Essentials for My Photography Business

WHAT’S IN MY CAMERA BAG…

  • 2 Canon R5 Camera Bodies (I always have a back up body, just in case anything happens to my main body.)

  • 2 Canon Adapters for EF Lenses

  • 135mm Sigma Art (this is my main lens for both horse and dog portraits) 

  • 70-200 RF 70-200mm f/2.8 (this is my main lens for all action shots)

  • 85mm Sigma Art (backup option to my 135mm, but hardly used)

  • 50mm Sigma Art (occasionally used for dog shoots for client requesting wider angle shots)

  • 35mm Sigma Art (used to fine art product shots)

  • Four Canon Batteries (I can go a full day on 2-3 batteries, but I always like to have backups!)

  • 16 SANDISK 128GB 200/mbs SD Cards 

  • Kiorafoto Card Holder

  • 3 Lens Cloths

  • Ulanzi Hot Shoe Phone Mount 

  • Meta Glasses 

  • Lowepro ProTactic camera bag

THE OFFICE ESSENTIALS…

  • 24” iMac (This is my office computer.)

  • 14” MacBook Pro (This is my main computer that I take when I travel or want to work outside of the office.)

  • Lacie 5tb Rugged Hard Drives (I usually will go through 2-3 of these in 1 year.)

  • Beats Headphones (for when I need music, podcasts, or audiobooks when I edit.)

  • Loop earplugs (for when travel gets to be too loud and it’s difficult for me to focus)

EDITING SOFTWARE…

  • Adobe Photoshop + Camera Raw (All of my editing is done through these programs.)

  • Adobe Bridge (I use this for file management and organization)

  • Screenshot (I use this for recording edits for reels and educational tutorials)


THE BUSINESS ORGANIZATION…

  • HoneyBook (My CRM system where I keep my schedule, email contracts and invoices, and correspond with clients. Here’s my referral link if you’re interested in Honeybook! https://share.honeybook.com/jesse89745)

  • Pixieset (This is where my online galleries are delivered to clients, and where they can make fine art purchases.)

  • Squarespace (My website - what you’re on now!)
