Come take a look inside my Camryn camera bag from @kindlycamerabags! Its the perfect size for me! Roomy but not too bulky to carry with me on a shoot or while traveling. Im pretty minimalistic when it comes to how much gear I use but you can see theres all kinds of room inside! The interior of th...
