, but only slight modifications to the design will be made to ensure the safety of your equipment. Custom work is considered on a case by case basis.

Minucci Peach - 8 pocket

Yummy!

Navy Terrace - 8 Pocket

Gorgeous!

Retro Pink - 6 pocket

Sooner or later I knew I would have to go with basic black neoprene...and it's not too bad! I have a lot of fun with the colors (as are you guys!), but black is classic. I am LOVING this funky Retro Pink cover for Tera's bag!

It's Coming Along!

I have to share more excitement with you! Jaime at SWS is kicking butt with the website design! Here's a sneak peek!! She ROCKS!!

Navy Terrace - Large

I just couldn't wait to show you this PLW! I have quite a few bags in production at the moment (as well as those of you on the waiting list)...but I just couldn't wait to show you this one! It's not complete yet (as you can tell) but LOOK how gorgeous!!! This Navy neoprene is YUMMY!! I am just loving all the cute combo's that everyone is coming up with! Each bag leaves here with a personality all it's own and reflective of it's new owner! What a blast! Have a great weekend!
