I noticed that recently a lot of my wedding photographer friends were starting to get these custom camera straps with their company logos on them (if you’re new to my blog, you probably don’t know that I used to be a wedding photographer). I was curious and wanted to check out what this Fotostrap was all about!
We loved the clean, classic look and that you can add your own custom monogram or logo. We also loved the fact that they are all about giving back. They donates 10 percent to every sale to Fotolanthropy.
This is my best blue steel. I’m way more comfortable on the other side of camera, but I’m learning!
How do you like our logo? We haven’t incorporated it much into our blog yet, but it’s on our poor, neglected youtube channel. Have you seen any of our videos? Should we post more? If we do, what would you like to see?
In partnership with Fotostrap, we are giving away one Classic Fotostrap.
(US only)
Do you have a camera strap you already love? Which is your favorite FOTOstrap?
Please let us know your thoughts about this strap in the comments below! And good luck! :)

Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014haha Thanks for thinking of me. You’re always trying to think of the most thoughtful gifts. Can you help me out now and make yourself a pinterest board?

Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Good luck! :)
Karly Gomez
16 Jul 2014OK totally obsessed right here. I’ve been toting my stock strap since I bought my camera almost 4 years ago, how lame am I? Totally entering the giveaway now!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014I was the same way. In fact another photographer pointed it out to me how lame it was. :P But it still took me a couple years after that to finally upgrade!
Cassie Tucker
16 Jul 2014That is an awesome photo strap. Your logo is awesome :)
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Thank you so much Cassie :)

Paulina Dombrowski
15 Jul 2014Love this. So many I have seen just don’t look comfortable.
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Yeah.. that’s the problem. It’s either form or function… so hard to find one that does both really well.
Change With Us
15 Jul 2014OMG I have been looking for one, so I am so entering this! YAY!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Woohoo! Took me forever to replace mine, so I’m super happy I found this. Good luck! :)

25 Jul 2014Same here! It was between that one and the navy for us and ultimately we ended up picking navy.
Shipra Taneja
15 Jul 2014Love it! I need one of these in my life in teal! <3

Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014:) I want them all!
Jordan
15 Jul 2014I definitely entered this giveaway. I took off the strap because it was a GUITAR STRAP from my mom’s old guitar that I had been using!!! WEEEEEeeee.
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Woohoo! :) Best of luck! That is really interesting. I bet it looks super unique.

Lisa Marie Heath

Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014I personally do like deeper and darker purples, but the orchid looks so nice for summer.
Lacey Burd
15 Jul 2014I love the Seaside strap!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014It’s such a pretty color! :)
Chelsea
15 Jul 2014Such a cute strap! I have a gorgeous sequinned one but I never actually put it on my camera because my boyfriend does all the photo taking of me for my blog, so I think he’d refuse if I put it on haha!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014haha that’s too funny! I picked a pretty neutral one bc Jacob will have to be carrying it most of the time too. Even though I do take most of the photos.. he does most of the carrying in between. :P
Deidre Emme
15 Jul 2014YES! So many cute straps. I need a fun strap. Mine is so boring.
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Maybe it’s time for an upgrade! :) It seriously took me forever to upgrade mine.. I kept shopping around and trying to keep my options open.
Caitlyn @ ChemGradBoom
15 Jul 2014I am loving the cobalt! That color was amazing!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014That’s a pretty one too! I had such a hard time choosing a color.
Ellie
15 Jul 2014The Blush Strap is a must!! Love love love it! Can’t leave out the Hibiscus either.. I like pink..just a tad ;)
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Those are both great colors! :)
Food Booze & Baggage
15 Jul 2014I love it!! I did not realize they would do a logo when I ordered my camera strap…I ended up ordering one from Etsy. I love the symbols you picked!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Aww! I hate when that happens. I buy something and then immediately I find something I like better. I guess that’s just buyer’s remorse.. haha I get that all the time.
Susie Reece
15 Jul 2014This is absolutely adorable going to share it!!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Please do! :) Good luck!
Lauren
14 Jul 2014What a flipping cool strap!! I would definitely get a monogram one in hibiscus, hint hint :)
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014haha Agreed! Best of luck girl!! :)
Sierra
14 Jul 2014Seaside one!!!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014:) I keep seeing that color everywhere!
Soapie
14 Jul 2014even though you claim to be more comfortable on the other side of the camera, you always look good in your photos!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014haha thanks! We do take hundreds and I will eventually find ONE.
Jessica Angeles
14 Jul 2014The picture of you laughing is too cute!! Also this strap is SO you and I love it!!!!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Thanks girl! :) Haha I think so too. I knew it would be a good fit for me, so I had to get it! Do you think it isn’t as fitting for you too?
Rebekah
14 Jul 2014Love the strap! Very cute logo and yes, you should post more videos!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Thank you Rebekah! I am really trying! I feel so self conscious in videos though..
Laura
14 Jul 2014I love the strap (and the logo, very cute!) and your shirt! =)
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Thanks so much Laura. :D
Crystal @ Dreams, etc.
14 Jul 2014I love your camera strap! It’s so unique. I love your shirt too. :)
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Thank you Crystal! I’m so glad I found a strap so I could finally switch out of the standard ones that my camera came with. :)
Breenah
14 Jul 2014Love the hibiscus, so cute!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014That is a pretty color. It actually used to be my fave color a couple years ago that I even had my hair highlighted that color. I’m so fickle, so it’s always changing. :)
jamie @makeuplifelove
14 Jul 2014Omg I want this!!!!! These are so cute. What a great giveaway!!!!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Best of luck! :) I’m almost tempted to get them in every color!
Ellie
14 Jul 2014I agree with Yvonne – the Seaside one is so cute! x
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014I love the seaside color too. I find myself wearing that color more often these days!
Yvonne Marcus
14 Jul 2014That is absolutely gorgeous!! The Seaside one is my absolute fave
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Aren’t they super cute? :) I love these straps.
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast)
14 Jul 2014Oooh, that is super cute! And I love the pictures.
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Thank you so much Jenna! :)
Misun Chun
14 Jul 2014Oh my, I WANT IT!! Haha. Merlot is my fav! I really wish they had darker purple than Orchid :( Love the Artist but I’m sure I’ll get that pretty white dirty real soon! I don’t usually love bright colors, but Hibiscus is really pretty too!! Actually, they’re all lovely.
You should also be in front of the camera more often :) And love the logo! I don’t remember ever seeing it.. must have missed it :)
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014They are always coming up with new colors. You should keep checking to see if they finally come out with your color. :) We ended up going with navy bc I felt like it matched more outfits easier. Of course.. I’d love one in every color.. right? haha
Thank you! I’m trying to get used to being in front more often. :) The logo is just on the youtube channel at the beginning. It’s a really quick part of the intro
Katreena Short
14 Jul 2014Too cute. If only I had a great camera to put that bad boy on!
Katreena
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014Ooh maybe you should get one! :)

Betsy Gettis
14 Jul 2014i love these straps! i specifically love the seaside, blush, and sky straps….i always use my rapid strap when i do shoots, but i’d love to add one of these to my collection for travel and around-town kind of days!
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014I’ve used the rapid before! It’s def good for function, but not as pretty.. hehe :)
Nora Spaulding
14 Jul 2014Great giveaway! I need a camera strap!~ not many places do them custom…
Esther of Local Adventurer
25 Jul 2014I feel like this is a newer thing! I know when I looked in previous years, I never anyone do custom straps.
Neely
