From Cameras to Accessories: A Peek Inside My Photography Kit
Ever wondered what’s inside a photographer’s camera bag? In this episode, I’m giving you a full behind-the-scenes look at the cameras and accessories I have, why I love them, and how they might help you in your own photography journey!
From my very first DSLR to my latest mirrorless upgrade, I’ll share what each camera offers and why I still keep them around.
Plus, we’ll chat about must-have accessories—some I use all the time, and some I intended to use but, well… let’s just say, good intentions don’t always pan out!
This is also our last episode before a short two-week Easter break, so be sure to tune in and get your photography fix before we return with our all about lenses episode!

📸 The cameras I’ve used over the years—from my first DSLR to my go-to mirrorless model.
🎒 What’s inside my camera bag, including my favorite accessories and why they’re game-changers.
