Get Strapped With Mod. | Enter to Win!

I have to confess…I’m addicted to pretty things. Now, if that makes me a girly-girl, then I will just have to live with that. When Michelle and I were planning out our blog schedule for April, we knew we wanted to focus on flower photography, but we were stumped as to what flower photography-related product we could feature in a review. We thought. We thought. And we thought some more. Then…

In steps Mod. Their style is so fresh and fun, we knew we could find a stylish camera strap to feature and incorporate into our flower photography theme…then we saw it (insert choir of angels singing here)…

I mean, can you believe how fun this camera strap is! It’s fresh, it’s funky, and it couldn’t be more perfect for spring. I love that the flowers come pre-frayed, so I don’t have to worry about protecting them when I’m out shooting. Plus, it gives the strap a casual look for everyday photo-ops. But say you’re going somewhere a little more formal and you’re not sure the bright fun colors will fit in with the event you’re attending…just unhook the strap from your camera, using the quick-release feature shown below, and attach a more formal style Mod strap. Problem solved.

The genuine leather ends and the durable webbing throughout the strap give me peace of mind that my camera will be safe…especially when I’m balancing on an unstable dock trying to get the perfect shot of a vintage boat–one of my favorite subjects to shoot! A sturdy camera strap is a must for me…I just don’t trust my butterfingers enough while I’m near water.

Turquoise Flower Premium Camera Strap | Mod.

So here’s a thought, while you’re pulling out those flip-flops this spring and freshening up your wardrobe with bright colorful springtime accessories, why not update the look of your camera, too?

48 Adrienne April 17, 2012 at 7:09 am

Waiting for news on a little newborn that I was scheduled to shoot. There were complications and so the doctors are waiting on test results to see if her liver is strong enough to repair a hole in her heart. :( Praying that she’ll get to come home safe and sound. That will be an emotional photo shoot for sure.
