CARLEEN Camera Bag

This is my favorite camera bag for portrait and family sessions! The "Carmen Every Day" bag perfectly holds two camera bodies, two lenses, plus my phone and wallet. For bigger jobs, the “Down-to-Business” in the vintage floral design is amazing—it fits two camera bodies, two to three lenses, a laptop, wallet, planner, and has multiple inner and outer pockets, making it ideal for travel sessions! I’m obsessed with these bags. Plus, the SD card wallet is a must-have and such a great addition—I absolutely love it!

The Unscripted posing app

This app has truly been a game-changer for me! As many of you know, I'm a French photographer living in Orlando, and English isn't my first language. When I first started booking sessions, I was so nervous about directing clients, making them laugh with jokes, and just knowing what to say to them.

This app offers incredible tools like prompts and poses for inspiration, plus so many helpful features: a sun tracker, camera settings guide, templates for contracts and emails, and a supportive Facebook community. The design is beautiful, making it easy to navigate and save my favorite poses. I use it for every session, and it has honestly transformed my workflow. I also love that you can submit your own poses, get featured, and discover the amazing work of other photographers!
