What's in your bag?

Whether you're shooting weddings, portraits, landscapes or live events, I bet no two photographers bags are ever packed with the same things! What are some of the essentials that you pack in your bag for a shoot? And do you carry anything that isn't gear with you?

Myself, I'm packing a bag for a snow shoeing afternoon later this week and I've made sure I have my tripod, a battery pack + cord for charging my phone, some snacks and a recent addition to my bag is an emergency blanket, just in case.



I'd love to see what's in your bag!

I love the bag! Snacks and an emergency blanket are great additions, I often pack snacks as well!

I always have extra batteries and a rain cover in my bag too.

I love this bag, too. I got it at the Seattle Aquarium last September and haven't stopped using it since! It's the perfect size for an afternoon trip.

It's a fun one!

This is awesome! An emergency blanket is such a great idea! I need to get better at bringing snacks! By the way, your bag is adorable!

I normally have my "Fairy Godmother" kit.  It has a lint brush, safety pins, ponytail holders, baby wipes, tissues, fashion tape, snacks  and a couple other things.

You're so smart. Your bag does not scream, "I'm full of camera gear!"

Love that! All the essentials.

I love the fruit snacks! I always include hand sanitizer and wipes, as well as one of those Allen-wrench tools that has a bunch of different sizes on it!

I carry a small emergency blanket - but i use it as a reflector - a different kind of emergency. I always carry a very lightweight foldable rain/wind jacket as I never know when conditons will change.

The allen wrench tool is a brilliant idea!

What a great idea, using it as a reflector, Ira! And the foldable jacket is also a good tip!
