So today i feel like showing you how far I've come in my photography journey. I picked up my first DSLR camera back in 2007, I did my research, I followed photographers I looked up too, I read my manuals, i even bought a "for dummies" book and read the whole thing! and i STILL look back now saying to myself "what was i thinking?!" Its always fun to do these comparisons and see how far you've come as a photographer. My first dslr was a little canon rebel 450D. i recently JUST sold it because i was having attachment issues letting it go - it was doing no good sitting in my bag never even being loved on for sooo long! and im honored it can be another photographers starter and learning camera! I really hope it brings them as much joy as it brought me :) when i upgraded to the Canon 7D..i was in love! That baby was bad! i LOVE my 7D and i feel like it will always carry a little piece of my heart LOL! Eventually i outgrew the 7D, i felt like it just wasnt enough for me, almost like i didnt want to shoot with it anymore! So i upgraded to the Canon 5D Mark III and man oh man -- this baby is amazing! i feel like i died and went to photographers heaven! This is the camera i have been waiting for my whole life! anyways - enough rambling..here are a few then/now photos :) PLEASE dont laugh! LOL oh and most are these are from my FIRST paid wedding! i love looking back at how much i grew, how much my posing has improved, how much my style has improved. i just improved, ok yall! sorry for the overload! haha
