Post #1 Nice to meet you!


Since I’m new here, I’d like to start of by telling you a little bit about my background. My name is Abigail Joy Mies and I fell in love with photography when I was about 12 years old, but I didn’t know it at the time. One day I was out on the countryside with my aunt who is a professional artist, mostly with painting but she uses photos for her inspiration. While we were taking pictures of windmills and old beaten down barns all I could think about was how was I possibly going to paint something that I would be proud of. Since I tend to be very critical of my own work I was never satisfied and decided that painting wasn’t my forte. After a few years of art classes and never being happy with the outcome of numerous projects I’m back to the very beginning, photography.
I shoot seniors and families but mostly sports. In high school I was the photo editor for my school newspaper and am currently a freshman in college working for the university paper. I was the sports photographer for the first semester but quickly worked my way up to photo editor for the second. I am extremely happy with where my career is headed and I cant wait to see where it will take me.  I look forward to continue my education and keep up the progress with my photography.
With this blog I hope to showcase my work and get my name out there! J
