GEAR
Double Camera Harness - HERE
If you’re shooting weddings, or on-location shoots - a harness can come in really handy. There are so many out there, and there will be lots of sales on Black Friday.
WD Hard Drive - HERE
A lot of photographers swear by the WD Hard Drives. Often on sale during this time of year too! Can never have too many backups of your images.
Lacie Hard Drive - HERE
Lacie hard drives are easily portable if you want a on-the-go backup solution.
SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Card - HERE
Gotta love some Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards. This is the time to stock up on cards!
Card Carrying Case - HERE:
I loveeeed my card carrying cases when I was shooting regularly. I had a few of these and they are very sturdy & sealed, so I felt comfortable shooting outside or traveling with them.
MacBook Pro - HERE
Apple doesn’t go on sale very often, so this is the time to check if you are looking to upgrade laptops. They are essential for on the go editing! And very light if you are traveling. I use mine all the time and love it.
OFFICE
Viral TikTok Colorful Keyboard - HERE
I got this after seeing it on TikTok and it’s SUCH a cute & fun addition to your office. It comes in a lot of colors and wireless matching mouse.
2 TB Harddrive - HERE
Including another hard drive option here because you can never have too many as a photographer!
Desk Fan - HERE
This desk fan is a lifesaver, especially in the warm months (I live in Texas, so this is 90% of our year). It’s rechargeable and portable, making it also usable for photo shoots and travel. 10/10 recommend.
Walking Pad - HERE
I get questions about this walking pad/treadmill every time I post a story & it’s in the background. It’s a great addition to any office, especially if you’re like me and don’t like sitting still for too long. It can go slow enough that editing is a breeze while walking.
Laptop Pad for Couch - HERE
For the days you just want to curl up and watch Netflix while you edit or answer emails - this adjustable laptop pad is a MUST on your Black Friday Wish List.
TRAVEL
Travel Tripod - HERE
If you travel a lot for weddings or for shoots, this is a must. No need to check a bag for your tripod anymore! It’s so compact and perfect to strap to your carryon so you can keep all your gear with you on the plane.
Travel Neck Pillow - HERE
Another must for those red eye flights after long wedding weekends, a comfy neck pillow to make sure you can get a little sleep in before getting home. This is our favorite!
Collapsable Water Bottle - HERE
Nothing worse than carrying a giant empty water bottle after going through security. A collapsible water bottle is so perfect to be able to collapse small and put in your carryon during your airport stay.
Liquid IV - HERE
A must for everyday to stay hydrated and healthy but especially on long travel days and wedding days. They’re so easy to pack in your camera bag for weddings!
JUST FOR FUN
Camera Lens Coffee Mug - HERE
A fun little desk accessory. We love these coffee mugs that fit right in to your photographer workspace.
OUTFITS
Lululemon belt bag for the batteries/sd cards etc - HERE
Y’all, these belt bags are trending for a reason. They are the best accessory to cary all the essentials. Perfect for wedding days and shoot days as well - hold your SD card case, extra batteries, phone, and keys and you’re set for the day!
Black Jumpsuit - HERE
We all know a good black jumpsuit is the best photographer uniform and we also know, you may need an additional jumpsuit to add in to the closet for some variety. This is such a cute one!
Lulu Leggings Dupe - HERE
Another favorite options for office days and casual shoot days are a good pair of black leggings. These are lulu dupes that feel JUST like the real lululemons!
EDUCATION/SUBSCRIPTIONS:
Audible - HERE
Everyone is getting really into reading lately right? Our team has! We love to listen to a good audiobook throughout the week as we are working and an audible subscription is so nice for that!
The Legal Paige - HERE
Teaching you the legal way to run your business with all the contract templates you need.
Dawn Charles Presets - HERE
Our favorite presets in the industry. They’re amazing!
