Jo Totes Betsy Chocolate Camera Bag Review
Once I became a Nikon Mom I knew the tough task would be finding an everyday bag that could seamlessly replace my purse. Plus fit my new Nikon camera that comes with my new role as a Nikon Mom. The picky women came out in me; I needed something big enough, but not too big. Something that would match my everyday wear, but still look great hanging on my side. After many Google searches I came across a company that could cross off all my wants, plus was affordable for the everyday mom photographer.
Jo Totes Camera Bags
Narrowing down the style was now the hard part. Jo Totes has many different fashionable looks and stylish ways to carry your camera and lens on your side. Plus they all were something I could see adding to my everyday. I left the choice in the hands of the experts and I asked Jo Totes to surprise me with the style and they picked out the Jo Totes Betsy Chocolate Camera Bag for me.
Jo Totes Betsy Chocolate Camera Bag
In the price range of $109.00 the Betsy Camera Bag by Jo Totes is affordable and meets the needs of my busy mom lifestyle. She has a slim design that is filled with numerous pockets to fill with all of life’s must haves. The Betsy comes with two straps which can be switched out to wear either cross-body or over the shoulder. Although I love the over shoulder look for everyday I have found for long day trips the cross-body straps work best.
The beautiful dark brown exterior is durable faux leather that is wipe-able when needed. Well the interior fabric is a silky light blue cotton is comes with interchangeable interior pads with protective foam sewn through-out. This gives me peace knowing my Nikon is sandwiched between comfort.
Sometimes we need to bring a few extra electronics and the Betsy Camera Bag has room for that too. There is a large laptop sleeve large enough for 13″ laptop or tablet. Plus the zippered front flap and large zippered back pocket will both fit tablets. I love to add some treats for the kids in the two front pockets that close with hidden magnetic snaps.
On route with a busy mom.
I thought it would be fun to take a peek into my Betsy Camera Bag to get an idea of what this busy mama of four is packing.
Please note: we are officially out of the diaper stage or this peek would look a whole lot different.
The best part is there is still room to toss in my tablet, scarf, snack or extra lens if needed that day. What are you packing in your bag?
Carrying my Nikon around with me daily has opened up opportunities to never miss a moment. Yes my smartphone is always on hand but there is something about shooting with a DSLR that I cannot explain. Besides that fact it is obvious the pictures turn out far better.
“Jo Totes makes it easy to be the busy mom behind the lens, capturing life’s memories. Even if photography is a hobby in the making, you can still look stylish waiting for the prefect shot!”
What was the last picture your shot with your camera?
Thank you for reading In R Dream!
(Thank you JoTotes for the opportunity to fall in love with my new stylish camera bag.)
Hi! I’m soooo glad I found your review! I’ve been wanting to get a Jo Totes bag for ages, and the one that caught my attention the most was the Betsy! I’m ordering mine right now! 🙂
Thanks for this review!
A blessed and happy new year to you and your family.

A very nice camera bag, I love that you can use it for not just your camera but you can throw in your wallet and other needs, so you only need the one bag instead of two!!
Beautiful bags! They are wonderful as a camera bag, yet stylish enough to be carried as a purse! Love it 🙂
The last photo I took was of my mom and I at the theatre
Pictures from my trip to Quebec City
Never been. How was it?
The last picture I took was a sunset after a fun filled weekend wedding a week ago.
haha My bag looks pretty identical to the above picture 😉 My last picture which I shot today was my daughter at the park eating a peach under a tree <3
Just love this bag! I love photography and always carry a camera or 2 with me! The last picture i shot was yesterday , I love Macro photography and took some of my birthday bouquet of sunflowers! up close and personal pics!
Love the look and sound of this bag! It would be great for outings with the camera or just as an everyday purse! Thanks for the review!
What a gorgeous and functional bag. The last photo that I took was of my little guy sleeping.
The last picture I took was of my grandkids who are great subjects. The bag definitely can hold a lot of stuff which would be perfect for me.
Love the bag!!! Just what I need with 3 kiddies in tow lots of storage space 🙂
The Jo Totes bag is wonderful! The last picture I took with my camera was of flowers in my yard.
What a beautiful looking bag and I’m amazed at all that you can keep in it!
Wonderful to see camera bags that don’t look like camera bags!
I really like the bag. It’s very sleek looking. I find camera bags tend to be chunky, but this one is lovely.
this tote bag is amazing, it holds so many items and I love the little pouches at the front for fast & easy access
Those are where my lip balm goes 🙂
Thanks for your review on this bag! Du you know if a 70-200 f2.8 fits in the bag? I doesn´t need to be attached to the camera. /Anna
Hi Anna,
I would have to say yes it will fit. There is lots of room inside 🙂
WOW,Thats a great looking bag!
ohhhhhhh! I love that bag. As a #NikonMom I think I need one too. I’m off to check out their selection. The bag looks great on you and I love how much fits in it. I have a preschooler, toddler and a newborn and we’re definitely still in the diaper phase, so this would be great.
The last picture I shot with my Nikon DSLR is our weekend up north at cottage country during the Thanksgiving weekend. The colours were soooo beautiful and it was great to spend so much time outdoors.
Thats a great looking bag! I always wish I had brought more lenses when I am out and about, but I never want to carry them around.
That bag is beautiful and just my size! I don’t have a dslr, but would still love to turn this camera bag into my everyday purse.
So glad you got to try the Jo Totes brand for yourself! And glad that you loved them too! 🙂
