Hello Fellow Photographer…
I love helping other photographers succeed and learn a skill that can help them go off on their own and quit the 9-5 madness. Don’t get me wrong… if you’re successful, during peak season you could spend more than 40 hours a week working but only if you want to. You OWN your time and your schedule. This page is to help you get there and hopefully simplify the process so you’re enjoying your new found freedom and independence.
What’s in my bag…
Stick with me kid.. I’ll keep your bag lite but well equipped to get the job done and done extraordinarily well. :)
Canon EOS R6 is the best canon camera canon has made in my opinion. As someone who has been a full time photographer for over 15 years now I’ve been around the block with all the gear. And besides the fact that it can be overwhelming to know where to start… add on top the crazy amounts of gear out there that is well… not necessary.
My lens collection in photos
Again, my goal is to keep my bag lite and mighty so I will typically only toggle between 2-3 lenses for each session. I love all of these lenses that helped me get the images you see below but if I had to pick only 2 then you want to go with one wide and one standard lens, something with a shallow depth of field. I only use prime lenses (fixed focal length) to get a crisp sharp image.

Business Tools
I’m a product junkie. I LOVE streamlining my process so I minimize my work load and after trying just about all the
most popular photography software and CRM’s out there these are by far the best!
If you’re wondering at what stage of your business you need a CRM it’s now! Don’t wait, you’ll be glad you had a way of managing all your leads right from the start. It also makes you look like a pro even if you’re a beginner. I live and breath by my Honeybook Business Management Software. I’ve tried Tave, Dubsado, Usessions and a few others and nothing compares to how robust yet simple Honeybook is. There is a learning curve for all the platforms but once you dig around a bit it’s super easy. I will soon be offering 1 on 1 Honeybook set up coaching so sign up below if you’re interested.
