Camera Gear

70 – 2OO mm F2.8

This is my bread-and-butter lens! The 70 – 200 is the first lens I grab at each session and I couldn’t imagine a shoot without it. This is a massive lens but because of its size there is more compression and with compression comes gorgeous blurry backgrounds. The 70 – 200 is extremely versatile and is great for both portraits and sports.

24-70 mm F2.8

This is the “small spaces” lens! If you are shooting indoors and need a wider-angle lens this is the lens for you. The 24-70 is a wide-angle lens that has less distortion than other wide angle lenses. This is also a great starter lens.

35 mm F1.2

I LOVE THIS LENS! Friends, if you are wanting to add a great addition to your camera bag this is it! The 35 mm has an artsy and sharp feel and will include more background because it has less compression. This lens also sings with detail shots and close up artsy like work. It is also a wider angle lens that is great for small spaces.

Macro

Although amazing I would recommend purchasing this lens after investing in other portrait lenses. But with that being said… This lens is spectacular for those close-up detail shots. The macro has great compression and will create that sought after bokeh effect in your backgrounds. Invest in this lens later in your career!

50 mm F1.2

This is THE most used lens by wedding photographers and is also extremely versatile. The 50 mm is great for portraits and detail shots. If you are struggling on what lens to buy first this is the one! The 50 mm is a great investment and will remain in your camera bag for years.

5D Mark III

The Canon 5d Mark III is my go to camera body! I own two of these camera bodies and have been using it for years. The 5D Mark III has a warmer feel to it that has become my style over the years. Although this is an older camera is a great one!

5D Mark IV

My arch nemesis…. Hahaha yep I said it! I bought this camera about a year ago and have been slightly struggling with it’s more cool toned style. Although, this camera has some really cool features like Wi-Fi capability and a touch screen. This is an incredible camera and is what I would recommend to all up and coming photographers.
