The things I use and love for my photography business. Equipment, programs, backdrops & studio things, etc.
PHOTOG THINGS
GEAR
01
CAMERA
This is the body I use! I am hoping to upgrade soon, but this is a GREAT camera! Honestly, if this camera had dual card slots I wouldn’t even be considering upgrading.
04
CAMERA BAG
I LOOOOVE my Atlas Supply Co. camera bag. So beautiful, carries all of my necessities. I will say I travel light, but this bag carries my entire camera (body, battery grip, and go-to lens), an additional small lens, by bulky a** flash, my 16″ laptop, my battery chargers, my memory card holder, and can also fit a few other things I may toss in. The only thing I will say is that the water bottle side pocket is 100% useless.
05
Flash Accessories
I am obsessed with my Magmod flash accessories. This is the link for the MagMod MagGrip, which is a magnetic mount base for their accessories. This is needed for their other products, and I so far have gotten the MagMod MagSphere but I plan on eventually getting other products from them as well! It CHANGED my flash game for real for real.
PROGRAMS & PRINTING
Could not and would not run my business without these programs as well as my favorite places to print photos.
01
SITEGROUND MANGED WORDPRESS HOSTING
I know diddly squat about website building, but this is where I started and where I have stayed. They are incredibly helpful, and somehow ya girl has a fully functioning site that I LOVE and feel comfortable using.
02
WEBSITE THEME
Flothemes absolutely changed my life. I purchased the rosemary theme and Wowowow I am never looking back. My website went from bleh to beauty and it makes building your WordPress site incredibly easy. 50/10
03
HONEYBOOK
There are lots of programs out there to help you keep your business organized, but I started with Honeybook and haven’t left. It definitely feels intimidating in the beginning, but that’s because of just how much you really can do with it to streamline your business. With this link you can get 50% off your first year. They are also incredibly helpful anytime you have questions!
04
EDITING
For editing I mostly stick to adobe Lightroom classic, but I also pop photos into photoshop here and there to do some extra editing and also for creating other business related things. I have the monthly photography plan (20GB) and it includes everything I need and more.
THE STUDIO THINGS AND OTHER
While the studio is forever growing and constantly changing, I wanted to link a few things like the backdrops I use as well as a few other fun extras that I use when taking some self portraits and such.
03
RINGLIGHT BUNDLE
I happened upon this ring light bundle and couldn’t stand it up. Includes a small ring light with adjustable settings, two different stands, a phone holder, a bluetooth remote, and a carrying bag. I use this ALL OF THE TIME.
04
RUGS
RUGS USA is my go to for rugs all over my home. I do have one rug in the studio that just so happened to be on a major clearance sale at urban outfitters, but other than that all of my other rugs are from RUGS USA. I mostly get questions about the fluffy rug in the studio, so I’ll link that one here!
