My Favourite Tools for Lighting
Studio Light
I’ve been using these studio lights for years now and absolutel love how much they resemble window light.
Travel Light
Having a light that packs up nicely, fits in small corners and provides amply light in dark spaces is a real game changer.
Reflector
Reflectors are that extra step if you have a second pair of hands or another stand. Being able to bounce light back into shadows makes a huge difference.
My Favourite Camera Gear
Canon Rebel Camera
I started with the Canon Rebel Series – it was the perfect starting camera as I learned how to increase my skill and knowledge.
85mm Lens
Most cameras come with a kit lens of 18-55mm which is great, but having a little extra zoom can go a long way.
Camera/Phone Tripod
Tripods are fundamental to any photography whether phone or camera. Having a steady surface allows for brighter exposure when the light is dim.
Portable charger
You never know when you equipment is going to suddenly use more battery than expected or be without access to a plug. Having a back up power source brings peace of mind.

My Favourite Tools for Editing and Storage
Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe is my go to for all things photo and video. I’ve been using their programs since 2010 and will continue to do so.
Sync.com
Sync is my favourite file back up storage. It is Canadian encrypted and I know my files are safe. I also love that they back up automaticaly even if I am not sitting at my computer.

Canva is perfect for design especially when starting out. There are so many templates to choose from if you’re not ready to fully design something yourself.
