The Unexpected Parallels
From Violinist To Photographer
Teaching others is not new to Olivia. She spent years teaching violin, and sees many parallels to photography that she now applies as an educator. For both, the results are rooted in the preparation. With violin, it was being aware of how you stood, pointing your toes the right way and perfecting every placement all before the first note was ever played. She helps photographers feel just as intentional and poised, equipped to work with their ideal clients, and to feel at ease stepping into any photographic situation.
Calling on years of teaching experience and creative expression to deliver unique and applicable insights. Striving for technical perfection while infusing artistic connection.
