Nikon D610
My back up camera body and the body I use to shoot all the video in my business including my YouTube Videos!
Nikon 70-200mm 2.8
My go to lens for ceremonies and to get that dreamy compression and make background distractions disappear.
Nikon 50mm 1.4
I believe every photographer should have a 50mm lens. It's light, has sharp focus, and super affordable!
Nikon 60mm Macro
Before I had much money, I decided to get this macro instead of the 105mm and I absolutely LOVE it.
Nikon 85mm 1.4
Favorite portrait lens. Dreamy bokeh. If I could shoot on this all day I Would.
Nikon 24-70mm 2.8
The most versatile lens in my bag. Great for family formals and group shots!
Genaray Video Light
Great for dark reception detail shots like the cake and also must-have for sparkler exits.
Westcott Umbrella
White shoot-through umbrella for my off camera flash set up to soften the light.
