A classic app to build inspiration for styling, posing, and themes. I often use Pinterest's “more ideas” feature within boards to gather more inspo.

I use Milanote to organize moodboards and share them seamlessly with my team. I love it because you can use pre-sets to organize your board or build your board from scratch (like I do). 
You can add photos, notes, tables, colour swatches (with automatic hex codes), links, and more. You can share boards with others super easily and they don't need to have Milanote to view the board, Oh also  it's free!

(FREE) Cosmos is a total hidden gem for curating moodboards. I like it because you can search by hex codes, or you can import an image with colours for cosmos to use as a reference point. It's great for finding ambiance or “vibe” photos. 

I also like that every image Cosmos uses is linked to its original source.

Shoe covers are great for keeping your backgrop clean and scuff free. They are also great for keeping rented shoes in pristine condition when not being used in a shot.

A great roller bag for transporting garments. If you have a large suitcase, this works just as well. (bonus that. this bag is also great for everyday grocery shopping)

The last thing you want is makeup to transfer onto the garments you're styling. These face coverings are a life saver for making sure that does not happen!
