What kind of camera do you use?

One of the most common questions I get on Instagram and Facebook is what kind of camera do you use?? This is a tricky one for me to answer because my posts and videos are hardly ever created with just one camera.

As a wedding photographer, I accumulated a lot of gear. As a travel blogger, I invested in a bunch of fun equipment. In any given video, I could’ve used three or four different cameras, sometimes more. So yeah, typically I can’t give a clear cut answer.

So I decided to dedicate an entire post to answering it. In this post I am going to explain each piece of equipment I own and what I use it for. I hope it provides a little bit of insight into how my photos and videos are made!

One important thing to note before we dive into this post is that

Everything You Need to Know About the STL Experience Booklet

This is another one for all my local STL friends!! If you’ve been on Instagram, chances are you’ve seen some of your friends exploring St. Louis with a little black book that almost looks like a passport.

What to Pack for a Week in Maui, Hawaii

Typically, packing is no big thing for me. I’m usually able to throw a suitcase together the morning of a trip without missing hardly anything. You’d think I’d have the system down for every kind of trip, but that wasn’t the case for Hawaii.

If you are here, there is a good chance you also found (or are currently finding) packing for Hawaii to be a bit tougher than you anticipated! After spending a week on the island of Maui, I got a much better sense of what you do and don’t need to bring on a Hawaiian vacation.

Today I wanted to share my packing break down. Complete with things I am so glad I brought, things I didn’t really need, and anything else I wish I had during my trip.

Maui, Hawaii Trip Recap | August 2019

Wow oh wow, is Hawaii beautiful! If you’ve been following along on Instagram, then you probably saw that I spent last week on the incredible island of Maui.

My friend Jessica (you probably know her from my Iceland or Seattle videos) and I had been waiting and waiting for the day that Southwest would release their flights to Hawaii. This past spring they finally did and we booked ASAP. That’s the first thing you need to know about this vacation: just how cheap our flights were.

This past January Southwest ran a credit card promotion where you got a companion pass for the year if
