Another question I often am asked is, "What should I buy for my photography business" as well as "In what order should I buy my equipment"

Here's what I've found to be the best order when considering what you buy to grow my business and provide the highest level of service to our customers.

Starters

When you're launching your business, there are really five main components you need:

1. An SLR Camera - depending on your budget, you can either start with a lower-level SLR, a mid-ranged SLR, or even a used SLR. But, do your research - find the brand you like and stick with it!

2. 1 Good SLR Lens (17-85mm) - get a good - middle of the road SLR lens made by the manufacturer of the camera. Granted, they will be a bit more expensive, but it's worth the investment

3. An Adjustable Flash - spend the extra money on a good flash - having something with some power and versatility will really take your photos up a notch

4. Get adobe Photoshop - Photoshop is the top of the line, industry leading photo editing software. It's pricey, but its worth it. If you can't afford the full blown version, start with Photoshop Elements

5. Accessories - Make sure to have a few extra batteries, memory cards and cleaning supplies. They're all pretty cheap, but not having a backup when you need it can be catastrophic.

Building Redundancy

Once you've gotten the basics and money allows for you to begin to expand, start to build in a little safety net by purchasing the following. Here's what I suggest:

1. A Second Camera Body - having a second body can be very useful in some settings, and even more importantly, if something were to fail on a camera (which has happened to me more than once) you have a backup there to save the day.

2. A Super Telephoto Lens (75-300mm) - this is the next logical step. It can come in handy for outdoor settings where you might need to have that extra zoom capability.

3. An F2.8 Lens (24-70mm) - Fast lenses (F2.8 and below) are great for indoor shooting. They capture much more light, allowing you more creative room to work

Specializing

As money allows, there are lots of great tools you can purchase for your needs:

1. Super Telephoto F2.8 (70-200mm)- this lens is great for wedding photography - it allows you to be at a distance, but still capture detail, even in low light settings. But beware, these can be pretty Pricey.

2. Super Super Telephoto Lens (100-400mm) - if you're looking into nature or sports photography, one of these lenses is an awesome addition to your quiver. It allows you to get in tight, even from great distances - again, expanding your capabilities

3. Tilt Shift Lens (24mm) - If you are looking to get into commercial or architectural photography, a tilt shift lens, which allows you to bend the perspective, is a great tool!
