About your seattle dating photographer

Hi! I'm Andrea
A woman with a camera leans against a mirror, smiling, as she photographs a person lifting dumbbells in a gym.

My photos have helped many men meet their girlfriends and future wives. There’s a good chance they’ll help you meet yours.

If you don't love having your picture taken, you're in good company (and great hands).

And if you're worried this might not work for you — I'm not. In fact:

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

But don't take my word for it, read my reviews → 

My Background

Before I began photographing people for their dating profiles, I taught photography at a large public high school.

If you can get a room of 32 self-conscious teenagers to trust you, try something new, and care about the outcome, getting one adult to relax in front of a camera is no biggie.

I have a BA in fine art and an MA in education. That skill combo (visual communication + information processing) turns out to be a great combo for strategic dating photography.

What I believe about attraction, love, and dating apps

  • The single most important decision in our lives is who we choose as our life partner.
  • Everyone benefits when more people are in healthy, stable love relationships.
  • Dating apps are the most powerful tool that’s ever existed for meeting a compatible mate (and they’re hard as hell to leverage when you’re a normal person and don’t have good photos).
  • You don’t need to be transformed to be attractive and lovable — to the right people, you already are.

What you can expect from me as your dating photographer

I’m choosy about who I work with. If I take you on as a dating photography client, it’s because I like you and I’m genuinely invested in helping you meet your person.

How this shows up:

  • When it comes to feedback, I’ll give it to you straight
  • If you’re looking like a goober, I will swoop in and fix you (hair, posture, something in your teeth)
  • I may swear a little. If you swear too, I may swear a lot.

Not only is your dating photoshoot not going to suck, you'll probably enjoy it

If you’re wondering, “Okay but...is she cool?"

Here’s the truth — I’m not cool. But I am fun.

A few things you should know about me:

  • If we are eating out in public and there are sauces available, I *will* embarrass you with my sauce consumption. I go nuts for sauces and toppings (and food in general).
  • If you live in my neighborhood I will immediately learn your dog's name but may have to ask yours several times.
  • During photoshoots I have been known to occasionally eat shit — usually leaning on objects that don’t hold my weight. If I'm heading for calamity, yell our safe word (it’s CORNDOG).
  • If there is a wildlife encounter or we come across a rope swing, all prior plans get paused.

“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.”
