I often get asked these questions...

• What kind of camera do you use?  
• What type of lenses do you use?  
• Do you ever use flash?  

So today I'm sharing what's in my camera bag(s)

I actually have several camera bags.  The biggest camera bag I own is my House of Flynn Evermore.   It can hold a lot of gear as it is a pretty roomy bag and super cute, too! 

I also have a Lowepro Passport Sling DSLR Camera Bag that I wear during my shoots.  It's lightweight and can hold a couple of lenses in case I need to switch out mid-session.  Not very cute but REALLY functional.

I've been strictly a Canon girl up until recently and I own two Canon cameras. The Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera and the Canon 7D Mark II DSLR Camera.  A few months ago, I purchased the Sony A7iii.  It has become my main camera for portraits.  I now use the Mark IV for video and the 7D is my backup camera.

These are the lenses that I own:

• Sigma Art 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens
• Sigma Art85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens
• Sigma Art 50mm F1.4 Art DG HSM Lens
• Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS Telephoto Lens
• Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Wide Angle Lens
• Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Fisheye Lens

My favorite lens that I own and the one I use most often is my Sigma Art 135mm.   I used to own the Canon version of this lens but it was too soft for me.  I sold it and bought the Sigma and have been very happy with it.  It's super sharp and the bokeh is amazing.  I love the look of the Canon 200mm but it is very impractical and so heavy!  I use it occasionally if I have only one subject or possibly two.   I find myself reaching for my 135mm much more often.  Lately, I have been enjoying my 50mm for family shoots to capture more of that lifestyle feeling.

Other things in my bag...

• Gray Card for setting a custom white balancer 
• 42x48 reflector
• Hoodman 64GB SDXC RAW Steel Class 10 UHS-1Memory Card
• Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT 
• Westcott Rapid Box 26" Octa Speedlite Kit

I have just discovered the Hoodman memory cards and they have a very good reputation for being the most reliable memory cards on the market.  They are more expensive but I don't mind paying for the higher quality.  If you've ever had a memory card corrupt, then you know where I'm coming from!  

I do own the off-camera flash setup listed above but I honestly rarely use it.  Every now and then I will use it during a senior session.  I would like to use it more but it doesn't come second nature to me yet.

And that's what in my bag!  I hope I answered all of your questions but, if not, feel free to shoot me an email.
