Jazz singer Olivia Marstellar needed to update her professional head shots.

But first a bit of background on this Nicole Kidman look-a-like.

In 2015, Olivia joined guitarist Chuck Oettel, keyboardist Mike Truitt, and bassist Pete Bainbridge—the founders of the swing/jazz band Swing Street—as the lead singer.

Per the official Swing Street website: “The group features a mix of mainstream jazz standards, some jazz adaptations of popular tunes and a few adventures into smooth jazz.”

Have you seen my #ShopSmall commercial that’s on my Facebook page promoting my gift cards? That’s Olivia in the clip I took, as well as her singing with Swing Street for the soundtrack.


So much fun!

OK! Back to her session with me…

When we were discussing her vision of her session, we both were thinking “Jessica Rabbit“…

Do you agree we nailed it? AH! I love it!

A few weeks before her session I had stopped in at a local Goodwill store and I found this beautiful lace dress (that I tea-stained, of course!) that also said “jazz singer” to me. When she tried it on, it was like it had been made for her—it fit her perfectly!

The dress fit her so well that I had her twirl in it so I could do a “moving portrait” for her.

Looks like fun, right? Because it is! Contact me today to schedule your complimentary consult to discuss how you want to be photographed.

A big thank you to hair and makeup artist, Nath Mao, for doing what she does best!

Until next time,

Shannon

    Another incredible session! Love the moving portrait of her too. So graceful in that dress, and she looked like she was having loads of fun too. But then that is what you are always telling us, that the experience is as wonderful as the photo’s. Looks like you’re nailing everything these days.
