Welcome To The New Age: Wi-Fi Cameras #PixBundle


It has been years since I shopped for a new camera.  I didn't even know smart cameras existed!  I have  a couple issues when it comes to using my dslr camera - my biggest issue is that it is heavy and bulky.  I have been traveling recently and while I love traveling and my dslr, sometimes I wish I had a more compact camera.  I think I hold back from taking more pictures because I don't want to drag it around.  It is a huge responsibility.  I would love to have a good camera living in my purse for those everyday moments!  My other issue is that my sons always want to use my camera.  My 16 year old loves photography and my 7 year old loves making videos.  Sorry not sorry but mommy's camera is her camera.  My resolution was just to go out and buy a new camera - one that had wi-fi, long zoom and works well in low light.

Our happy medium would be a camera that was a step up from our cellphones and right below my dslr quality - I immediately looked at Samsung smart cameras because I get compliments from my pictures on Instagram.  The reactions I get when I tell people my black & white shots are from my Samsung Galaxy Reverb is priceless.  

I found two Samsung bundles at Sam's Club - the WB800F had an instant savings of $30 and at a price tag of $249.88 - how could I walk away - it was coming home with me!  I was super excited to check out the Wi-Fi feature especially when I'm at an event and can't quite zoom in with my phone.  It would also bring me so much happiness if Duke wouldn't hand me his old camera with a full memory card.  With this new camera I could teach him how to upload his review videos right to YouTube. 

The Samsung Smart Camera WB800F bundle includes an 8GB SD Card and Camera Case

This is definitely what caught my attention - 21x Optical zoom, WiFi Connectivity and Hybrid Touch Screen!

Give The Gift Of Art #AlphabetPhotography

My husband & I love art.  He happens to be an artist and currently in school as a Fine Arts major.  We're really picky on how we decorate our home so when the opportunity came up to own a custom piece from Alphabet Photography... I was excited but also a little worried.  I loved the options I saw on their site, their prices are really reasonable but could they live up to our standards?  I had Chris place our order and within a week, our order was here.  The moment I opened the box and pulled out the carefully and thoughtfully wrapped package... I knew it would be love.  Everything from the ribbon to personally addressed card was awesome.  I love little details like that.  It means people truly love what they do and they genuinely care.  It speaks volumes.

Chris, Duke and I were so excited to open the kraft wrap but I was positioned closer to seeing it first and I gasped, "Oh my goodness, It is so beautiful!" Chris begged me to show him already and he was stunned at how fantastic it came out.  He chose our last name in bright Vegas Signage letters in Chocolate Frame with Double Mat and V-Groove.  The prints are so vibrant and eye catching.  The workmanship is excellent.  Our custom piece came signed and dated by Alphabet Photography founder and photographer Jennifer Blakeley. When Chris hung it up in our living room, our 6 month old Omar immediately noticed.  He couldn't stop looking at it for a few days.

It fits our family, it fits our home, it is us.  Alphabet Photography lived up to our standards and then some.  If you are looking to give the perfect gift this Holiday season, this is it.  Alphabet Photography's personalized products are exceptional.
