Gift Ideas for the Photo Lover in Your Life (All under $100!)

1 // Lumee Phone Case // This little case is the best gift I’ve received all year! I am so hooked on it. Every time I use it in public, I get so many questions about it! It’s not just for selfies y’all, this has helped me out when I need a quick light to look for something in my car or even in my hand bag! I got it for my b-day from my BFF, but I think it makes a great gift during the holidays for anyone on your list. It has it’s own cord and can be charged at the same time that you charge your iPhone. It’s really convenient.

2 // SD Memory card // Every photo lover needs memory cards! The more memory the better. It’s best to buy SD cards with fast enough write speeds for your camera. With SD cards, or any memory card for that matter, there are two important things to consider, size and speed. I prefer the 64GB cards. SD memory cards are a great option for the photographer in your life.

3 // External Hard Drive // I take an external hard drive with me almost everywhere I go. It’s rugged and can handle a bit more movement than other drives without any problems. It’s a great thing to have to back up all the photos I take. I like this one by Lacie, but there are other great ones too by Western Digital, Samsung, and Seagate.

4 // Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries // These batteries are eco-friendly and are sold pre-charged and ready for immediate use. They lose power slower than other models of rechargeable batteries so they work great with external flashes and other equipment. I use these and they’ve been some of the best batteries for all my gear.

5 // Camera Bag // I’ve used this bag and have found it to be very useful during my shoots, whether I’m using one or two cameras. I like to use a back pack instead of a cross body bag. It’s so much more comfortable. The straps are comfortable on my shoulders and are adjustable to fit photographers of all sizes and heights.

Happy gift giving!
