839 IHeart Jo Totes & a GIVEAWAY!

OK gals, this week's giveaway is a lady's dream, and one of my favorite businesses to work with.  It is brought to you by the kind friends at Jo Totes, camera bags for women.



I have received two Jo Totes as generous gifts in the past, and I loved them so much that I recently purchased another for the newer features.  I love everything about them, from the quality to the storage to the fact that they protect my camera investment with care and most of all, they are simply gorgeous!


Jo Totes provide a fashionable way for women to safely carry their camera bodies and lenses, along with regular purse items, every day.  The bags come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors.  They all include interior pads that can be customized around your equipment and regular handbag items.


I am such a fan of being able to carry all of my belongings, including my DSLR, with me anywhere I go.  And anything that combines style and organizing, is a huge winner in my book!

Today, Jo Totes is offering one of you very lucky IHeart Organizing readers, the opportunity to snag a Jo Tote camera bag of your choice!


This means you could even get your hands on one of the very new Georgia bags!  Sooo pretty!

  1. My favorite photo is of my daughter at age 21 months leaning with her chin on a fence rail looking out at the park where we were. She is always a bundle of energy, so it was a rare moment to catch her still.

  4. My favorite photograph is one just recently taken of my little family of 3. My husband had been in California for 3 weeks and my little boy and I picked him up from the airport and went to get shaved ice. We snapped a simple iPhone picture, but it's my absolutely favorite picture! We all look like we are glowing with happiness- just so happy to be together again!

  5. My favorite pictures are of my children when they are happy and caught in a moment. I'm also learning to take artistic photos so those are fun too.

  6. My favourite photo was taken by my mum using black and white film. It is of a country track in the middle of nowhere with the most beautiful bare-branched tree. It was taken outside a small village in the west of Scotland and is full of drama. I love the scene and it always makes me really proud of my mum's talent.

  9. It is so hard to find a cute camera bag I may have to buy one. My favorite picture is one of my oldest daughter, who is now 8, when she was about 2 we had celebrated a birthday at a local mexican restaurant and they gave out sombrero's for birthdays and she has put it on and of course it was too big for her but I got the cutest pic of just her face and the hat.

  10. My favorite picture is a picture of me with my mom and dad a few years back. It holds even more sentimental value now that my dad has passed away. I love looking at it and seeing what features I get from my mom and what I get from my dad and what is a perfect blend of the 2 of them.

  11. My favorite photos are of those of my son. With him, I am not afraid to get on the floor, roll around, laugh, dress him up or whatever. <3

  12. My favorite photograph is the one I took of my grandparents at the park. They were standing side by side, and it was only afterwards did I notice they were standing right next to 2 enormous trees. I love the unintended symbolism, because trees are strong, natural, and can provide comfort and shade because they are very down-to-earth (haha punny). Best picture of my grandparents and what they stand for in my life :)

  13. My favorite photograph is one I have hanging in our entryway. It shows my 2 kids playing on the beach at sunset in the Virgin Islands. It is just their silhouettes and priceless! Thanks for the giveaway!

  19. Love Jo Totes - thanks for the chance to win! My favourite photograph is one taken of my husband and I on our wedding day. We are walking, holding hands, on my family's farm. Some of the old farm buildings are in the background and hubby & I are looking at eachother, talking & laughing.
    Love everything about it! The farm is where I grew up - so to have our wedding photos taken there meant a lot to me - - the background of every photo holds a ton of meaning for me.

  29. It seems as though all the moms that have entered mentioned their favorite photograph was of their children. I was trying to think of something different, but I cannot think of a more favorite photograph than that of my daughter. The specific photograph is very recent of my daughter at age 2 - she looks exactly like me in it. It really endeared my soul to see how much of her is actually me. It filled my soul with so much joy!

  36. My favorite photo is a strip from a photo booth with my mom at the county fair when I was about 5. In it I am holding a hand blown glass rose necklace that my mom bought me (and I had forever until it finally broke). I am just beefing with joy and my mother looks so happy too. This was right after her and my father got divorced and we settled in Arizona. It marked the beginning of our new life together. A mother daughter bond that grew so strong over the years.

  39. (I don't think I can be a part of this give-away, since I'm from The Netherlands. But I thought I might just give it a try. Who knows.... Maybe I can promote Jo Totes back here with my new camera bag :-) )

    My favorite photo is one with my two lovely pets. I have a dog and a rabbit and my dog can sit for hours (!) I front of the rabbit hutch. (Is that the right word?) Anyway, I have a photo where they almost touch each other with their little noses. :-)

You can see their deck, a perfectly hung hammock, a few sailboats, their dock, the bay and a gorgeous sunset.

  108. One of my favorite photos is one I took when my daughter was born. She is maybe 20 minutes old and it is of my husband and our son looking at her in the little baby bed.

  109. My favorite picture is one I took when visiting my now-fiance when he went overseas after college [to play basketball]. It was a picture of fishing boats all docked next to each other in still water with the sun and clouds in the background. It was just beautiful seeing that landscape, what God had built, and being blessed to have traveled this far to another country to visit him and see everything Greece had to offer.

    I loved it so much I blew it up and it is now hanging in my bedroom!

    ReplyDelete

The photo is of my daughter looking up at him from the carrier. They are both smiling at each other amid the crazyness of the fair. It was a great moment and I'm so happy I captured it!

    ReplyDelete
  114. My favorite photograph was one of where my husband and I went on our honeymoon, and passed by a desert on the way there. The photo is not staged, and we did not have a photographer with us, but we did get an amazing picture with me holding my hand over my eyes to block out the sun and my husband looking at me like I'm crazy...a picture that truly captures us! I think if I had to choose any picture to represent us, it would be that one. I love it, even four years later.

  115. My favorite photo is one I took this summer of my 4 kids laying down in the grass. we were trying to get a good pic for a canvas print we had a groupon for.

  120. So hard to narrow down a favorite, but the one that stands out in my mind even before looking is one of my sons. My older son (5) is leaning in and so sweetly kissing my younger son (6mo) while he smiles up at him with that smile thats reserved for big brother only.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I think my favorite photo would be of my newborn daughter taken from the perspective of cradled in my arm and looking down on her sweet sleeping face. Thankfully the camera I used was small.

    ReplyDelete
  122. It's so hard to think of my favorite photograph, being someone who takes hundreds of photos every month! But one of my all-time favorites is from when my husband proposed to me. We were on the beach with his brother & sister-in-law, taking photos together. His sister-in-law was snapping some of us, and told us to do something crazy for the photo, so I make a ridiculous face, not knowing that this was all in the proposal plan. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Phil getting down on the ground. When I turned to see what he was doing, there he was with the ring! The whole proposal was caught on camera, and my absolute favorite shot was afterwards when we were hugging. We look so happy and relaxed and the beach setting was gorgeous with a pier and the sunset in the background.
    Thanks for the sweet giveaway!

  123. Oh, I was suppose to tell of one of my fav photos. WOW hmmmm. well, I take a lot, but one I took almost 19 years ago of my two oldest on the beach. We had just moved to Wilmington, NC. It was Feb, cold, and my son who was 4 and daughter who was 3 were sitting on the sand, my son put his arm around his sister and cuddled up in the cool ocean breeze. I snapped a shot, and it has hung in our house ever since. My uncle was so touched by it, that he did a huge painting of it that hangs in my parents living room.

  127. My favorite photo is a picture I took of my kids for our Christmas card. They are standing in front of the tree holding hands and smiling. HA! Only minutes before they were bickering with each other and I was yelling, "Hold hands and smile and pretend you love one another!"

  128. I have the Rose bag in the teal color, but I would love to have something just a little smaller. I'm an aspiring photographer (so I really don't have a favorite single photo) and I always have my camera with me....

  129. one of my favourite photos is one I didn't take myself- a beautiful photo of a chickadee taken by a talented photog friend, that I framed for my family room. We were hiking with our kids in the forest- many lovely photos and memories were captured that day.

  130. What cute bags! My favorite photos are the yearly ones taken with my whole family. It is nice to look back and see how everyone has changed over the years.

  131. I'd love a bag like this! My favorite photos are of my kids during our travels through Europe. My most favorite is probably of the four of us in a field of Rapeseed flowers in the Cotswolds in England.

  132. One of my favorite photos is of my daughter when she was 5. She was laying in a pile of leaves and wearing a colorful poncho sweater. The pic was an explosion of beautiful color. Plus, she looks super cute in it. ;)

  133. My favourite photo is of my daughter at the park as she was so happy and you could really see it in the photo. She loves the outdoors so much.

  134. This would solve everything! And hopefully I would take more pictures :( My favorite photos are casual ones when my daughter was born and seeing pure happiness in my husbands face.

  139. My favorite flower in the whole world is cosmos. We used to go to cosmos fields as a family and take pictures growing up. Now that I don't see my family anymore, I look at those pictures and reminisce...

  140. My favorite photo is of my two oldest boys holding hands looking off into the distance. You can't see their faces but it just represents to me how they have always been. Great buddies who stick together through it all.

  141. Very neat. The bags are so nice. I would have never guessed that it is supposed to be a camera bag. DJ

  142. My favourite photo was a picture I took on the morning of my wedding on the West coast of scotland. The snow had fallen, but the air was crisp and motionless, with the blue of the sky reflecting perfectly with the mountains in the perfectly calm loch water. The best photo for the start of a truly wonderful day.

  143. My favorite photo is of my husband and I when we were on homecoming court together our senior year of high school, the night of our first kiss.

    ReplyDelete
  144. My favorite photo is a candid that one of our wedding guests shot of my hubby and my first dance.

    ReplyDelete
  145. My favorite photo is one of my son (now 13) on his first birthday. He's looking out the back door so one half of his face is lit with sunshine and the other half is in shadow.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  146. I don't know if I could pick just one favorite photo... my daughter was born just over 6 months ago, and I have so many beautiful photos of her now! I love looking at her as a newborn and, even though she looks so different now, I can still see the same expressions on her face!

    ReplyDelete
  147. My favorite photo is of me and my daughter standing on the beach in front of the ocean. The weather was perfect that day and we were enjoying our vacation together.

    These bags are very pretty and functional. Would love to win :)

    ReplyDelete
  148. Those are lovely! I could definitely use one for my new SLR! My favorite photo is a shot my father-in-law took of my daughter, almost eight months, proudly standing on her own and smiling at the camera, her hair all crazy and sticking up in the back.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I could easily carry my hubby's camera in style. We don't have a case, so we often forget our camera! And we don't want to miss the moments and memories that our 2, soon to be 3 kiddos are making!

    ReplyDelete
  150. My favorite photo is one we took this summer with both sides of our family at the beach, under the pier. It reminds me how much we're loved and I love having both sides of our family with us.

  151. My favorite photo was taken in Santa Monica at sunset. Seagulls were flying over the ocean as the sun was setting behind them, silhouetting them in such a cool way. I've been eyeing these bags for awhile now, love them!

    ReplyDelete
  152. It's hard to pick just one favorite photo- but a favorite one of mine is of my daughter at 18 months. I told her to sit down on a leaf at some stairs near the beach, she sat down laughed hysterically (because she was squishing the leaf) and turned toward the camera and gave me the most beautiful smile!

    ReplyDelete
  153. Finally! Fashionable ways to carry a camera around! My favorite pictures are any of my kids! I do have some that I like more than others but that would still be far too many to list:)

    ReplyDelete
  154. I take lots of photos but at the moment my favorite is the one I took just last night of our Maltese puppy trying to join our twins in the bathtub!

    ReplyDelete
  155. I still think the Rose is my favorite! My favorite photo is one i took of the sunset in key largo outside of our hotel room. stood on the walkway and looked down the path.

    ReplyDelete
  156. One of my favorite pictures is a chest-up portrait of my husband and our new baby boy in the bathtub together. It's such an intimate moment, and I had to beg my husband to let me take it. He's glad that I did...now. ;)

  157. My favorite photograph is of my daughter wearing my husbands socks! Just too cute for words!

  158. Oooo I love the new Georgia Herringbone I don't even know that I would use it for my camera:)

    ReplyDelete
  159. I'd love to win a bag! My favorite photo is one of my grandfather and me on a bike when I was around 3.

    ReplyDelete
  160. My favorite photo is of our kids with our chocolate lab before she passed away from cancer. So happy we have the photo of showing how much we all loved her!

    ReplyDelete
  161. I've been searching for a nice camera bag that doesn't scream 'I have a camera!' The Georgia looks perfect for that.

    I think my favorite picture I took was when my sister, mom, and I were shopping for wedding dresses for my sister. I caught her looking at herself in the mirror contemplating one of the many dresses she tried on.

    ReplyDelete
  162. My favorite photos are all of my son, and the particular favorite changes frequently, probably because my son is a toddler and HE is changing frequently! My current favorite is a photo I snapped of him running around on the grass in his tuxedo during the photo shoot at my dad`s wedding this summer. It is absolutely precious and so HIM right now!

  163. Hi Jen, My favorite photo is one I took of my daughter. It was at the Tyler Azalea Trails. It is a great photo of her and the bokeh of the flowers makes it look like a painting. Thanks for the chance to win!

  164. ::swoon:: for the Georgia bag!

    My favorite photo is one from the day after my son was born. He looks so alert & I look so in love...it's a perfect black & white photo.

  165. My favorite photo has turned out to be a simple snapshot, taken with our point-and-shoot, on a trip to New Zealand many years ago. It's an image across the glassy waters of Lake Wanaka looking up at the snow covered peaks. It is breathtaking and peaceful.

    ReplyDelete
  166. my favorite shots are the ones of my kids, but my most memorable is one of a duck on a lake with a perfect reflection, so it is the same exact picture upside down!

    ReplyDelete
  167. My favorite photo is of my son in overalls on a country road.

    ReplyDelete
  168. My all time favorite photo is of my husband and daughter leaning up against an old truck. It makes me smile everytime!

    ReplyDelete
  169. The photo that comes to mind is of my now 9 year old at 9 months in a santa hat, all smiles and chubby cheeks. It was a close up taken in our apartment and it brings me back to those baby days.

    ReplyDelete
  170. My favorite photograph is of my parents with my children. My Dad has a lot of health problems and we are not sure how long he has with us, and I am so eternally grateful that he knows each of my children. It is something I will treasure forever.

    ReplyDelete
  171. My favorite photo (right now - this changes often) is one of my husband and little boy by the water. We live in a beautiful area at the base of a 14,000 ft peak. We were at the reservoir one sunny beautiful day and I captured my little boy walking closer to the water and my husband holding his hand to help him. It reminds me of my favorite people, my favorite place, and a beautiful day.

  172. My favorite picture is one I took of my daughter when she was 5 months old for Valentine's Day. I got the best smile out of her and it is just the most precious picture.

    ReplyDelete
  173. My favorite photo is of me and my niece at my wedding. It captures us both laughing and is so natural (which was kind of hard to get of a three year old girl). I will always remember that special day and how excited she was to be my flower girl!

  176. my daughter at her first birthday shoot. she was a bit sick and had a meltdown so we stopped about five minutes it. but the photog caught a pic of her looking down with a single tear in her eye and it kills me.

    ReplyDelete
  177. ah! so hard to choose my fave photo ever taken - i'd say a picture i have of my husband and our two dogs. my husband is typically a serious man but in this picture his face his BEAMING as he poses by our christmas tree with our two dogs and even THEY look so happy! :) melts my heart

    ReplyDelete
  178. My favorite photos are two that a friend has taken of my husband and I. He has this cool little spy-like camera, and it prints in a sepia, slightly oldish looking tone. He always gets shots of us when we are looking at another camera or not paying attention, and they are always great!

    ReplyDelete
  179. My favorite photo is of my son. It was taken on his first day of school.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Love Jo totes! My favorite photo is of all four of my kids together when they were little - it was so hard to get them all in a pic together!

    ReplyDelete
  181. So--- cute. my favorite photo is a vacation shot from a few years ago. it totally captures for me all of the fun and energy from the trip!

    ReplyDelete
  182. Several months before my husband and I got engaged, we did a quick, fun, photoshoot in Boston with his sister (an awesome photographer). My favorite photo was of us holding hands, facing the camera, with a wooden wall behind us. We were off to the right with lots of wood on the left in the photo. It really embodied who we are and we looked really good together. It actually became the header for our blog for the first 11 months of its existence, but after being married for over a year the photo seems very outdated. We don't really have a replacement, though, so it's still my favorite! And yes, it beats any photo taken on our wedding day. It was us in a very natural setting and I love it!

  183. I love taking photos of my family for Christmas cards...every year the new one becomes my favorite :D thanks for the chance to win!

  184. My favorite photo is of my son and myself at his 1st birthday party. My cousin took it and it's in black/white. He was so scared with all the people at our house and was clinging to me all day.

  185. i cant even explain how much I need one of these!
