Great bag! holds 2-3 of my lenses and my camera body. I can also carry my flash and battery pack! Being a crossbody allows me to easily access and switch lenses or grab tools as needed.
I have always been a Canon girl. This was my first mirrorless full frame body and I am obsessed.
Keepin it simple with a white backdrop! Easy peasy, hangs like a shower curtain on the backdrop kit, easy to clean. Used for headshots and some simple photos of kids!
I love this steamer! The cord is long enough to reach when I’m on the go and need to get the wrinkles out of my backgrounds. Super easy to use and quick to heat up.
This is such a great addition to my camera bag! It allows me to use some of my older lenses from college on my new camera body.
A reflector is the simplest way to bounce light into those shadows.
One stop shop for a quick easy PORTABLE backdrop kit! Just add sand for the sandbags and you are ready to go! I love this kit and have used it for simple headshots or creative sessions!
This has got to be one of my favorite lenses! Beautiful creamy backgrounds with portraits, stunning close ups of products, it can do it all!
I LOVE my Owala water bottle! Keeps my water cold, is durable and super cute color combos!
Nifty 50! 50mm lens is a classic lens for any photographers toolkit. 50mm is similar to what the human eye sees.
