ONA Giveaway!

filed in:

been on the hunt for the perfect “Man” bag for Michael since he joined me and went full time in January! We tried a few bags but they just weren’t the right fit. I thought maybe Michael was just super hard on them but it turns out that they we just hadn’t found the right high quality bag we were looking for!! Luckily, we were introduced to ONA and Michael has finally met his match!! And because this is about his bag, I’m going to let him do the rest of the talking!! This is Michael’s first blog post so show him some love and be sure to enter to win an ONA bag of your own below!!!

Today is the Day!

It has only been 323 days since I went full time with Katelyn James Photography, and today is my first blog post. For those of you who have no idea who this is, this is Michael, Katelyn’s husband. We have had some requests (like 2 requests) for me to blog, and today is the day!!

I am blogging today about a very exciting giveaway!! I received my Ona Union Street bag in the middle of wedding season, and I could not be happier with it. This bag has everything that I need. There is space for 2-3 lenses and a camera body. Also, the laptop sleeve is super padded for my 13 in MBP. There is a pocket on the back side that is perfect for sliding in timelines or important documents that I need to access quickly. A interior pocket can be zipped closed for added security. Inside the interior pocket is where I keep my phone, memory cards, and keys.

I love how I can put the bag on the ground and it does not tip over. When you have thousands of dollars in equipment in a bag you want to know they are secure and safe, and I definitely feel that way with the Union Street bag! We have been really impressed with the durability of ONA and since we’re really hard on our bags, that’s saying something! So far we have been really happy with how the cover material, interior padding and the strap has held up throughout our crazy wedding season.

Today Ona has been gracious enough to offer a Union Street bag just like mine to give away to one lucky person!! How sweet is that?!
