Another @thekdwp state park that we can mark off our list but will most definitely be back sometime... soon hopefully.

When it comes to shooting photos of my family, mos When it comes to shooting photos of my family, mostly candid photos, I’ve made my way through several different camera bodies and lenses. But I’ve finally found the kit that suits my needs and might just suit yours. 

Currently, I shoot with the @fuji X-T4. I’ve recently added the X-T20 that I give my kids to use as “their” camera... sometimes they surprise me with some incredible photos. 

I’ve got a set of prime lenses; 27mm, 35mm, 50mm, that give me some great depth of field with the low aperture, but I also have two zoom lenses that give my kit the versatility to be able to shoot in every possible scenario that presents itself when I am out grabbing pictures of my kids and family. 

Read more about the camera kit that I use on my blog. Link in bio.
