Just as I have once searched, I am now sharing with y’all the things that I bring to my portrait sessions.  I am actually super excited about sharing this with you for a huge reason – I have some new items that I have added!

With every photographers equipment collection comes with what they carry everything in.  This is where I am beyond stoked to introduce to you my new Kelly Moore bag!  Mine is the Songbird style in Cobalt blue – my favorite color!  I am in absolute love with this bag!!  I love that it looks like a purse and I can use it as one too!

The Bag!

My Portrait Gear

– Canon 5d Mark iii.  I don’t even know where to begin to explain to you how much I love this camera body.  Totally in love!
– Canon 24-105 f/4L.  This is always in my bag but I break it out occasionally for my portrait sessions.  Great lens though!
– Canon 85m f/1.8.   The bokeh that this lens creates is wonderful!  This lens was seriously on my camera 90% of the time for portraits.  Well, that is until I just got this next lens listed!  Makes choosing my favorite lens in my bag super tough!
– Sigma 35mm f/1.4. I am in absolute awe with how amazing this lens is!  All I have to say is, if you don’t have it either buy it or rent it.  You won’t be disappointed!
–  Canon 43oEX II Speedlight. I shoot mainly with natural light so this is typically a backup in case it is a bit too dark.
– [Pro]Master Reflector Disc.  Whenever I need a little fill light I prefer the reflector over the flash.

Some other things I carry in my bag are: Tripod, Gary Fong Lightsphere, extra memory cards, extra batteries, wireless shutter release, wireless speedlight trigger to use my flash off camera, lens cleaner, and chapstick.  I also like to keep some bobby pins, hair ties, and safety pins for my clients in case they end up needing them.

I like to purchase my gear from B & C Camera, a local camera store here in Las Vegas.  I love to support the small businesses.  Another place I like to purchase from is B&H Photo, Video & Pro Audio.

Welp, there you have it, you have officially got the scoop on what I like to carry with me to my portrait sessions.  Hope this has been beneficial and helpful for you!
