Canon EOS R6 – This camera body has impressive focus and captures colors so well.
Canon Mount Adapter EF – This ring adaptor makes my camera body compatible with any EF lens.
Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art DG HSM Lens – This lens is incredible for shooting everything from portraits to lifestyle content to tools-of-the-trade details shots. I also use the Sigma 35mm 1.4 art lens and the Canon 85mm 1.4 lens.
Foto Saddle Camera Strap – This pebble leather strap is super stylish and keeps my camera secure during all my shoots.
JJC 36 Slots Memory Card Case – This case is definitely one of my brand photographer must-haves! I always have two of these in my bag, one for empty cards and one for full, used ones.
Camrola Auto Tracking Tripod Phone Mount – This tripod phone mount is great for capturing all my behind-the-scenes content.
Apple USB-C to SD Card Reader – This reader doesn’t block my other ports and lets me transfer photos really quickly.
ExpoDisc Professional White Balance Filter – I use this filter to help me achieve perfect white balance right out of the camera. This is one of my brand photographer must-haves because it saves me so much time editing for white balance in post.
Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT – This off-camera flash works with my camera to help me get incredible shots even in complicated lighting environments.
Neewer 43 Inch 5-in-1 Light Reflector – Sturdy, versatile, and portable, this is an excellent addition to any brand photographer’s camera bag.
Coideal Heavy Duty Clothespins – These strong clips can be used for anything. You never know when you might need one during a shoot!
Flint Retractable Lint Roller – Compact and convenient, you can throw this lint roller in your bag without it sticking to anything. Have your client’s back and get those stray pet hairs before the camera catches them.
JBL Clip 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker – This speaker has great sound for such a small device. There is nothing like a little music to set the tone of a session and help your clients get comfortable.
