Main camera and lens for YouTube videos and Instagram photos:

The main camera I’ve used since 2016 and it shoots stunning photos. Although it is heavy for vlogging, it shoots beautiful cinematic 4K videos and the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, perfect for professional use.

Having great quality audio is important to any video!

Vlog Camera

I’m always on the hunt for the BEST compact vlogging set up. I purchased this February 2020 and find it difficult to use in low light because of the f/4 lens. I do love the wide framing and 4k capability of the Canon M50.

IGTV & TikTok Camera Gear

Vinyl Backdrop

I love these vinyl backdrops, they’re light weight and super portable. I’ve always struggled with finding the perfect location for a flatlay but these backdrops make shooting content so much easier! I’ve had mine for 4 years and it’s held up very well! I have a 5x7 and would recommend something larger if you plan to shoot video.
