I have always been working hard on growing as a photographer, and discovering my personal style.  I thought today might be fun to share an image from the VERY FIRST wedding I shot on my own in 2011, and one for a wedding just a couple weekends ago.

Growth, time, and a desire to learn and grow really make a huge difference.  I am grateful for my mentors that have helped me along the way, and help me to continue pushing to get better and better.

Here’s the first image from 2011, while I was running my business under my maiden name, Candace Elias Photography.  In 2012, after I got married, I decided to change my business name to Sonmor Photography, so I didn’t create any confusion by using two different last names.

This next image is one I shot just a couple of weeks ago out in Spiritwood:

I, personally, am so happy with how I have been evolving as a photographer, and how much more comfortable I am in coaching my client’s into different poses.

I’m a little nervous putting something like this out there, but everyone starts somewhere, and my biggest growth, I think, has been to find my editing style, which is at a point where I am super happy with.
