Must-Have Accessories for Photographers
Fanny Pack/Belt Bag
This is an absolute essential for me, especially on wedding days! It’s great to throw a few extra batteries and your memory card case in so you can have them close by without having to lug your heavy camera bag around the whole day. As photographers, we have to try and save our back/neck whenever we can!
Phone Mount for Camera
I’m still waiting for this one to come in the mail, but I honestly can’t believe it has taken me this long to order. I already know this will become a crucial part of my sessions. I love getting behind the scenes clips from my sessions but hate pulling my phone out mid shoot, and half the time, I can hardly remember to anyway. This will allow me to record video on my phone while taking photos with my camera, but can also be flipped around to play a fun show or something to grab the kiddos attention during your family session.
Portable Changing Tent
If you do a lot of outdoor shoots, you know that typically there aren’t any bathrooms nearby to change in. This is a great product to bring to your session so your clients can have a more comfortable changing area than their car.
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Bringing this portable speaker to your sessions is a great way to create a more relaxed, fun and laid back environment for your seniors, couples and even family. Who doesn’t want their favorite music artist playing while getting their photos taken? This comes in lots of fun colors too!
Camera Umbrella
This little gadget is perfect wedding days and rainy shoot days when you’re not able to reschedule and need to protect your camera from the rain.
Universal Lens Cap
If you’re anything like me, it’s a common occurrence to take off your lens cap at the beginning of your shoot and put it in your pocket, never to be seen again. I’ve lost countless lens caps over the years and have been too lazy to order more for my specific lens sizes, so this universal one is a game changer. It fits so many different lenses.
External Hard Drive Pouch/Holder for Laptop
This product is another recent discovery of mine and it’s perfect for keeping your hard drive handy, close by, and safe from falls. I’m sure my fellow photographer friends can understand the frustration of accidentally unplugging your hard drive while moving your laptop.
Memory Card Case
In my opinion, it’s nice to always have couple size options on hand; one that holds all of your cards and one that can fit in your fanny pack or pocket on wedding days, so I’ve linked a few great options below.
