I photograph events and document real and meaningful stories. Check out my gear!
I love my Nikon camera!
Nikon D3500 w/ AF-P DX 18-55mm VR
Great lens for closer shots and to obtain that pretty shallow depth of field.
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens
This is my favorite lens! I love being able to step back from my subjects and give them some breathing room, but still get close, detailed shots!
Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Zoom Lens AF
I have the floral peony design and it is SO pretty! It's also VERY comfortable and I can wear it for a few hours taking photos and feel fine. The compartments are adjustable, too, and hold everything I need.

Always charge your battery before your shoot, but it's not a bad idea to bring the charger to the shoot, too!
Nikon Camera Battery Charger
I always have extra batteries for my speedlight.
Duracell Coppertop AA Batteries, 20 Count
I bring music to my photo shoots and these clip-on bluetooth speakers are awesome!
JBL Clip 4 | Ultra-portable Waterproof Speaker
This is a must-have to transfer photos from your SD card!
SD Card Reader
I think it's always good to get as many gigabytes as you can, just so you can take tons of photos without having to constantly transfer them.
SD Card 256 GB
I use this speedlight in darker situations, like dimly-lit rooms or night photos. If you're new to flash, there are a lot of YouTube videos that will help you with settings and technique.
Nikon 4814 SB-500 AF Speedlight (Black)
I don't think this is my exact external hard drive brand, but it looks similar and is a nice way to back up your files.
WD 2TB Blue My Passport Ultra USB 3.0
My go-to for editing professional photos!
Adobe Lightroom Classic
Never forget your fully-charged battery! A backup battery isn't a bad idea either!
