Owner, Kahla  of Kahla Lee Photography is the master mind behind the fun shop on Etsy called Primitive Moose . She designs headbands and camera strap covers for the everyday photographer.

Each camera strap cover is designed with fashion and function in mind

One of my favorite things about this camera strap cover is the lens cap pocket. No more searching.  It’s in the pocket.

When I got it in the mail I was curious as to how easy it would be to slip over my existing camera strap and I was amazed. With the assistance of my five year old, she easily slipped the camera strap cover over my Canon strap.  ”So easy a Cav….. er… FIVE YEAR OLD can do it.”

I really love the super soft backing on them and the colors are fun too.

These covers are stylish to say the least. My daughter wants me to order one for her point and shoot.  Isn’t that cute?! But for now she can use it on my back up camera, which I might add she handles like a pro.

We’ve talked about accessories for the photographer, now I want to show you the ADORABLE headbands they have in the Primitive Moose shop.

Again Kahla has thought about comfort in her designs. Each flower had a soft felt backing to protect the wearers head.

I LOVE the netting on this one!

It seams like it was just yesterday we did our welcome post for my little princess.  Now she’s modeling AWESOME Props! Oh and can I say… These headbands are tough! at nearly 5 months she’s a strong little bugger.  She got one hand on this headband and I thought it was surly a goner. NOPE.  They are built so well they can withstand the worst beating.  Even from my little gal.

Till next time…

My name is Carina and I’m a PROPaholic!
