It all started when I was a wee little thing...
Yeah, right.
Hi, I am Elizabeth "Lizzy" Bellinger, and I am 20 years old. I am a photographer and aspiring cosmetologist, with the "day job" called Pizza Maker. I live with an amazing boyfriend, and a very cute dog. I love hair, makeup, nature, animals and video games. Guess that's where this story begins.🤷🏻♀️
I could lie and give you that whole story that I've loved photography as early as I could remember, that I always dreamt of the day I made it huge in the industry. But that definitely isn't the truth.
At first, I loved photography for it's art aspect. But never for the work and everything involving this task, though. I appreciated it for what it was, and not some fantasized, dream of what it could be. It wasn't until I found my first favorite photographer, Sammi Doll's, work. Something about the sometimes "dark" and "different" photos called to me. It was then that I picked up a camera.
As I learned how to use and manipulate a camera to my liking, I quickly learned that I was developing a passion for this.
"But Lizzy, you said you only appreciated the art! You didn't want to create it!!"
I know, I know. Crazy right?
But as I did it more and more, I realized that even if you edit down to the smallest detail, you were at least giving something to someone that you could be proud of.
I have worked with many great individuals, even outside of my comfort zone, and have always been proud of my final product.
And whether I was 13 with a bad editing app, or 20 and learning different things and aspects while editing, the passion is still there.📸
