I’d like to concentrate on finding fabulous gifts for the female photographer. Being one myself, I personally like to have a little bit of fun with my accessories. So I compiled a list of awesome ideas you can get your special someone. Everything from colorful cameras to beautiful bags, swirly straps, and classy cap savers.
CAMERAS
It’s unfortunate that full frame Canon and Nikon cameras do not come in metallic pinks and purples. You have no idea how much *I* would rock that. As much as I think there’s a Martha Stewart in all of us, I do not think there are many photogs out there that would really love showing it off. So, here are some great alternatives to colorful full frame cameras.
SCORE! I was thinking of getting a mirror-less camera as a walk-around for some time now, but seeing it in pink really sealed the deal. This girl boasts a sweet APS sized sensor at 16MPs! This camera is bundled with the 18-55mm lens but it can fit in your pocket with the 16mm lens.

OLYMPUS E-PM1 in PURPLE
Oh Hello! The micro 4/3 mirrorless cameras are really hitting hard. This purple Olympus pen is spectacular for a walk-around camera with a larger sensor than a point-and-shoot. Plus, you can change the lenses. Olympus is known for it’s high quality, superb color images, making this camera great for street photography and everyday use.
NIKON COOLPIX S3100 in PINK Sweet! With an instant savings that leaves this camera costing only $99, this is a hot purchase for a point and shoot camera. It has a smart portrait system and is ultra light & thin.
FUJI INSTAX 7S in PINK!
DIVALICIOUS! This fun toy is perfect for instant memories you can stick on your mirror, locker and notebooks. This camera uses Instax Mini film cartridges for pocket-friendly, credit card-sized images. At around $50 you can’t beat having one of these around.
LENSES Having various lenses to play with makes me very giddy. I don’t have a set style, so I love to experiment with different techniques and achieving those techniques requires the right lens. Here are some fun alternatives to typical lenses.
