ABC’s of Back to School Bags – photographed by Sincerely, Liz Photography
August 6, 2012Whether you are off to junior high as a student or to elementary school as a teacher, having the right bag is important. Functionality is key as is beauty, and three of us set off to the campus of Sweet Briar (braving impending storms and a bush full of bees!) to bring you the beauty of our fun photo shoot … we hope that our spread in our August/September issue gave you some great ideas!
Today, we are giving a brief overview of the bags pictured in our shoot along with a schedule of when you can win some of the accessories … that’s right! Who doesn’t love a giveaway? More instructions will come later on the giveaways, but for now we just wanted to have a little fun and tempt you with some practical and pretty suggestions to tote your goodies back to school. Thank you so much to Liz Cook of Sincerely, Liz: Photography for taking all of these beautiful photos.
