Introducing... Liz Mitchum Photography, Beaufort SC
Dreams do come true! I have always wanted to become a photographer, I minored in photography in college, but that was just the beginning. I worked for my mom for two years after college and learned so much from her. She taught me so much and I love having someone to share my passion with!
I research and study photography all the time. When I found out I was pregnant I realized my dream could come true, b/c I would have a fantastic subject to photograph and practice on. Some people laugh and say that my daughter Neeley is the most photographed baby EVER, well this may be true. Her first week of life, my mom (who is a professional photographer - Anne Westbury) and I took about 1,200 pictures of Neeley. Since that time - we are still taking pictures every chance we get. She has photo sessions pretty frequently while I practice lighting and posing.
Opening my photography business is a bucket list dream, I have lots - I also plan to run in my first 5K in a month....Yikes - I haven't really started training! All of this is before I turn 30 next year!
This blog will serve as a place to post my photography until I get my website up and running....I hope you enjoy.
Here are a few recent pictures of Neeley - yes, she is Santa Baby! She is so fun to take pictures of, she is what I call a "Daddy looking Baby!" She has his beautiful big blue eyes and sweet face. I think she is incredible - she may look like her daddy but she acts like me. She doesn't like to be by herself, if she is in the same room she wants to see me or better yet, be held. I was the same way - a people person!
