Its been sinking in lately how much I have grown in such a short amount of time when it comes to Photography. I've improved vastly and have learned new things that I wouldn't have even thought of in the first place.
I've compared pictures from when I first started to pictures that I've taken recently and I'm both shocked and happy to see the difference and how much I have truly improved. Its a motivating factor to find that you're getting better every picture and that you've grown that much in such a short time.
I go back through a lot of my pictures and see things I should have done differently, ways I should have edited, the picture taking process and the way to manipulate the lighting to my advantage. Knowing what I know now, I often wish I could go back in time and provide better pictures for those clients who were my firsts for their patience and understanding. I look back in some of my albums and say "I would have done this and this differently, but kept this aspect" and wish that I could retake these pictures for them using skills I have now.
I know I can't redo things, as those moments have already passed, but knowing that I'm improving is inspiring and makes me want to take pictures of anything and everything just to improve more. The greatest reward is progress and success. I've had both in this past year and I am grateful for all of the opportunities that I've been presented.
A great big thank you to all of my friends, family and clients who have helped me grow as both a Photographer and as a person!
