What’s in my camera bag

I don’t think it’s a shocker to anyone that I absolutely love photographs, taking photographs, and camera equipment.  Needless to say, some of my all-time favorite subjects are Peanut, Cailey, and Travis.

So let’s talk about what’s in my camera bag right now.

The camera:


Canon Rebel Xsi
(sorry but my camera isn’t good enough to take pictures of itself, so this is via amazon.com, where I actually bought it)

It came with the 18-55mm lens.  I heart my camera, although I think I’m outgrowing it.

The lenses:



Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 Telephoto Lens (amazon link here)

I love this one for action shots, far away shots, and future soccer games.



Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 (amazon link here)

This is the one that I take almost all of my pictures with.  It is my favorite one for portraits and Peanut-butter shots.  It’s also amazing for up-close shots of flowers and other such prettiness.

Flash:



Canon Speedlight 420EX (amazon link here)

I got this one as a freebie from my grandparents.  They used to have a canon camera that they no longer use and I was trying to figure out how to afford this flash, so…yeah I lucked out.  There is a newer model that I hear is better. 

Memory cards:



SD cards 16GB (amazon link here)

I have about 5 of these in every size.  We have a video camera, the Canon DSLR and a point-and-shoot, and yet I feel like I am always out of cards.  This is mostly my fault since I am consistently leaving them out all over the place.

The bag:





Canon backpack (amazon link here)

I heart this backpack.  It lets you alter the pockets to fit your lenses, etc.  It has pockets galore, which I love since I’m a 5-year-old. 

and when I don’t feel like dragging the whole thing with me I use this:





My lovely sister-in-law got me this as part of a bridesmaid gift and I am in love with it.  Actually, I somehow have 3 of these in different designs and I use them every single day; as a camera bag, as a lunch bag, and as a bag for Peanut to take her bottles to daycare.  I can’t get enough of them - they’re super cute and just the right size.  I have no idea where she got them, sorry peeps.

So there you have it.

I’m dying for more camera stuff, especially lenses for my birthday.

Although a little birdie (my mom) told me that they already picked out my birthday present and I’m just DYING to get my grubby little hands on it!  I’m not going to give it away just yet, but let’s just say that it is a kitchen appliance that mixes things without me holding it.  That’s it.  That’s all I can divulge.  That and that I can’t freakin’ wait to have it.

What’s your favorite place to buy stuff?

ps- no part of this post was sponsored in any way.  I use the amazon links because that is literally where I bought all the stuff.  Amazon - I heart you.  Marry me.
