I worked as the office manager at the Orange County Music Academy for just shy of 7 years. Before working there I was one of the first few students to join the school to take drum lessons. I watched the school blossom over the years and for many of those years I got to be a part of the excitement and growth. After graduating college I made the heart wrenching decision to move on so that like Dan Mitchell (the owner, and my designated big brother), I could start building my own business. I am blessed to still have the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful school in the way that is the most passionate to me: by photographing it’s exceptional events. I also am honored and privileged to continually be asked to photograph Dan’s now quickly growing beautiful family. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Dan, for everything you’ve taught me and all of the opportunities you’ve provided me. Congratulations on another successful Rock Show!
