Looking back from when it all started...

So its nice to look back and see how far I have come in Photography. I received my first SLR camera last April, and was so glad to be able to take Nicole Hills 101 class. I can't believe how much of a difference it has made. Being able to shoot in manual makes a huge difference, you have the control vs. the camera. Thanks Nicole! I also loved doing a mentoring session with Jessica Kettle, I was able to shoot with her, and also learn some great editing tricks and time savers, Thanks Jess! Wow, I still feel like I have so much more to learn. Looking at these before and afters I really feel that I have grown so much in this first year, and can't wait to see my before and afters from this year to next.
