Photography, Photography 101

What’s in our bag?

People ask us what equipment we use or where we get our products we use, so here’s a blog post about it!

Canon 5D Mark III – This is our baby…it’s kind of like another child 😉  When we first saw it and had it in our hands, we were in love!  This is definitely an upgrade from what we first started off with.  When we first started photography, we had the Canon 50D and the Canon Rebel XSi (we no longer have the Canon Rebel XSi or the 50D).

This is a full frame camera and once you go full frame, you won’t go back to a non full frame camera.  Just sayin!  😉   The Mark III has a lot of focus points unlike the Mark II which is a definite plus.  Another nice thing is the silent shutter…it’s not completely silent, but it’s fairly ‘soft’ which is better than the usual shutter sound.  The best part about this camera is the high ISO.  We can go up to 3000 if we need to without even hesitating.  This camera cost us an arm and a leg, BUT it SO worth every penny!

Canon 50mm 1.2 – This is one yummy {and expensive} lens!  You’ll start to notice that photography is an expensive profession 😉   This lens is worth every penny though!  This is great for any type of session… newborns, kids, families, seniors, and weddings!

Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS L – The only time we use this lens is during weddings…mostly during the ceremony and reception.  Just to warn you, this baby is the ‘big mac’ of the lenses!  IT is heavy!  The first time I used this at a wedding, I felt like I needed to go to the chiropractor!  😉  You will also be surprised on how sweet the images look when using this lens.  You can still get that nice blurry background!

Canon 85mm 1.8  – It’s a tight shot but my goodness, the bokah is ah-mazing!

Canon 35mm 1.4 – This is our wide angle lens.  The one thing we like about this lens is that it’s not SO wide that it distorts the edges.  Some wide angle lenses distorts the edges so much that if you’re photographing the whole wedding party, the people at the ends look like giants!

This is the perfect lens for photographing the whole wedding party, families, or any big groups.  We also use this to photograph details like the wedding dress, ceremony location, reception location, overview of the centerpiece, etc.  We also have used this for family sessions!  Again, there’s no distortion that the far away shots just look awesome.

580 EX Speedlite Flash – When we need more light, we use this flash!

Fuji X-T1 with the 23mm 1.4 or 35mm 1.4 – We use this camera to take pictures of our home, detail shots, or typical everyday images.  This is a great camera to bring along when we want something small and not so bulky/heavy.  It’s also great for vacations!

Jo Totes Gracie {Butterscotch} – Cecilia – I actually use this as a purse and a laptop/camera bag!

Kelly Moore Collins {Sand Canvas} – Niña – I use this as my diaper bag and camera bag!

Ona Bowery {Antique Cognac} – Niña – I use this when I don’t have the kids with me!  

Macbook Pro – Where all the magic happens 😉

    By chance have you sold this?!

    4. Canon 50mm 1.4

    This is a great starter lens! If you’re getting serious with photography, we recommend this lens. The price is reasonable and it takes great pictures. Anyone interested? We’re selling ours for $330!

    Do you still have the Canon 50mm 1.4 and the Canon 50D? I know this is an old post but I thought I’d ask 😉

Thanks for 200k followers! Did you know that I worked for a big four accounting firm right after  college, became a photographer, then a stay at home mom, and now a blogger/influencer? Never thought posting pictures of my house consistently would lead to opportunities and this career path.  Love how I can be creative, and I’m surprised that I’m actually good at it. 😂 Now let’s get to 500k…I might be retired by the time I get there 🤭. Swipe left to see a throwback screenshot of when I only had 500 followers…that was in 2015!

If I manifest it, do you think I’d get my own product line? 😂 I don’t even know why I posed like this, but when I saw this image I’m like I’m posing like those are my products 🤪. Someday!

@nwilliams_82 and I celebrated 16 years of marriage on May 20th!  I was saying to Nick a lot that morning "well, this is 16 years"... waking up to a kid between us in bed, Bash third wheeling our breakfast date, talking about how we have a teenager now and that our youngest is going to be in 1st grade next year, celebrated our anniversary at 2 baseball games...yup this is 16 years, and I love the life we have.  The last 16 years haven't always been easy or perfect, but we've learned a lot and grown from all the obstacles.  I'm going to end it with something that came up...thanks for putting up with how I turn on the hallway or closet lights when I'm ready to get into bed knowing that it'll wake you up.  I can't help I'm a scaredy cat. ;-) 😘
