2024 Gift Guide For Photographers
Sharing a few of my favorite things I use daily or regularly as a photographer that would make for the perfect gift for yourself or if you’re looking for a present to buy your favorite photographer. This has all of my favorite tools and essentials that make my life as a photographer easier and more fun.
Good-quality memory cards are a must for every photographer and it seems like I’m always needing to buy them. Watch out for just any memory cards on Amazon. You want to be sure you’re buying a quality professional memory card. You’ll also want to see what type of memory card their camera takes.
This harness allows you to hold two cameras (sometimes more) and is a must as a wedding photographer. It makes changing gear easy and accessible. This makes for the perfect gift under $300.
I first got a Skillshare Subscription when I wanted to get a little more creative and take easy creative classes essentially in every subject. I first started with watercolor classes and other similar creative classes but also found that I loved their other educational courses like SEO, Ads, and anything else related to business foundation.
If you’re looking for a big gift, an iPad Pro is perfect for editing or working on the go. I personally love it for culling my photos on Lightroom Mobile and doodling on ProCreate. I took lots of fun classes on Skillshare for creating in ProCreate and loved expanding my creative skills!
If they’re a beginner photographer and just getting their camera gear figured out, a 50mm lens is the perfect place to start! There are many different versions of quality of this lens, but the 50mm 1.8 is my favorite budget-friendly lens to start with! You’ll need to get the correct mount for whatever brand of camera they have.
I love these rechargeable batteries! I bought them to use as batteries for my flashes, but I find myself using them all over the house! Be sure to buy the charger with the big pack of batteries. I always want to add more to my battery collection. Both for my camera bag and for my home junk drawer.
This camera clip for your backpack makes for the perfect gift under $100! I got this for Christmas and I was so excited about it! It did take me a little bit of time to find a backpack that it would fit on, but it is so handy and for someone that loves hiking and traveling, it was the best gift. I also got the handle strap with it which I was surprised with how much I use it and love it!

Hi! I'm Kelsey!
My photography journey started in 2009 when I fell in love with documenting moments and capturing people in their element.
10 years ago, I moved to the amazing little mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado from in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Wild to say I've photographed over 300 weddings and portrait sessions all over. I started this small but mighty team of local mountain photographers to capture whatever season of life you're in.
