Hi Olesja,

Really, really love Look 3.......it is very much in line with what we look for in terms of style of photography. Very natural and simple, yet still high-fashion, edgy, cool......The movement is amazing too, it looks like you gave her great direction! Here are the selects all from Look 3. To be honest, I do not think that most of them need that much retouching......we have an in-house art department that could do that for us.....
Would it be possible to get high-res images in the next day or so?.....I can get them off of your ftp site if that is easier than mailing a disc, or you can email them to me......
I would really like to set up another test with one of our new faces. Please give me a call when you have a chance and we can discuss.

Thanks!

Hi Olesja,

They are beautiful :))) THANK YOU for shooting her! Yes, Carlie has grown  up a lot since her last shoot....I am glad that you captured her. Once you get these retouched I will get them up on her page, they are
amazing!!!I am so excited for her!  Thanks again!

Another shoot: Well, i would have never known that you had a hard time with her based on what you shot....they are beautiful!!!!!!  I went through and selected a bunch, but I narrowed it down for you so you wouldn't have to retouch so many!  THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Another shoot: Everyone has loved working with you...thank you :)
Madison's photos are amazing!

Another shoot: Hi Olesja, Here are my selects for Kacey....they are simply amazing!  It was really hard to narrow them down so I am hope I am not asking for too many!  I am blown away :)))

Hey you, I really like my test we did!!  So my NYC agency has so shots they like as well.  If I could get another disk from you for them that would be amazing. They love the retouched ones in studio with the jacket and boots and the straight on black and white one I think that number is 1727.  They also really like 102 and 128.I would actually like to do one more test with you, paid of course, what are your thoughts?

I'm sure I don't have to tell you how extraordinary Olesja Mueller's Photography is. Just looking at any one of her photos you will recognize her talent for capturing amazing images. I've shot with her twice for my portfolio, not only does she make me look and beautiful, but these photos actually book me work! I've been modeling for over 8 years and I can say that Olesja is one of the easiest, and sweetest people to work with. She is very professional and has an Amazing eye for style and detail. I can honestly say her images truly capture the best in people.

Christine Bailey @ I-Model.

Hello Olesja, thanks again for such a fabulous shoot! I couldn't have asked for better I looked at the images and I love them! They are exactly what I was hoping for. It's just taking me a sec to narrow them down.

Patrycia Pergens @ Dizon agency, 3rd shoot together.

You should have a stylist page..because I've noticed when you do the styling it is incredible..better then the ones that call them stylist

Caitlin @ LA Models, Jetset, LOOK, 3rd shoot together.

You are awesome, the CD would be great, where would you recommend me printing the pics for my portfolio, the best quality? Thanks a million doll, mwahhhhhsssss

Dijana Drasko, Las Vegas model.

Thank you, I love what you recommended, I definitely need this type of shot for my book, focused on me. In fact, I am not sure I even know how to take a picture like that, I'm very used to working on the heavy styling and such. I am hoping you can guide me through it, I suspect you are a dream to shoot with. Thanks so much!

Jacqueline @ Sirena Models.

Oh so great! I love your work!!! My favorites are MG 4725, MG 4733, MG4738. You made my legs look so flawless!

Hey Olesja, It was a pleasure working with you and I am so glad that I had a chance to work with you. The pictures came out really good. It is so hard to choose a picture to put in my port... I will let you know as soon as possible which ones I will select. I do hope to work with you again in the future.

Katherine T., LA model.

I believe that in order to keep yourself growing, you have to always push your own boundaries, that is why I only wish to work with individuals like yourself who can produce great results and is able to enhance myself and my portfolio... Sorry to keep on changing my mind but there are so many good ones, I just want the best ones edited now because I could always get the rest done at a later date!

Samantha, London model.

Hey there, I'm in love with all the pics!. I'm waiting to hear back from her agent to see what ones she likes best. Thanks again we had sooooooooo much fun and cannot wait to do it again. I hear my friend contacted you that's awesome!

Julie Megill, mom of Raleigh – child model @ ZURI Model and Talent and the owner of Juls Megill Photography.

Without a doubt, I would wholeheartedly recommend the fabulous Ms. Olesja Mueller. She is soooo amazing to the fullest degree. Her aura is phenomenal and her positivity and laughter is soo contagious! She put me first and was sincere at her attent. These factors crucially important for me. With Olesja, its all about YOU- the model. Olesja WILL DO her damn best to well-execute your vision with precision, clarity, and sharpness. I guarantee it!

Sarneva Fullard, LA model.

Hi Olesja! I love the shots Thanks so much for sending them to me. As you can see I've already put them on my portfolio. My parents saw them too and really liked them!

Alan, LA model/actor.

Here are the agent's final selections of Sarah & Hannah's pictures, and ALL of these are now appearing on the Zuri website w/in their portfolios. I'm so happy with your work (and obviously my agent is too - she's soooo pickey!) And guess what? She changed both girls' main photos on the website - that is a HUGE compliment! I hope we can work together again - you made it a wonderful experience with amazing results!!. :))

Stacy, mom of Sarah and Hannah - child models @ ZURI Model and Talent.

I wanted to drop a note to let you know that Hannah has been getting some attention with her new shots you took. Recently, JCrew and Gap are the two most recent clients interested in seeing her. We couldn't make it to JCrew, but will be going to the Gap casting soon. Thanks again for your genius work!

Stacy, mom of Hannah and Sarah.

Hi Olesja,
They look great, I am trying to view them on my little blackberry screen! I can't wait to get home and see. I sent CCA the link just now.
I wanted to tell you that on our way home from your studio I asked Chloe how she felt about the whole day of getting her pictures taken and said: "I feel proud" I had tears in my eyes when she said that! Thank you for making her feel so confident, you really made her believe in herself. I see that just looking at her pictures!
A bit later: Here are the images that CCA liked the best. Of course she asked If we could get the other images because she would like to put more than just 10 onto Chloe's page. Would that be okay? The others do not need retouching. It's hard because her looks vary! They are just so good! :)

Michelle Casebier, mom of Chloe

Oh!!!! Now I see what she likes! I just couldn't wait!!! :) Yes, I LOVE the pics Lindsay selected! Soooo pretty! I still LOVE numbers 1155 and 1157. Those seem so natural to me.... And some of those black and whites I mentioned in an earlier email -- 855, 868 -- that I think are gorgeous! I know black and whites are harder for Lindsay to use for submissions... but they are the ones that I thought would also look beautiful in color! :)
Could I pay your retoucher for a few more of these so I can put them in Maris's book? Maybe the above listed numbers and a few of pics in the black dress: 1286, 1323.

xoxo,
Laura Paden, mom of Maris

Olesja,
Your photos are beautiful!  I cannot wait to hear from Lindsay tomorrow!  Thanks so much for such a fun afternoon!  Ivy slept well last night ;)  Thanks for sharing your awesome talent! Thanks so much for the pictures! Is there any way I can get the photos that weren’t edited and retouched, just on a disc or file?  I can no longer pull them up in the album they were in.  They are all so good!

Amy Basinger, mom of Ivy

Hi Olesja,  thank you so much for helping Kacey out with her portfolio. You are doing so much already. I hate to beg, but there were a few more of Kacey's shots that were favorites of mine and her dads. Some are porfolio material, but great memory material....These are the numbers of the few that we really loved. 8765, 8778, 8780, 8804, 8824, 8875, 8877, 8958. I truely love the one in the pink dress with her eyes closed and 8958 in full length shot in black and white. No need to even photoshop them, I would just like to print them for a person memory album. I have to admit, I am begging.......please. xoxoxoxo

Kate Stewart Logan, mom of Kacey

Hi Olesja,

It was great to working with you the other day!!
Thanks sooo much for everything!
I love all the beauty staff you took and also I love the one her hair is on her face...you shot her out side.
That's really beautiful too....Can't wait to see the photos!!
After seeing the photos: Thanks so much Olesja, I am very happy about everything you did!! Those photos are so beautiful and I love them!!
First I couldn't choose them because so many photos are just beautiful,but finally I have decided which one I really need for my web&book, 5 to 6 photos are going to my book just for my beauty section!!! Wooohooo!!!

Megumi, makeup/hair stylist

"There really is no way to easily describe the impact that Olesja had on the development of my portfolio as a beginning makeup artist. The quality, composition, and the detail of her photography is absolutely incredible. She brought a lot of inspiration to the table and did a fantastic job. In every shot she focused on not transforming but enhancing what beauty is already there within. After working with Olesja and receiving the final images once retouched I must say I was pleased as a makeup artist. The retouching was very natural & beautifully done still showing my true work as an artist.

As great as the photography is, that isn't even the best part of working with Olesja. The quality of her interaction makes her the best. The individual attention you receive and the communication is beyond excellent. You will know in a short time that each shot is carefully composed and thought out to benefit not just her but you as the client. You'll know it isn't just a job for her, she truly is working for YOU and bringing out your inner talents.

Her rates are very reasonable. She goes above and beyond than what is expected and is willing to work for your best interest at heart. I would highly recommend her for the development of portfolios for any makeup artist, hair stylist, wardrobe stylist, or model. Her work is truly remarkable! "

Hi honey!!!

I hope you had a great time on your trip!! I looooooove the pics!! They are gorgeous!!! Love you and let's do it again when you get rested from your trip.

OMG I'm in love!!! It came out so great!!! You are genius my luv!!! great vision.

Tony Vin, hairstylist @ Photogenics.

Olesja, I FINALLY got internet at my house and was able to look at the pictures I absolutely love them. You are amazing to work with and everything came out great! I had a lot of fun this weekend with the shoot at the beach I can't wait to see those.

Charity Ann, makeup artist.

I downloaded all the photos and they are just beautiful. If these pictures don't sell my dresses nothing will. Again, thank you so very much. I adore them and can't wait to hear all the good feedback, trust me I'll be giving the credit to where it is due! You! :-) Take care of yourself and I'll be contacting you in the future!

Jessica Iverson – bridal eco couture.

There are so many great things to say about Olesja and her photography, not only does she have an amazing eye to capture outstanding pictures, but Olesja also has a good eye for picking the right models for the right shot. While shooting with Olesja, she not only understood what I wanted, but delivered which is hard for most photographers to do, all the pictures came out perfect and just how I had imagined. Olesja is a true professional and displays her talents through her photography, I can only imagine the photographs we will create in the upcoming projects that I have planned, so be on the look out! ;)
