My Favorite Photography Accessories

Everyone has their favorite camera brands and equipment. All the debating aside, here are a few of my favorite accessories that can go with any of your cameras.




The Gary Fong Puffer Plus is a flash diffuser that fits right into the external flash attachment. It is simple, light and doesn't take any batteries. It flashes even, soft and absolutely beautiful. A fellow photographer, Sanae James introduced this to me several years ago and I live with it on my camera.



Next up is my backpack. I first got this back in 2011 so I could attend a photography workshop in Southern Utah in Capital Reef. It was so great to have it. It holds both of my cameras and 3 different lenses and my Fong diffuser. It's nice to have something that is centered on my back and doesn't swing around like your traditional sling camera bags.

Last for today is the Neewer 43inch reflector. It has several different reflective surfaces to redirect light in a photo shoot. My favorite thing about it though is the white center of it. All the way under the reflective surfaces is a white filter so you can block direct sunlight from your subject. Some days you just can't wait for the perfect light. I take this with me everywhere (attached to my backpack). It's super light and folds down into a 12" circle that zips up. It's great for getting rid of sunspots and I couldn't be a photographer without it.
