Family Photography Gear | Colorado Family Photographer Lauren Bounds

What’s in my camera bag?

I love the Brevite backpack camera bag for travel. It’s lightweight and holds all my gear, including a laptop. The protective compartments allow me to rest easy knowing my camera will be safe. It even has a slot for you to connect it to your suitcase while you walk through the airport. For everyday use I love my Ona bag.

My camera of choice is the Sony A7iv. This is a mirrorless camera that I pair with a 50mm or 35mm lens depending on what I am shooting that day. I always pack an extra battery for my camera along with an extra SD card.

My shutter hugger comes with me to a lot of my family sessions. This cute little bunny was named Pickles by a client. It doesn’t always work as an attention getter, but when it does I am so glad to have it. I love that I can wash it after each session, since kids often like to touch it.

A neutral blanket can be a lifesaver with little kids who do not want to sit down in itchy grass. It also protects clothing from getting dirty.

Especially in warmer months, I bring my water bottle so I can stay hydrating during an outdoor family session. With all the moving around I do, I can get hot quick, and have majorly regretted it when I have forgotten my water in the past.

All this gear is on my must have list for a family photo session. Leave a comment if you suggest anything else!

Photographs with Purpose

Every family arrives with a story that's entirely their own. My role isn't to fit your family into a pose or create images that look like everyone else's. It's to create photographs that feel genuine to your family and preserve this season with care and intention.

The experience is thoughtfully designed from the very beginning. I take the time to get to know your family, guide you through every step, and help create artwork that feels like it truly belongs in your home. Every detail is considered so you can enjoy the experience instead of feeling overwhelmed by it.

Beautiful photographs are only the beginning. Your images deserve to be seen and enjoyed every day through handcrafted heirloom albums, custom framed artwork, and heirloom portraits that become part of your family's home and legacy for generations.

Choosing a photographer is about more than selecting the right photography experience. It's about finding someone whose approach, style, and process feel like the right fit for your family.
