DeAnn Mitchell Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my web!

    Originally from the south, I transplanted to Orange County, CA in 1997. I fell in love with photography after being inspired by an amazing photographer. I think its such a gift to be able to be a part of important moments in peoples lives. I love capturing candid moments of engagements, proposals, weddings, families, maternity and baby, pets and sports. Feel free to comment!! I love the feedback! Please contact me with any and all questions!! Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to hearing from you =)

My day with Tara Rochelle..

I had the chance to go up to Santa Clarita and spend the day with my friend Tara.. she did my head shots last year and this year we met up again and ventured around Newhall and Santa Clarita.. I have to admit, I really loved it up there.. the people are so stinking nice.. its so refreshing.. for a moment I actually considered moving up there.  Im all into the Steam Punk look so I decided to have fun and do something different.  Besides the coyote crunching in the bushes beside us, (which almost gave me a heart attack for real) this was really a fun day for me.. Thanks Tara for always being so chill and nice to hang with.. really honored to have you shoot me and talk photography to.  Please check her out at www.tararochelle.com she is amazing..    hair and make up by www.sallyvans.com :) Sally has worked with some top A list Celebs so this was a real treat for me as well!  thanks Sally!!
