    And I love her bags. I would be lost without my TJ bag.

    "Tracy Joy is an amazing person, and very talanted as well. I loved my bag so much that I bought one for my mom that helps me 2nd shoot at all my weddings, and then my sister started helping me 2nd shoot as well, so we got another bag, she got it to me in time for our wedding, so we all matched, it Rawked! I love my Tracy Joy bag so much, my camera is in it all the time, I use it for a purse/camera bag, carry my camera up to the studio or where ever I go. There is enough room for my camera, a spare lens, my lightsphere, extra batteries, business cards, shall I go on....Tons of room and made so durable and made with love. I felt an instant connection after I bought my bag, seeing her mother helps her make the bags, and my mother helps me in my photography business. Thanks Tracy for everything! Go buy a bag."

    "I truly cannot describe how happy I am with my Tracy Joy bag. I received a Kristine bag for my camera only a few days after ordering and could NOT have been any happier. The bag is funky, and is so well-made. The quality is impeccable and the size and compartments fit my camera and lenses perfectly.

    Tracy is a total pleasure to work with. She is so understanding, and knows the true meaning of customer service. She does her absolute best to make sure that all of her customers are happy and satisfied. I will forever be a customer of hers, as I am definitely addicted to changing out my "flaps" and I highly recommend her to anyone that is in the market for a unique diaper or camera bag to hold their stuff.

    She is truly awesome."

    "Tracy is absolutely FABULOUS to work with!! I purchased one of her hand made bags and I am in love. The time and care that went into making this bag is unmatched. I love the thick fabrics used and the funky designs to choose from, not to mention the room for all of my gear! Her talent is amazing and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much, Tracy!
