I thought it would be fun to share what is in my Photography Bag. A lot of people ask me what I shoot with and what lenses I prefer, so here you go. This is my travel Lowepro backpack, I strictly use this on plane flights as I can never separate from my camera equipment and this backpack fits in the overhead compartments.Getting ready to fly and shoot 2 weddings and 12 photo shoots in 5 days, which has become a usual occurrence for me. So here is how I pack my bag to travel. I will be writing a follow up blog soon on how to travel with your equipment and keep your images safe! Since I have become more of a destination photographer, I have shot in different countries and regularly shoot out of state. Traveling with your equipment and already shot images can be very tricky and you need to be prepared for the worst case scenarios! While shooting I like to use my Kelley Moore bag if I have an assistant, and I prefer my Thinktank which is handy for all my lenses when I shoot alone and have no assistant.

What I shoot With:

Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 5D‘s as Backup
Zoom Lens 70-200 2.8 ~ Most Preferred 
Zoom Lens 70-200 4.0 ~Backup, Used for Travel
Overall Lens 24-105 4.0 ~Larger Group Shots
Macro 100 mm 2.8 ~For rings and close ups
Wide Angle 14mm Fisheye ~Room and Venue shots
2- 580EX II Flashes
Gary Fong Whales Tale~ Have shot with it for years and cant shoot without it.

Not Pictured: Canon 50mm, Think Tank easy shoot waist bag, Kelly Moore Bag, Over 100GB of Chip Space, plenty of camera batteries and chargers

I love this shoot I did of this cute family in Boise!!! I don’t typically shoot to much in Boise as all of my clients are in Orange County, but Kelly with Cherished Images is also a fellow photographer and we swapped family shoots. Neither of us had had a family shoot in years…..We are like Plumbers with leaky faucets. 🙂 I had a great time shooting at this old condemned oil factory off the beaten path and next to the Boise River, so we were able to shoot at both locations just steps away. There will be a follow up blog of Kelly’s images of my family very soon. Thanks for a great time and beautiful images!

Here is your chance to order your Wedding Album that you did not include in your wedding package at the best price ever!!! These flushmount wedding albums are simply amazing! We do all custom design of your favorite wedding photos, so your album is unique to your wedding. The albums come in 10×10 and 12×12 and start at (15) page or (30) sides. My album studio is having a sale, and I am extending the offer of 25% off any album ordered by December 1st, including any upgrades. If you want to have the album in time for Christmas to surprise your spouse the images must be received by November 11th, which is only a week away. All I need is your approximately 100 images, or 150 for a (20) page. The album does not have to be paid in full, you can put down a deposit of your choice and the albums usually take 4-8 weeks depending on how many changes you want in the design and how diligent you are in getting back to us to send it to print. So you can save up or make payments if you don’t have extra right now. These albums sell upwards towards $1,200 to $2,500 in studios…..but I am starting these gorgeous flush mount albums at less then half of most studios. Again, all I need to get your Wedding Album design started is your top 100 images and a deposit as low as $100. Below is a sample of a recent design. They can be simple or intricate. The album below happens to be intricate, as there were a lot of details to this particular wedding, and this album was one of the biggest.  Also, anyone can order as long as you own your images. Please inquire on how to place your order and pricing for the album of your dreams at: capturingmoments@hotmail.com or call 714-985-9954.
