Five (un-photography gear) Things To Keep In Your Camera Bag: The Friday Five List

Huh? Why would you keep things in your camera bag beside your gear?Because you’ll need them. Especially if you are shooting a child or a family. Trust me, having a few more items other than your camera lens and camera will come in quite handy. So what are a few un-photography gear things that should be in your bag? Here are the top five things you will probably need at some point that are NOT camera, lens or gear.

Band-aids

Because, kids fall-a lot, and even if they don’t get scraped or you don’t see any blood, sometime just the mention of a band-aid will stop the tears,put them in a better mood and ready to take some great pictures!.

A Puppet

Simple way to get their attention, and if you feel weird making funny noise or singing songs, this puppet can be a great alter ego;) Puppets can also be folded up and stored pretty easy in your camera bag, so they won’t take up much space!

Wet Wipes

Runny noses, food on the face, a fall in the dirt. ?All curable with the magical wet wipe. Will save you a TON of time editing later on too- just sayin’.

Lotion

A secret little tip for getting glowing skin. Put some on your child or subject right before the shot and it will give them instant glow- (no editing need!)
