About your seattle dating photographer

Hi! I'm Andrea
Your straight-talking, tough-loving online dating wingman

If hiring a professional dating photographer feels pretty out-on-a-limb for you, you’re in good company.

I bet you're at least a little uncertain about this whole dating photo scenario, maybe dating apps in general. Hell, you may not have even known a dating photographer was a thing until a few minutes ago.

Since telling you about my qualifications is unlikely to make you feel any less nervous, let's do this instead: I'll share a bit about what I’m actually like as a person.

You’re probably wondering…is she cool?
Below is an assortment of tidbits about me so you can judge for yourself. As a payoff I’ll conclude with some family classics.
(TL;DR: I'm not cool. But I am fun.)
→ Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: If we are eating out in public and there is sauce available, I *will* embarrass you with my sauce consumption. I go nuts for sauce. Hot sauce, ketchup, bbq, ranch, tartar, ALL THE SAUCE.

→ If you live in my neighborhood I will immediately learn your dog’s name but might have to ask yours several times.

→ All prior plans are off if we encounter a rope swing. Rope swings turn me instantly into a wild 9 year old.

→ When shooting on location I have been known to occasionally eat shit—stepping off curbs, attempting to perch on things that don’t hold my weight, etc.. If I start backing into traffic while we’re shooting, promise to grab me or yell our safe word (it’s "CORNDOG!").

→ In my twenties I taught photography at a large public high school, which basically makes me a Jedi at getting trust and buy-in from self-conscious captives. That skill turns out to be extremely useful when photographing grown-ass men who would rather reorganize their garage than stand in front of a camera.
→ Birds have shat on my head a total of 3 times to date. Most recently it was while eating a donut (me, not the bird), no more than an hour after having a Texas Blowout. *a Texas Blowout is when you’re visiting Texas and you pay someone $80 to wash and blow-dry your hair.

→ My preferred learning style is “the hard way”. Like, when it's your first (and only) time bungee jumping, do not announce to a crowd “WATCH, I’M LIKE POCAHONTAS!”

→ Any excuse to wear sequins and I go full-sparkle. Sometimes I even get to wear sequins to work. I don’t always feel like a queen but I sure as hell do when I’m bossing people around while wearing a sparkly dress.

→ Yes, it was me who ate a piece of the bride & groom’s special pistachio cake at Stef & Jason’s wedding. In my defense, it wasn’t well-marked. And it *was* delicious.
→And no, I cannot be left unsupervised in a beautiful red theatre and expected to behave like an adult.

I could go on, but for now I’ll leave you with this:
BEHOLD, my middle school yearbook photos:

6th grade: Scottie dogs, a turtleneck, and Trump hair.
7th grade dating photographer school pic
7th grade: WTF happened to my eyebrows?! Apparently I had discovered tweezers…
8th grade dating photographer school pic
8th grade: Alright at least my eyebrows came back. But...so did sweater vests.
My mom says I'm getting better with age.

If spending half a day with me is starting to feel a little more doable — good. 

What you can expect from me as your dating photographer

When I take you on as a client, it’s because I genuinely like you and am invested in helping you meet your person.

Which means:

  • I don't expect you to know what you're doing (what to wear, what the hell to do with your hands, any of it). 
  • When it comes to feedback, I’ll give it to you straight
  • If you’re looking like a goober in any way — rogue hair, slouchy posture, something in your teeth — I will fix you.

“Although I had never met her before, Andrea acted like we had always been friends. She's spicy, she's fun, and she's not shy. She will make you feel the same.”

Bottom Line:

My photos have helped many people meet their life partner. There’s a good chance they’ll help you meet yours.

If you're worried this might not work for you — I'm not.

In fact, I'll just come right out and say it:

I’m about to take the best photos anyone has ever taken of you.

Just promise to invite me to your wedding.
