Elizabeth Neal has had a passion for photography since a young age and became serious about it after a friend asked her to photograph models for a bikini shop – she found she had a knack for photographing people and really enjoyed it too! Elizabeth has been photographing people ever since. She loves connecting with new people and creating dynamic images, which is why photographing Taste of the Beach has been such a great fit for her. Her photography business, Milepost Portraits, specializes in beach portraits, but Elizabeth also enjoys shooting a well-plated meal, architectural details, and everyday life.
OBRA highly recommends Elizabeth Neal! Her ability to capture people, food, and those moments of pure enjoyment are unsurpassed.

I’ve been behind a camera since I was five and took pictures of the second the dolphin flew through the sky and lifted the ring off the pole, in silhouette. Trying (much later) to forego an indoor life, the Outer Banks called and I answered, spending the last 20+ years with a team of photographers as Shooters at the Beach. I’ve always believed that photography is the art of seeing the light, finding the beauty in the subject and the moment. It’s about relationships, whether it light and dark, color and texture, or the palpable love between people, and finding a way to share that with a viewer. Find the beauty and share, how simple is that. Whether it’s hunting for that hidden glance at a wedding, the unleashed smile of a child, the challenging interplay between musicians at play, or the wonderful design of an artistic creation, it’s my honor to try to bring that to others. And sometimes, I get lucky.

2017 is the second time we have had the pleasure of working with Audra and she was, again, awesome and to work with. She came to us with a terrific reputation as a wedding photographer, which she is highly acclaimed and beloved for. In her own words…
“I photograph weddings, births and families at all stages of life across the Outer Banks, however if you would like me to photograph your sisters Pinterest party in Las Vegas or your ice cream social in Pittsburgh, I would be honored to join you. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do!
You can see my up close and personal life via my “daily blog” on Instagram! Follow my photography and family life on Instagram @audrakrieg
Fair Warning: My children are really really REALLY cute so prepare for an overload/overgram of them!
I’ve tried to Tweet… but it always comes out wrong so Facebook is a better bet to see what’s going on with me!”
