Content Creation

People often ask what I use to create content for social media.

The answer is probably much simpler than you'd expect.

I don't have a studio full of expensive content equipment or a complicated setup. My goal has always been to make creating content as easy as possible so I'll actually stay consistent.

These are the few tools I use week after week.

One of my favorite content creation tools has been my smart glasses.

While I don't use them much during client sessions, I use them all the time behind the scenes around the farm and studio. Whether I'm cleaning the studio, decorating a new set, making props, organizing, or working on a new project, they allow me to capture those everyday moments completely hands-free.

Some of my favorite content isn't from a photo session at all. It's showing the work that happens before the clients ever arrive. Those behind-the-scenes moments have helped me connect with my audience in a genuine way while documenting the creative process.

This little accessory has become one of my favorite content tools.

It attaches directly to the top of my camera so I can record while I'm photographing a session. My clients never notice it's there, and it allows me to capture real behind-the-scenes footage without adding extra work.

Sometimes the simplest tools end up being the most useful.

This one usually surprises people...

I don't actually use a traditional camera bag.

After trying several backpacks and shoulder bags over the years, I could never find one that fit the way I worked. During most sessions, I'm carrying two camera bodies and multiple lenses, and I got tired of carrying all that weight on my shoulders.

Instead, I use a rolling teacher's bag.

It rolls right beside me throughout a session, keeps everything organized, and gives me quick access to the gear I use most. It's also much more budget-friendly than many camera bags on the market.

Sometimes the best photography tools aren't even made for photographers.
