*** This Bag has been awarded! Congrats to Steph Motz!! ***
Last week was a little bit like Christmas mostly because I got a new camera bag from Kelly Moore! It is her newest bag called the "mimi." I took it around town all weekend for some personal shooting & to give it a test drive. It is a fantastic day-to-day camera bag that fits an ipad or journal in the back perfectly. What I love about Kelly's bags is she really thinks of everything... not just the way they function, but also, the way they look and feel. It is just the right size for day to day shooting and still totally stylish which every girl needs right?!
I'm really stoked because Kelly has been kind enough to allow us to giveaway one bag to one lucky winner! This is NOT just a giveaway for girls, guys you can participate too :) Kelly has agreed that the winner can pick ANY bag of their choice that is of the same value as the Mimi. Totally awesome right?! Here's how to play... simply twitter something about this giveaway & include @SarahRhoads & @kellymooreclark in your tweet and leave us a comment here on my blog with one thing inspires your creativity. We will be choosing a winner at random within the week. Good luck!

My children are my biggest inspiration, but aside from that anything vintage inspires me to create something from it! Gave you some tweet love! Thanks for the opportunity at this awesome giveaway! https://twitter.com/#!/Michellemdoucet
Travel probably inspires me more than anything. Even if it's just a weekend road trip, traveling reminds me that the world is a big place. I feel refreshed after a good trip, and ready to get to work.
pinterest inspires my creativity. seeing what other bloggers pin inspires me and gives me ideas! would love to win this bag!
Spontaneity inspires my creativity. Doing something unplanned, new, just because. I also feel I am most creative when I start a project and just do. Make mistakes as I go but enjoy the ride. " )
left a little twitter love:
Kelly Moore Bag Giveaway by @SarahRhoads because @kellymooreclark gave her a pretty bag 2 try&she loved it. I would love mine 2. #justsayin
You ladies are amazing.

I am inspired by the North Pacific Coastline. The fog that hangs in the air, the dampness of the lush ferns, the remoteness of the jagged rocks. I'm so happy to live in WA
: )
Thanks for the contest!

@sarahrhoads inspires me to develop my creativity more fully. @kellymooreclark inspires me to take better care [of myself AND my creativity].
Everything inspires me. If I had to name a single thing, I guess it would be love.
Great giveaway! Thanks for having it :)

What inspires me? COFFEE! That's probably weird to say, but it does. Also good friends, the bible, and dreaming big!
Hello! :) I'm Mahsa. What inspires me: This is difficult to narrow down, but one thing that inspires me is hope. It's funny thing, hope I mean. You can't quite grasp it, it's not visible and not a fact.. but a little thing like hope can pull someone through a lot - I think.

one thing that inspires me... SO hard to narrow it down to one thing!
I think one of my biggest inspirations has been my family, specifically my 6 and 2 year old nephews and 3 year old niece. These kids taught me how to capture truth and personality. I love them :)
Thanks so much for this opportunity! Could never afford something like this so this is way awesome!! :D

As far as inspiring creativity, for me it's geometric shapes. I love the interplay of light and shadows, symmetry and asymmetry. Whenever I see it, I just want to click away to my heart's content.
Awesome giveaway!! I've actually been thinking about getting a new camera bag the last couple weeks and just can't decide on which one I like best! I love love love Kelly Moore's bags :) (Tweeting this right now!!!0
Awesome giveaway!! Gorgeous. Just love her bags! :)

Being out in nature sparks my creativity. I love to photograph all the beautiful things mother nature has to offer
Being in the outdoors and enjoying nature sparks my creative side. I love to explore and take photos of the natural things in life

Since my babies have been born, the tiniest of things innspire me. From their little toes, to the wonder gleaming in their eyes, life to me is now an inspiration. They seem to see magic in everything. It causes to to take a second look at things often at a different direction. Thanks!

I am inspired by things that are often overlooked. Like rusty handrails and old, forgotten walls. I think it's important as a beginning photographer, like myself, to be aware that there are beautiful things all around me. I try to give everything it's chance to be lovely.

I'm inspired by beautiful things. Whether outside in nature, in print, or on the interwebs, beautiful things make me happy. The neatest part about coming into my own as a photographer is realizing that most beautiful things are just regular things with beautiful light. Love.
I spend a few minutes pinning on Pinterest each night. It inspires me so much!! I've tried new hairstyles, gotten back into scrapbooking and art journaling, PLUS starting quilting!! Thanks for the giveaway- crossing my fingers!
What perfect timing to stumble across this awesome giveaway! I just returned home from church and am totally inspired. I was reminded that I should be counting my blessings and not my problems. When capturing photos I am mostly inspired by nature and the landscapes around me. Music is always a big motivation for me too!! I could go on and on.. but you get the idea!! Thanks for the chance to win this amazing bag!

I am totally inspired when my thoughts goes wild, expecially when I'm about to fall asleep :) I mean, I am able to create such amazing visions, complex movies, pictures and random things :)
I've tweeted about: https://twitter.com/#!/grey7alice/status/105293777358430208
Thanks,

I am inspired by my journal and watercolor set. Those two in tandem with me taking the time to play with ideas in that visual space helps keep me flowing and focused on creative projects.
Ive been wanting the mimi ever since it was released, I would love to win! Im very much inspired by fashion photography, vintage things and people in love!

This. Is. Amazing.
I am inspired by walking through the bookstore and seeing all the different typography on the covers. I am inspired by walking through a vintage shop so that I may come up with ideas for a fun styled shoot. I am inspired by life all around.
I'm inspired by the pursuit of the perfect moment. The one where all components fall into place to create a harmonious and beautiful picture that transcends itself.
Everything inspires me. Colors, a smile, a book, a piece of art, a sunrise, a stranger, a conversation.
I'm inspired by people; their dynamic relationships, and the quirky traits that make them special. Love the Kelly Moore bags, especially the classic and the bhobo.

I would LOVE one for my WIFE, maybe I can convince her to shoot with me!
I'm inspired by music and the stories behind that music,recently from the foo fighters "back and forth" documentary.that movie really taught me a lesson about struggle and Persistence.that's very much reflected my path as a new photographer.
Ahh! That mimi bag is gorgeous! I am in love! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win! I tweeted also! @alwaysnwonder
Watching old movies ::: The lighting and camera angles really gets my wheels spinning!
I am inspired by light, locations and great people!!!!
I am inspired by light, locations and great people!!!!
I'm inspired by the connection between two people. The laughter - the way they move together - awesome!
What inspires me the most are sunsets...the golden light and beautiful colors. I love watching the way the light lights up things I never would have noticed before.
My inspiration comes from my girlfriends photography. Her ability to change my perspective through her vision truly impacts all aspects of my life.
Thanks Tonie.
To me inspiration comes from hard times. I started my photography with a friend who's house burnt down and she lost her senior pictures at the time. I told her I had a nice camera and we could give her a make over and take some photos to distract her from her loss. That was over 7 years ago, and here I am inspired by how amazing other photographers are and how BADLY I want to get even better! I do photogrphy for less fortunate families and for people who may not otherwise be able to have a "professional" at their event. Its filled with passion, heart, smiles and most importantly the challenge of never being "the best" but always being inspired and not discouraged by what other photographers do! We are all in it together!
My inspiration can come from various things... textures, fabrics, photography, music, fashion, nature, quotes, etc. Some of my biggest inspirations are simply life's experiences. We all face different circumstances and decisions, and those moments are what direct us down our paths in life, and shape who we become. THOSE moments are my inspirations. It often seems that even the hardest, toughest, more desperate times are the ones where I learn the most from, and find hope and inspiration in.
Jesus inspires me. Everything about this life is created by him and it's just beautiful. Even the ugly things have a beautiful meaning, but I know that it's in His plan and he loves them anyway. He is the most creative being and i'm so glad I know Him :)
I am inspired by everything the world has to offer, but mostly by the wonder of little kids...they are just neat :)
Many things inspire me but it's actually the things that I take the time to notice...the small things that matter most. Like the smell of a warm summer breeze, the sound of a crackling campfire, the laughter of the couple having coffee on a patio downtown...We should all cherish the small moments in life because in the end..those really are the things that inspire us on a day to day basis, sometimes without noticing :)

I am still a beginner, so it seems that everything is inspiring my creativity lately! Everything I see I want to photograph now. Trips take longer due to necessary stops to take a photo of a barn, a sunset, a small town, anything! I guess my surroundings are really my inspiration right now as I am seeing everything a bit differenlty these days! This is an amazing giveaway! Thank you Sarah and Kelly!! :)
Pregnancy & the beauty of it's selflessness icurrently inspires me!
kelly makes some amazing bags! thanks for running this giveaway!
kelly moore makes amazing bags!! thanks for having this giveaway!
This is slightly random but kitchen sinks. It's the first place I go to when I'm with the bride at her house.. I find them fascinating and think one of my favourite images is that of a sink... :)
I would love to win this bag!! Kelly's bags are amazing!! What inspires me is other photographers...especially my studio mate. She is such an amazing photographer and person with a positive attitude and always stays true to herself.
Little girls and thunderstorms, random when said together I know, but beautiful and powerful on their own......

music inspires my creativity. specifically, amos lee, jt & the clouds, and eddie vedder. people who write their own songs about real life, love, and lessons and sing their heart out to it!
I am inspired by the opportunity to capture something much bigger than I am. A feeling, a breath, a laugh, a touch, a brighter flower than I ever seen, a softer doggy than I have ever touched, a happier child than I have ever known. Pretty cool...I hope I win!
I am inspired by the stories of people I meet: their hearts, their spirits, their dreams... Capturing all three is heaven.

Driving or walking around is where I find my creativity. There's something about looking at a location that really gets my juices flowing!

What inspires my creativity is a really good piece of art, writing, sometimes just snippets of colour. Looking at things differently.

What inspires me is people; their personalities, quirks, humour, anger, emotions and the world; its many facets, inspiring features, beautiful colours, beautiful landscapes and the fact that it lives in my dreams. I work hard and aspire to turn my vision of the world and its people into a memory forever.

I am inspired and moved by Canadian prairie summer skies. There is nothing like them, and I have travelled a lot. I am also inspired by my baby girl, who is a constantly changing and making the world a better place with her beautiful smile.

I'm inspired by people. The way they love. They way they laugh. The way they look at each other on their wedding day .. and look at their newborn child. It's a beautiful thing to watch life happen and capture all the little moments that go by.
One thing that inspires me... the ocean. Being near it calms my mind and allows my heart to express itself more freely.
eyelashes and sunshine.....
working in Seattle the sunshine is not something I always get to use but when it comes out I feel like I am taking pictures for the first time again. Playing with the way the sun beams through leaves and flowers is so much fun.
I love eyleashes, I love to focus and the cheeks and eyleashes of little ones and not so little ones. :)
Fantastic giveaway!
People inspire me. In all the little ways we are completely unique from one another.
My younger sister inspires me so much. She's 6 and she's so full of creativity and laughter. She loves to play "model" at home, with her princess dresses and tiaras. I love her cheeky one-tooth smiles, and playfulness. She reminds me that childhood doesn't last forever, and so I like to capture the youth in people. (:

Traveling + experiencing new cultures is what most inspires my creativity.
Traveling + experiencing new cultures is what most inspires my creativity.
there are so many different things that inspire me but one of them is design. i love going to the library to the design section and looking at what all the great design masters have done...this ALWAYS makes me want to do better!
what inspires me? well....lots:) but I think that one thing that really inspires me is just being outside, weather i'm in nature or downtown, walking around. music also really inspires me, especially classical!, because there are no lyrics--you get to imagine everything in the "plot" of the music, the costuming, the set, the colors, the characters. it really gets my creative juices flowing! :)
Love the new Mimi and that it has a zipper! Hope I win. Thanks!

I love this bag! I am always on the hunt for the perfect travel bag that isn't too large but can still fit my camera and all my other goodies. Speaking of travel, that is absolutely, positively what inspires me the most. Seeing & photographing new places, faces and cultures always fills my heart like nothing else can. My twitter name is @noelleshumer but my twitter feed is private so I don't think it will show up in the feed. Thanks for the giveaway ladies!
Oh this bag would be such a amazing gift! My inspiration comes from the things around me, design, architecture, people, nature.
Thanks Kelly & Sarah!
I would love to win one of these bags! Thanks for the chance!
I'm inspired creatively when I stop to daydream! Preferably outside :)

creativity is driven by mostly my emotions - whether I'm feeling adventurous, bored, forlorn, longing, happy, lonely, content, I find the fun comes in trying to express those emotions into photos. Oftentimes, it's the most unexpected/surprising (and sometimes seemingly mundane) images that are able to capture my emotions - but that's the fun of creativity, it always goes beyond what you merely expect :)

My son inspires me now. I have so many good pictures of him I just love to look through them and see how much he has grown in such a short amount of time. This giveaway is great! Thanks
Ah I love this giveaway, I would have each style of bag if I could!
Music inspires me creatively. I love the emotion and feeling that can be brought forth through lyrics and so I try to create that same feeling through my photographs.
My mother inspires me. Anytime I think of her and her life, I think of more ways to live my life to the fullest. This includes seeking to learn and grow as a photographer and to always look for the beauty, no matter what the day may bring.
It inspires me to wake up and see a beautiful sunny day!
It inspires me to wake up and see a beautiful sunny day!
What inspires my creativity.. rain and sunshine, beautiful light and creamy bokeh
What inspires me is touch. Connection. Whether I see a little boy holding his daddy's hand, an elderly couple walking hand in hand or a hug between friends we all want to be loved. Touch is such a visual way to show love and it inspires me.
This giveaway is killing me. It's really, really killing me. My hands itch to hold it.
Anyway...on to the topic of inspiration.
I'm inspired by many things. There's so much beauty in this world. It's hard to pinpoint a single thing that makes me want to create. An emotion, a song, a beautiful and unforgettable landscape, silence.
Art inspires me. In other people's work I see possibilities, different perspectives, the opportunity to expand. It challenges me.
And also the people that I photograph inspire me. We photograph people from different backgrounds and cultures. Hearing the stories of people who have faced a life of hardship, learning from them and having the opportunity to capture dignity, strength, hope and beauty in them is always an honor and a reason to be inspired.
I'd love to win a bag! the thing that really inspires me to creativity is capturing that moment that truly embodies a person. I mean, when someone can look at a picture and say "that is soooo ______" that makes me smile. It's the moments in life worth capturing that makes us as photographers aspire to develop and fine tune our skills.
It crashed when I commented before so just in cases....(as such a cool wee giveaway:) am inspired by beautiful light, the great outdoors and a nice cup of tea :)
I'll admit it, I'm obsessed with these bags and with your blog. :) Always gets me thinking about my own style and what makes me unique beyond the cliche of "just being a photographer". I really admire that both you and Kelly have created huge brands outside of the wedding industry while still remaining true to yourself, which I hope to accomplish this some day and take my business to the next level, whatever that may be. :)
Inspiration is everywhere and almost nowhere - all at the same time. It's elusive, yet we're surrounded by it always... Okay, enough philosophic musings ;) At the moment, new clients are what inspire me. I get so amped to discover these new personaliities/loves/concepts and find original and honest ways to convey them. Yes. Yes, indeed. I love my newest clients right now. :) And this awesome bag! ;)

I am inspired by brushstrokes and textures. "Do something" and then reacting to what happens can be a fun and challenging experience.
My oldest is on the autism spectrum, and is always working on a fabulously odd project or idea. Thinking outside the box is his way of thinking. He inspires my work to be unique, to break the rules, to shoot when the light isn't great, to embrace what I see as beautiful even if no one else "gets it".

One thing that inspires me to be creative, especially within the parameters of photography, is a story. But really in every aspect of my life, the story behind something and that being made evident or expressed is what inspires my passions and desire to be creative. Within my photographs I like to paint a picture of the story of a couple or a family, to tell the story of a band playing THEIR stories for an adoring audience. My favorite books and movies are those based on characters and dialog and the expression of.... their stories. When I design or decorate a room I like to include artwork and brick-a-brake that tells the story of my life, travels, and the love my husband and I share. When I talk with friends I want to hear, THEIR STORIES! When I sob while reading the news or watching a sappy commercial it's the stories of someone's life that touches me. In everything, I am most ignited, and inspired by the telling and portraying of a story.
My kids inspire me. Their smiles, the way they play and the hugs inspire me every day.

people's eyes inspire me. when someone looks you in the eye it's like they let you in on a secret and i love getting the privilege to be a part of that!
Love inspires me. And those little looks that pass between two people. you'll never really know all that goes on in that look, but you try your best and you shoot.
I am inspired by old people and babies. By life and death. By love and the fleetingness of time. By my dog. By people who don't settle for mediocrity. Oh, and by Kelly Moore bags. :)

SERIOUSLY!?! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pick me. :) One thing that inspires me creatively: TRAVEL! Seeing people and places that are so different and so unique really make me want to capture them uniquely, and tell a story!

this might sound strange, but adversity can sometimes inspire me. when there is an overwhelming problem going on in my world, it typically causes me to stop whatever craziness was happening and take stock (i have a meltdown, of course) + then i break through barriers i hadn't known i could break through. less intensely...i adore the rain, the way it smells, the way it feels on my face, the way it makes everything look fresh + shiny....rainfall always sparks my creativity.
The spirits of my subjects always inspire me. From a personality shining through a smile or smirk to the sun casting its shadow across a landscape the challenge of capturing one's spirit is what inspire me to continue picking up my camera and represent the world around me.
My twitter handle is @MakenaBusch and I'd be over the moon with one of Kelly's bags!
My amazing photographer boyfriend inspires me more than anything and HE deserves this bag...he kinda needs it actually ;)
I never think that I have creativity, but for some reason, color seems to spark it. A color wheel or a color matching program is enough to inspire me to so something new.

My amazing Photographer girlfriend who this bag would be for:) is what inspires me:) She is amazing!!!!
Music and greeting cards inspire me since I'm always around them! I get such awesome ideas listening and flipping through them. Would LOVE to win a Kelly Boy bag in grey! My business keeps growing, almost too big for my teal B-Hobo I currently own. Thanks!!
Thanks for the Kelly Moore bag giveaway as for what inspires me; it would have to be my son; everything from his big blue eyes to his toes inspires me to be more, do more, live more

I'm inspired by so many things, but ultimately, my daughter is my inspiration to take photos, to create, to keep going even when life is so very hard. I find beauty and inspiration in much - from something broken and neglected to something gleaming and new, life, death, and everything in between. But above all...my wonderful daughter is everything inspired.
I'm inspired by capturing rural settings, particularly old homes, buildings. I look at the photos and wonder what were the stories of the people who lived there.

I'm inspired by so many things, but ultimately, my daughter is my inspiration to take photos, to create, to keep going even when life is so very hard. I find beauty and inspiration in much - from something broken and neglected to something gleaming and new, life, death, and everything in between. But above all...my wonderful daughter is everything inspired.

mmmm....this giveaway is great! I would buy each Kelly Moore bag style in a different color if I could!
But something that inspires me creatively is music. I love the feeling and emotion that can be exuded though the lyrics and melodies. I try to create that same feeling and emotion in my work too!

I'm inspired by capturing rural settings, particularly old homes, buildings. I look at the photos and wonder what were the stories of the people who lived there.
I'm completely inspired by art I haven't seen before, it gets me excited I want to run to my studio and start painting. Also the beauty of a moment in time.
What inspires me?
First and foremost, my parents inspire me.
Adventuring to new cities and places I have never been--looking around the unbeaten path and seeing the bricks and buildings as a foreigner looking in.
What inspires me?
My parents, first and foremost.
Adventuring to new cities off the beaten path--getting the smell of them, getting a close look at them, getting to be a foreigner looking in.
Lately, I've been inspired LOADS from my Pinterest feed. It's not just one thing in particular, its the entire collective. Seeing others make and do makes me want to make & do cool things also. Around the house, around my office & with my clients. I'm just a visual person I guess!
That 'anonymous' comment was me. :( I hit enter w/o typing my info above!! Oops. Here it is again w/ my contact info...
Yay for give-a-ways! Especially Kelly Moore bag give-a-ways! What inspires me.... different things inspire me but something that inspires me on a photoshoot is nailing the first shot. When I look at it in my camera and realize I nailed it with focus, lighting, composition... it lights the fire under me for the rest of the shoot.

I would LOVE a Kelly Moore bag!
What inspires me the most are the Rocky Mountains. I'm lucky to live very close to them and be able to shoot in and around them.
Thanks Sarah and Kelly!
Nothing inspires creativity like a clean workspace for me!
Thanks!
Lindsay
Oooh I love these bags and don't yet have one! Let's see, lately I've found myself so inspired by really good cinematography. The way something is shot, the way the camera pans, the story it tells by the way it is shot that goes beyond the actual plotline of the story.... things that are shot outside of the norm and push boundaries of what we're used to seeing. That's really inspiring to me :)
Love the new Mimi!
And my creativity is so inspired by all of the things around me...from the ocean, to a graffiti wall downtown, to a gorgeous smile on beautiful bride's face...and when all else fails: pinterest :)
These bags are gorgeous!! I'm inspired by many things, but color & light are some of my favorites!
Silly to say, but routine inspires my creativity. I think best when things are organized, because I don't have to worry about the unpredictable, thus allowing my mind to wander.
Anthropologie inspires me. Their store, their clothes, their decor. I love it all. I adore vintage anything and the style of the 50s and 60s inspires me. Also, Mad Men. I've re-watched all 4 seasons at least 20 times while I edit pictures... I love it. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me as well. I love everything you do!!
I never win these things, but you've got to play to win, so. . . .
Watching children play sparks my creativity -- there's something about how they throw themselves into their own world that makes me want to do the same. Runner up to that is probably anything minimilistic. . . clutter keeps me distracted, but removing it frees my mind.
I think I'm most inspired by other artists. I love collaborating with like-minded people about the passion they have for their art. It's such a great reminder to me to stay true to myself and others will see that passion come thru in my work. Thanks Sarah for being such a great inspiration to us all :)
Fashion inspires me! Bold, bright colors and the perfectly matched outfit makes shooting so much fun :)
One thing that really inspires my creativity is to be alone and quiet and look at water, woods, nature, then start taking photos. Just getting that camera in my hands also inspires my creativity. Thanks for the great offer to win the Kelly Moore bag, it is awesome!
One thing that inspires my creativity is a beautiful color palette. Not only can color represent an array of emotions, it can give life and depth to a photo. I also find that learning about your clients on a personal level allows you to increase your level of creativity. No one couple, child, or family is alike which makes the job fun!

Being alone is what inspires my creativity. I am a mother of 3 and a husband to 1. My full time job other than photography, is motherhood. It is the largest blessing I have ever known. One thing that is hard during the motherhood is being alone, it's rare. When I get alone I have space to dream. To imagine. To create.
I find inspiration in my grandmother's face wrinkles. It makes me wonder about her life and inspires me to live mine to the fullest.
People inspire me. They are all so different, every colour of the rainbow. I am inspired by the smallest details of their lives - the rings on their fingers or the curl of their hair. I am inspired by the stories that you can see in those details. They make my life richer, and I grow a little bit every time I get to know a new person.
My subject is what always inspires me. Be it a sweet baby or a beautiful old tree. I just let my subject speak to me. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
just getting out of the office and sitting around somewhere outdoors. people watching, staring up at the trees, getting an iced drink on a hot day...it clears my mind and allows me to really see the world that i want to see it.
A good short project helps me get out of a funk. A week of this... A month of that... A day of blah... It helps push me to look for new things. Off to tweet!
I'd think most mothers would say their kids, while they help, I need alone time. And I'll take it anywhere I can get it! I have 2 kids after all! I think the silence helps get rid of the junk running in my head. And that junk clogs up my creativity. Oh and a good short project helps me get out of a funk. A week of this... A month of that... A day of blah... It helps push me to look for new things. Off to tweet!
I love the grey Mimi!! Light inspires me!!
Woow this bag fits my wife's style!!!
I absolutely adore these Kelly Moore bags! Ahh, to own one would be a dream! ;)
I am inspired by the look of true love in someone's eyes. I melt seeing couples, whether young puppy love, newlyweds, or grandparents with that spark in their eye. There's just something about that look that they give eachother, the secret shared between just the two of them, that no one else can fully understand the charisma between the two. I instantly want to be snapping away everytime I see it. Cheesy, I know... but I'm being honest. :)
I'm inspired by my clients. I love getting to know them and the challenge of trying to capture their personalities in an image.
I'm also inspired by other photographers. I love seeing how others approach the challenges we face as photographers.
The simple piece of beauty in an object inspires me. Whether it's a smile...a laugh...or sadness in a persons face. Or the playfulness of a child. Or the rich colors of a flower. Or the rustic-ness (sp? lol) of something old or used. These are all things of beauty that light up my heart and fill me with joy, and inspire me :)
I love the Kelly Moore bags! My best friend bought the Mustard hobo and I've been dying to get one for myself as well! The new mimi bag is so freaking pretty!
I'm inspired by the little details that go unnoticed. I see things through my lens that I would never notice otherwise. Photography makes me more observant and I like to celebrate that.
Honestly, what inspires me the most is people watching. :) When I see two people in love, it really inspires me with natural posing that evokes emotion at the same time. Nothing like a good park bench to people watch. :D
I tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/asali_pl/status/103928943467433986 and my inspiration is light - love playing with it while taking photos!! thanks for the chance love this bag!!
I rarely have time or remember to blog stalk but when I do I can't wait to shoot again! I often find myself in a rut ... same poses ... same location .... but then I see some fantastic photographer's work and I am reminded that my choices truly are ENDLESS! That's the best part of being a photographer ... you NEVER fully arrive :)
Christen

I am inspired most by my son right now :-)
I just tweeted about this amazing giveaway! I am inspired by the local vineyard and sunlight and country roads. And I'm completely inspired when I stand next to the ocean. It clears my head and gets the ideas flowing.
My inspiration comes from natural and utter joy that I see through my lens and computer when I get the opportunity to work with people, animals and even nature.
I find inspiration in my grandmother's face wrinkles. It makes me wonder about her life and inspires me to live mine to the fullest.

Lovely bag giveaway!

The one thing that inspires my creativity in my photography and in my music is my lovely and intelligent girlfriend (and near future fiance! :D ) She has inspired me to see the world in a way both uncritically and imaginatively which I was never able to on my own as a lonely single fellow. All I have to do is think of her and her love and belief in me and I feel like I can accomplish any task I put my mind to.
i'm inspired by design. I eat it up! looking at gorgeous typography inspires me to go out & create something gorgeous myself.
Light, music and a good cup of tea :)

Not a profound answer, but I am inspired by hope - with so much brokeness and pain around us each day - hope believes for joy and for miracles and for love in the midst of struggle. Hope reminds me that there is beauty and things worth having passion for in each day.
Fingers crossed to win the bag - cheers!

people who follow their true hearts desire - regardless of obstacles and nay-sayers, j.crew and YOU! inspire me : )
Oooh-so excited about this giveaway! I am greatly inspired by pop art. I love how fun and colorful and absurd it can be. All of those art history classes in college paid off for something I guess!
Pinterest has some really nice inspirations...but my favourite of all is the simplicity of life; it's joys, its sorrows, its celebrations! Thanks for a very kind giveaway!
As cheesy as it might sound, my boyfriend inspires my creativity. It is because of him that I gained the confidence to become a photographer. Without his love and support I really wouldn't be where I am today. He has allowed me to follow my dreams and take chances and that is a priceless gift that I hope I will be able to repay someday.
What inspires my creativity can be said with one word: Joy. It brings me joy to be able to do something I love (photography of course) while providing my clients with memories they will be able to hold onto for a lifetime. Thank you both for the awesome giveaway opportunity! :)
what inspires me? pretty much everything. it can be the littlest detail.
I'm inspired by anomalies. Anything out of the ordinary inspires me to try to make out of the ordinary photographs.
My wife is my second shooter and she would love to have a kelly more bag as a camera/diaper bag! Thanks for the contest!

Nature = inspiration
Love the bag! I'm inspired by beautiful light, fashion, and music.
I went to school for photojournalism, and am now in the wedding field. What really inspires me is looking at some of what my peers and leaders in the photojournalism world are doing. It is different, and so beautiful, and definitely inspires me to look at the work I do everyday in a different way. Thanks for the giveaway and being an inspiration yourself!
Rich textured fabrics are one of my many creative inspirations! @yellowplumphoto
I am inspired by the heart of those closest to me. I have friends that I hold dear to my heart, that have the most beautiful, loving, creative hearts. THAT is what inspires me.

I have a Kelly Moore bag addiction, and I'm not starting any 10 step program any time soon :) Travel inspires me, surroundings that are new and unfamiliar always put my creativity in hyper drive.
Thank you for the opportunity! I love Kelly's bags!
I am inspired by other artists, fashion, vintage, unusual, whimsical items, and unique locations.

Any photograph that stands out and makes you want to learn how it was done definitely provides an inspiration to learn more photography techniques. Got to always strive to improve oneself, that's the hallmark of a great artist
My kids and their crazy antics definitely inspire me!

Everything can be inspiring I think. Knowing that all things were created by a really big God is just...awesome. Recently I started a blog called eucharisteo, (http://tarabreanne.blogspot.com/) each day I post things that I am thankful for throughout that day, which have made me inspired through everything in life recently.
I am inspired by beautiful people and things.

Musicals have really been inspiring me lately! Especially Seven Brides for Seven Brothers :) The dance scenes, the songs, the costumes, everything about them has really challenged me to go for the cheesiest poses I can think of, because sometimes it's in the cheesiest moments (and the moments right after) where you get to see the lighter side of people.
I'm inspired by a few things:
....When I look up out of my sun roof in my 11 year old beetle and see something totally different each time I look (forcing me to see what's in the rectangle frame)
....Coaching high school girls volleyball. I have the brightest group of young women-just coming into their own (self, style, personality). I'm inspired to see how they are growing not only in their volleyball skills but in how they interact with each other as well as how the lessons they learn in volleyball transfer over into their school life and home life.
...I find inspiration through conversations with my dad. Each day we have a debrief- a quick call on my way to work or after practice. Or a long conversation that lasts from the drive home until I park my car in the garage, walk up to my attic bedroom and sit. Each conversation is different and he daily challenges me to 'think bigger'.
Love Kelly Moore's bags!! They are wonderful!! I think real life is what inspires me..... constantly getting out there and living and watching people is very much an inspiration to me!
mmmm....this giveaway is great! I would buy each Kelly Moore bag style in a different color if I could!
But something that inspires me creatively is music. I love the feeling and emotion that can be exuded though the lyrics and melodies. I try to create that same feeling and emotion in my work too!
What inspires me most is the love two people can share and the beauty of this earth!

I am inspired by my love for my husband and his constant support.
I have so much respect for people who can put words together in a beautiful and meaningful way. Lately, I've found the most inspiration in stumbling over a provoking thought; typically from a book I'm invested in. The greatest inspiration comes from the kind of thought that perfectly sums up something you've been trying to express, but just couldn't find the words.
I posted above and forgot my twitter handle! It's GirlInThePink_
This is going to sound cheesy but my husband inspires me to be creative and push myself and my limits. He is so encouraging of my dreams and he believes in me and my talent. Aside from that, I have a recent addiction to Pinterest, which is overflowing with inspiration. It's total time-suck but I'm hooked!
travelling + experiencing different cultures is what inspires my creativity the most. Thanks to you and Kelly for doing this giveaway :)
warm, beautiful light inspires me... and people who are truly in love.
I would LOVE to win a Kelly Moore Bag!!
My creative inspiration: Coffee and perfect light! :)
warm, beautiful light inspires me... and people who are truly in love.
I am inspired by things that are often overlooked. I find beauty in rusty handrails and old, forgotten walls. I enjoy finding hidden places and seeing beauty in everything around me. As a beginning photographer, I think it's important to keep your eyes open and give everything a chance to be inspiring!
I'm inspired by color(s) and making things with my hands.
mmmm....this giveaway is great! I would buy each Kelly Moore bag style in a different color if I could!

Good golly miss molly!!! Oh how I need something like this!!! I get my inspiration from Jesus and my weird but beautiful siblings. But really...whenever I start crying over something because of it's beauty I'm hooked, and inspiration just comes right right away.
Oh. Chocolate always makes me happy and open. Big contribute to my photographing.
Have a beautiful day!
I am inspired by challenge. I challenge myself to do something different, to tackle something new, to laugh every day, and to make life pretty. =)
Inspiration is all around us - in the person walking down the street; in a vacated field, in a quaint alley way. We just have to keep our eyes open to see it.

Oh my gosh, I adore the Mimi bag, so cute! I really love it in the pretty purple color. Thanks so much! I tweeted also:http://twitter.com/#!/roomofmyown/status/103908168299593728
Thank you! You guys are great :) I'm inspired by authenticity and the light of the sun..and lots more!
Media inspires my creativity (music, movies, magazines, etc.). I love turning to media for inspiration. I also find visiting new locations (even if it's just a restaurant) can inspire my creativity.
Do you send the "mimi" for me in Brazil? Thanks! I'll be waiting! ;)
P.S. I really love your photos, I'm a big fan!
I tweeted! And I have to say that people like you inspire me... really. I look through fun, funky shoots, bright colors or days outside for inspiration. :)
I find loads of inspiration in helping and seeing other people get inspired. Does that makes sense?

I find my inspiration through Christ and my husband. When you think about all the beautiful things He created for us you can't help but want to grab your camera to capture them! My husband is one of those men who runs right beside me soaking in all the beauty. Each and every moment we capture is a new memory for us or someone else and that is a great feeling!
And to take it to a personal level with the Kelly Moore bag...I find inspiration in her ingenuity! I mean really, who can create a bag that can be a photographer's bag AND a diaper bags all the while looking AMAZING! My husband or I could carry this with camera gear or baby gear and no one would know. I'm inspired by her creativity in creating this product! Way to go Kelly!!!
I am inspired by challenge. I challenge myself to do something different, to tackle something new, to laugh every day, and to make life pretty. Not sure if that makes much sense... but I just wrote what came to mind! =)
P.S. Pick me! Pick me! I've been ogling Kelly Moore bag's for awhile now, and I would absolutely love to win one!
I am inspired every day by something new. Sometimes it is another photographer, sometimes it's a friend, but more often than not it is the person I am photographing. I love to use them as an inspiration to take photos that express who they are so they can remember that moment in time forever. I love your work and Kelly Moore bags! So excited for the giveaway, you are both awesome!
I've never really considered myself to be a creative type. I love to travel, I love light, nature, and good food. All of those things inspire me to keep my camera around and to take as many photos, write as many poems, and sketch as many images as I can. So, travel, food, life, and friends inspire me to be creative.
(I know, I know, I'm so cheesy. :) )
Inspiration is everywhere for me. Life is inspiration. Another thing that really inspires me is LIGHT. You can find it almost anywhere. How it interacts to every object and environment differently never get's old to me.
One thing that inspires my creativity is LOVE. I love to capture natural moments between two people that express how much they care for each other through imagery.
What a beautiful bag!
I am inspired by calm moments -- walking slowly, sitting on a bench by the lake, even practicing yoga in my living room :)

Having a non-obvious camera bag would be SO nice! I would take my camera so many more places knowing it was safe in this bag!
Right now, Pinterest is inspiring me more than anything!! It's full of gorgeous images in all categories, but the home decor, food, and fashion ones are most inspiring to me at the moment!
Thanks!

Ahhh I've been wanting the mimi for so long! What keeps me inspired in my wedding photo biz is looking back at the early pioneers of photography (Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, especially as a woman) when it was at it's purest form, and seeing the proof that equipment, fancy lighting and new technology isn't what makes a photograph great- it's the eye behind it.

Rich textured fabric is one of my many creative inspirations
one thing that has inspired my creativity and the way I shoot : Sam Abel and his technique of using space and light. I saw him speak on this once and discuss how your subject matter should be light itself...

How hard to name one thing that inspires my creativity! A good book, a good movie, MUSIC, other creative people, nature... However, if I had to choose one at this current time in life, it is no doubt my precious new baby daughter! Everything about her inspires me, her smile, her giggle, the way she sleeps, every breath she takes, the way she gazes at me, her eyes, EVERYTHING!! Being a Mom has inspired me to start shooting again. Where fear had stolen my joy of shooting, she has restored it! A nice bag would compliment my new attitude and excitement to shoot!
The love that God has for me, INSPIRES me to be creative in my daily life, to love with out reservation, to give with out expecting to live a life worth living!!!

Being I have a baby bag for a camera bag at the moment & my "baby " is 4 I really have been drooling over Kelly's bag I keep drooling over her Posey bags! I've tweeted on Elliesworld & I'm off to cross my fingers & wish BIG :) Thanks for the chance!
I am inspired by different things everyday - whether it be an old song that brings back memories, the wind blowing through our backdoor or watching my kids wrestle!

i'm really inspired by other people. i love seeing what people create.
my biggest inspiration has to be the outdoors though. there's nothing better than fresh air and clearing your mind.
Nature. Animals. Children at play. My garden. All of these things make my hands itch to be holding a camera. And Kelly Moore makes the perfect bags for keeping the camera close at hand! :)
The love that God has for me, INSPIRES me to be creative in my daily life, to love with out reservation, to give with out expecting to live a life worth living!!!
I would LOVE to win a Kelly Moore Bag!!
My creative inspiration: Coffee and perfect light! :)

mmmm....this giveaway is great! I would buy each Kelly Moore bag style in a different color if I could!
But something that inspires me creatively is music. I love the feeling and emotion that can be exuded though the lyrics and melodies. I try to create that same feeling and emotion in my work too!
This is so exciting since I was just telling my DH that the third anniversary is leather and I thought that a kelly moore bag would be the perfect gift! One thing that really inspires me is fabric! I love to look at beautiful patterns and amazing textures.
Kelly Moore - YOU my friend are inspiring to me! Not only with your work but with the way that you live your life with your sweet (growing!) family. YOU are in inspiration!
Such a fantastic opportunity!!! Thanks for yet another giveaway! Crossing my fingers!!! :-)
I would LOVE to win a Kelly Moore Bag!!

I work as a photo editor and as a freelance photographer by night :) so the work of photographers I work with every day inspires me SO much. their drive and dedication is endlessly motivating, sometimes I don't know how they keep on going when they face really difficult situations, but somehow they do and they continue to make beautiful images and they'll go right back in to the field a few weeks later and do it all over again. when I find my motivation waning, I think about them!
I've recently started doing weddings, and I find the most inspirational thing for my creativity is the way a bride and groom look at each other when they don't know I'm watching. Keeps me motivated and working hard to get the most unique pictures for them out of their day. :) Woo hoo for Kelly Moore bags, I wouldn't trust anything else for my camera!

Music inspires me
I get inspired by how much other people love photography! When I see what people do and say about their work and others it really inspires me to get better!
It's funny because the other day, I was looking at Kelly's bag and thinking, "I need to save up and get one of these bad boys!" And now you're having this awesome giveaway. So cool!
These days, what fuels my creativity is calmness. And Pinterest! Of all things. Whenever I am feeling low on ideas or inspiration, I will go float around the site a bit and get some great ideas for things I can do. Even if I don't do anything, seeing all that creativity usually gets me in the creative spirit. :)

When I overcome the toughest times in my life, and I can look back and realize the people and things that helped me through. That, is what inspires a deeper side of me. My creativity.

My creative inspiration usually comes messiness. A messy plate, a dirty piece of wood. It makes me want to shoot something on top of it.... with a camera of course. ;)

awesome give-a-way! thank you for having it.
I am inspired when I am present in the moment. If I just take the moment to breathe and take in my surroundings, the images start to form in my mind and I am hopefully lucky enough to be carrying my camera with me (hence why this bag would be great and I must look into getting one if I win or not!)
take care,
Dee-Ann

Sigh, inspiration is something that I find outside in in nature more than any place on earth. The internet is full of blog posts of amazing photographers that I hope to someday be like. But as I shoot I find my work looking more and more like everyone else's and I'm needing to find my own style. So looking to God's creation and looking at people and their lives inspire me.
Thanks for this opportunity! Hope I get picked ;-)

Hip hip hooray for giveaways! My creative inspiration often comes from moments that I'm not expecting - someone with really good personal style walking down the street, beautiful light pouring through some trees, or stumbling across an abandoned location that I've never seen before. Inspiration is all around us; we just have to keep our eyes open to it.

easy peasy - by surrounding myself with other creative, envelope-pushing forces
Almost anything about my City by the Bay (SF) inspires me... food, culture, festivals, people, neighborhoods... There's always something to do & new experiences to be had.
Music inspires me
My creativity is constantly inspired by my kids' ability to imagine beyond the conventional, the work of other inspired artists and by anything that has some substance and soul.
Love this bag! People/friends who are goofy, funny, not afraid to sound silly, and love to make up stories and "what if's" are what inspires me!
Though I enjoy photographing everyone and everything, I find that my creativity is most inspired by the candid innocence of children!
Thanks for posting about Kelly's bags! SO CUTE! :D

EXACTLY the bag I need right now. My current H&M bag (poor thing!) is in shreds. So cute and stylish!

Something that inspires me, other than both of you ladies, is the sun. Maybe this is bc living in Portland we do not see sunshine very often. Sun flare always makes for a better photo :)
#1 that inspires my creativity is surrounding myself with innovative, imaginative, and envelope-pushing people

One thing that always inspires my creativity is slowing down and taking the time to notice the simplest pleasures in life!
I do not have a twitter but was wondering if I could still participate? So much inspires creativity for me. That could be sitting on pinterest for hours or sitting outside. Seeing others' art makes me want to produce good art, seeing others work hard to produce thought provoking work encourages me to do the same.

Would love to win! I love just wandering the city for inspiration (Boston) and letting the urban landscape give me ideas for unique shoot locations.
