Canon 6D Mark II Camera

I first started with my iPhone 6. Then upgraded to a Canon Rebel T1i (discontinued) then Canon Rebel T7i for a few months before I bought my baby – the Canon 6D Mark II!

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 IS USM Macro Lens

This 100mm has become my favorite lens. It’s a fixed lens and the amount of detail it picks up is incredible. It’s also a lot lighter than my 24-70mm.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II Lens

This 24-70mm lens is VERY versatile. Not only does it make food look stunning, but it’s also great for travel, portraits, and just about ANYTHING. It is heavy though!

This course is amazing for learning how to edit your photos in your style. There are 9 hours of content from learning the logic behind each feature in Lightroom to crafting a unique workflow that slashes your editing time in half.

Lightroom / Photoshop

These are amazing tools for post-production. I use Lightroom to edit all my food photos. I know they’re expensive but I gotta say so far, it’s been worth every penny! 

Ink and Elm Vinyl Backdrops

Their backdrops are printed on durable, tear-resistant vinyl using the longest-lasting inks and state-of-the-art technology. They are easy to clean and store.

Marble Pastry Slab

If you’re just starting out and are looking for an affordable background for photography, this marble slab is a great option to get your feet wet in the whole food blogging world.
