MY CAMERA & LENSES
One of the questions I get most often is which camera and lenses I use! You’ll see I’m a prime girl (lenses that have a fixed focal length) all the way, because they’re incredibly sharp and allow me to get that beautiful bokeh. I also feel because you have to physically move around with a prime, you’re always find new perspectives and angles! Check out the lenses I have in my camera bag below - the buttons take you to more info about that lens on Amazon.
MY OTHER RANDOM
TOOLS & ACCESSORIES
I use my Expodisc to set a custom white balance because it saves me so much time in editing! Although the brand of memory card isn’t important to me, I want to make sure I have one that is “fast” enough to write quickly so I don’t have to wait for the camera to catch up when taking action shots! My reflector and speedlight don’t often see the light of day, but they are handy for getting the light right in certain situations….
THE SOFTWARE I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT FOR
PHOTO EDITING
The Photography Plan from Adobe contains ALL the photography software you will ever need (and for a steal price of just $10 a month!). I use Lightroom Classic as my main “hub” for culling, managing and sharing my photos, and it’s where I do about 95% of my edits. I then take some into Photoshop for advanced editing / pixel adjustments. If you’re just getting started with Lightroom Classic, grab our Lightroom Starter Kit, and when you’re ready to get more advanced, check out our free training!! You’ll find all the links below.

Tools for New Photographers
Wondering what you need to get started in photography? After you have chosen your DSLR or mirrorless camera, I would suggest that you upgrade from the kit lens that came with your camera, and get something like the 50mm f1.8 lens. This is the almost universal upgrade lens, because they are quick to focus, open up to a nice wide aperture to let in lots of light (great for low light scenes) and give you nice background blur. Plus they are (relatively!) inexpensive. Apart from tha, all you’ll need is a memory card, and ideally, a white balance tool - a cheap and cheerful grey card does the job perfectly! Just click on the buttons below to find out more about each one on Amazon.
