Unique Camera Straps from Capturing Couture | Review and Giveaway
I have a confession to make. Up until this week, I’ve been rocking the standard Nikon camera strap that came with my DSLR. There is nothing wrong with using the default camera strap, but let’s face it, there are certainly some better choices out there that provide both comfort and style.
I’ve now officially retired my trusty Nikon strap, and swapped it for a camera strap that is truly unique. Her name (yes, my camera strap is now a “she”) is Ella, one of the designs available in the 2″ SLR/DSLR camera strap collection from Capturing Couture.
Before I begin my review, I wanted to share this bit of text from the Capturing Couture Web site that I found particularly inspiring:
Capturing Couture was founded by two working moms, with an obsessive creative passion, spirited ambition,
and fearless work ethic to make magic happen!
I’m not at all surprised that this product was conceived and developed by two smart, stylish moms. When you browse the selection of straps in their shop, you will be struck immediately by the quality and beauty of Capturing Couture’s camera straps. The design choices are fresh, funky, romantic and modern. They also offer a variety of straps designed with men in mind, and I’m sure male photographers who are looking for a way to dress up their equipment appreciate that!
I think I’ve expressed thoroughly now that I think Capturing Couture’s straps are complete eye candy, but I would also like to point out that they are also extraordinarily comfortable, thanks to the neckpad sewn into each strap. The pad is made of a plush velvet, and feels wonderful on your skin. This is quite important for working photographers, as the wear and tear that your equipment can put on you physically after a long day of shooting can be immense. It’s best to take every opportunity to spare your body some wear and tear, and the wonderful padded neck straps from Capturing Couture are really helpful.
I would recommend Capturing Couture’s camera straps to any of my photographer-colleagues, and also to my friends and family who are looking for a fun, stylish accessory for their camera! I am also thrilled to have the opportunity to give one of you a Capturing Couture camera strap–how cool is that? Following is the gorgeous strap you could win:

Nick & Macy’s Winter Wedding | Chillicothe Ohio Wedding Photographer
When a couple plans a winter wedding, there are usually many fingers crossed for snow. Well, we were lucky enough to have a few flakes the day of Macy and Nick’s beautiful January wedding! Although the daylight had faded by the time their ceremony ended, Macy and Nick wanted a few images outside. Even though it was literally FREEZING cold, dark, and snowing, I was more than game! I was even more thrilled when I found out that a tractor would be involved–how fun!
Here are a few of the images from Macy and Nick’s wedding, hope you enjoy!
- I Love my pictures! =) You did a wonderful job. I would SO stand in the snow again to have these tractor pictures taken. Love it!
Valerie & Billy | Chillicothe Ohio Wedding Photographer
I am so excited to post a few images of Valerie and Billy’s wedding, just in time for Christmas! Of all the weddings that I photographed in 2009, I was generally very fortunate to have beautiful weather. That is, until the day of Valerie and Billy’s Hocking Hills wedding. It started raining hard that morning, and as much as I tried to wish it away, the rain just kept coming all day. In spite of the rain, Valerie and Billy had a beautiful ceremony, and we even managed to get a few fun rainy photos!
Also, on a side note… I am still here! I’ve been working, working, working, but have neglected my poor blog. That’s about to change. Look out for some new blog posts from recent sessions and weddings, and even some photos of my adorable baby, who is now almost five months old amazingly enough!
Now, on with the images.
- You did a beautiful job, Crissy! I absolutely love the photo with the couple under the umbrella - they look SO happy and in love! you always capture the most wonderful emotions in your clients! I wish you could come and photograph my family. happy holidays!
- I check out your blogs still, nice to see some updating :) Generally I go to your site to get to your flickr updates, nice to see this blog updated with photos :)
- Hi Crissy! Great photos! I love your natural photography! How funny the umbrella of Valerie & Billy! Many greetings from berlin. Bianca

Niki | 2010 Senior Portraits in Chilllicothe, Ohio
I am so excited to post a few of my favorite images from Niki’s recent senior portrait session! Niki is a 2010 senior at Teays Valley, I was so happy to be the person she chose to capture her senior pictures. Niki was a natural in front of the camera, so it made my job very easy. Here are just a few of her best images:
Abby & Derek: Married! | Chillicothe Ohio Wedding Photographer
I have been so lucky so far this summer to have had absolutely beautiful weather for each of my weddings! Abby and Derek’s Chillicothe, Ohio wedding was no exception, and as you can see from this sampling images from their wedding, the day was just lovely! Big congratulations to you, Abby & Derek!
I really love this picture, it’s so touching to see this kind of emotion behind the bride’s eyes as she walks down the aisle toward her new husband.
Abby & Derek chose the Adena Mansion in Chillicothe as a site for some of their portraits following the ceremony.
The reception was held at The Madison, which is the old post office and former Landmark Christian Academy in downtown Chillicothe, Ohio. This was my first event at the new Madison, and I am sure I will be photographing many receptions there in the future as this is a wonderful location!
- Crissy! I absolutely love these! Can't wait to see more! You did a beautiful job! Thanks again!

Addison is 1!
I have been photographing little Addison since she was in her mommy’s belly, and I’m happy now to post a few adorable shots to mark her first birthday! It’s amazing how quickly time passes, and hard to believe that I will be photographing my own little one in a few short months!
- I love all the photos you've done of this little girl! She's so big now and just adorable. Awesome images, Crissy!
