The farther I get into my business (it's been over 5 years now!), the fewer equipment purchases I need to make. I have a great list of reliable and high-quality gear, so adding to the arsenal comes slower than it did at the beginning when I was first purchasing and upgrading everything. Last year was the year of lighting equipment, but this has become the year of the 24mm lens - and I am officially obsessed!

Honestly, it's hard for me to justify buying anything, whether personally or in my business…
