FILM CAMERAS
The BEST 35mm film camera - I use this at every photoshoot. She's best in manual mode so make sure you have experience with iso, shutter speed, and aperture settings.
Canon EOS 1N
The viral Polaroid that uses peel apart film. I use expired film with the camera. Specifically the fujifilm fp100c - this film is no longer in production so you'll have to find the film and purchase it second hand. A dream when you can find them thou...
Polaroid 600se

Camera bags are a NO for me. I use this pelican case to keep my equipment safe and organized. This case is also the perfect size for a carry on (hello travel photographers!)
Keep your gear safe!

My favorite medium format film camera. This film camera actually has the option between digital images and film images. If you want to shoot film, you'll need a film back. If you want digital, you'll need a digital back!
Hasselblad H4X
My favorite medium format lens! This 68mm lens feels a lot like a 55mm lens camera if you are using a full frame 35mm camera.
Hasselblad HC 67mm - The Lens I use on my H4X
This is the film back I use for my medium format camera (hasselblad h4x) You can purchase a digital back for that camera also - if you want digital photos. I prefer film but its cool you can use both!
Hasselblad H4X 120 FILM BACK
This is the easiest 35mm camera I've ever used. This is GREAT for beginners. It has a built in flash. Keep this camera on auto - you are good to go!
35mm Point and Shoot
This is the lens I use on my EOS 1. I personally love leaving mine @ 1.2. Give me ALL the bokeh (:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM
The best 35mm film camera. This camera is my go to for 35mm film.
Canon EOS 1
BEGINNER FRIENDLY - before spending a ton of money on a film camera.. I would suggest playing around with one of these and getting it developed somewhere you like! Learn about film developing studios and get your eye used to the smaller viewfinder - ...
Disposable Camera
FILM STOCK
This film stock is DREAMY - I love the colors. This is my favorite film to use when using the flash. If you are photographing anything at night with the flash - use Kodak Gold! Great for wedding receptions.
Kodak Gold 35mm
This film is no longer being made so its very rare and always expired. Make sure to store the film in the fridge to keep it cool. This helps extend the life of the chemicals used for each photo.
Fujifilm FP - 100C (for the Polaroid 600se)
The peel apart film for my polaroid 600se - this film is black and white.
FujiFilm FP-3000B
I like using this film for wedding portraits. I prefer the 800 for some extra grain.
Kodak Portra 400
DEVELOP + SCAN
This is my go to! The develop + scan film.
Fromex Photo & Digital
DIGITAL CAMERAS
My go to lens for my digital camera - she is giving me early onset arthritis but she's CRISP and the perfect focal length. You can get a quick wide angle shot and then quickly zoom in for that detailed close up. I never take her off.
Canon RF 28-70mm F2
My digital camera. I chose the R5 instead of the R6 because it was quicker for me. The R6 offers a higher megapixel BUT its a little slower because of it and I can't stand it. I photograph children and candid weddings so I need the quickness. It shoo...
Canon EOS R5 Body
