If your photos don't work, nothing else matters

Without proper dating photos, nobody is even going to see the rest of your profile. Which means your chances of meeting someone great are near zero.

It usually goes something like this:

🫥 Feeling invisible — hardly getting matches (and none that excite you)

👻 Getting ghosted — matches you do get go nowhere

🫠 Burning out — constant swiping with little payoff is wearing you down
THIS IS ME - HELP!

One Photoshoot Can Change Everything

From invisible→seen →liked→matched

The good news is, dating photos are fixable. And I'm damn good at fixing them. 

Here's what happens when your dating photos work:

✔️ You get more likes & matches. Often lots more. 

✔️ You have more conversations, and better ones.

✔️ You go on dates. Maybe many dates!

✔️ You have options, instead of scarcity.

Better dating photos = more likes & matches

Not just because you look better, but because it's clear to women that you're making an effort (this is huge)

But don't take my word for it...

It’s basically like the Hinge profile I shared before but I’ve gotten 40+ likes and matches and started conversations with 9 women. I have 20+ profiles to look through to see if I want to match with them. All in about 6 hours. This is crazy! Your pictures make all the difference.”

When your dating photos are working for you, online dating gets easy. 

✔️ You're connecting with women you're interested in

✔️ They're interested in YOU (the real you, because your photos are honest)

✔️ You feel more confident and grounded 

✔️ You're less likely to settle because you actually have choices

A peek behind the scenes on a Seattle dating photo shoot

No awkward posing. Just me directing, you being yourself.

The magic behind dating photos that actually work

The secret isn’t the camera or the lighting — it’s the energy in the room.
When we shoot, I’m not asking you to smile or hold still. We’re talking, laughing, exploring, teasing, telling stories. You forget there’s a camera because you’re too busy enjoying yourself.

That’s when the good stuff happens — in the in-between moments when your guard is down and your real personality comes through. 

That spark of presence is what people respond to on dating apps — it’s what makes someone stop scrolling and feel something, and think, “He seems amazing.”

This is why my dating photos get such incredible results for my clients.  They’re not performances — they’re a glimpse of who you actually are.

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

- Nick
"I don't know how to pose in photos but with Andrea it was easy because it didn't really feel like I was posing."

This is not your average photoshoot

Professional photos are better than selfies — for sure.
But what I do isn’t just “professional.” It’s personal.

My Proven Dating Photography Method

Documentary-style → photos of you in your element, doing the things you enjoy

Candid →  moments of real expression, not rehearsed smiles

Personal → photos that tell a specific, multi-dimensional story about *you*

Other Dating Profile Photographers

Staged → photos that look good but feel fake

Posed  → focused on looking cool instead of being real

Generic → nice-looking portraits but no clues about who you are 

The difference? My photos don’t just show what you look like — they capture what it feels like to be with you.

In case you're wondering...

I'm not photogenic, will this work for someone like me?
Absolutely. Almost everyone who hires me for dating photography starts with, “I’m so awkward in photos.” It doesn’t matter how camera-shy or introverted you are — I will make you look effortless, confident, and magnetic.

This is not like other photoshoots (because I'm not like other photographers). Yes, I will coach you on how to move and what the hell to do with your hands but mostly we'll be having one long running conversation and I'll be shooting the whole time, capturing you as you really are, not as you are when you're trying to pose for a picture. Your only job is to show up with a good attitude and follow my lead.

I don't live in Seattle, do you work with non-locals?
I sure do! Many of my clients are based in the greater Seattle area — from Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont, Greenlake, and South Lake Union to Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland. Every session is custom-planned around locations that are authentic and natural to you, so your photos tell your real story.

I also frequently work with out of state clients in one of two ways -- some fly to Seattle for their photoshoot, some fly me to them. Whether you’re local or not, I’ll guide you through the process so you get a seamless, high-level experience and a set of photos that actually work on the apps.
Will you help me decide what to wear for my dating photos?
Indeed I will! Your dating photo experience includes a one-on-one Zoom style session with a professional personal stylist.

They’ll help you pull together flattering, photo-ready outfits from your own closet (and shop if you want some new clothes). You'll show up on shoot day 100% confident in what you’re wearing.

What if I already have a couple of great dating photos?
Fantastic! I'll help you identify which photos from your camera roll (if any) are worth keeping in your dating profile.

*If there's a stellar shot or two on your dating profile, but the profile is performing poorly (few to no matches with the kinds of women you want to date), you may need throw that baby out with the bathwater in favor of a full algorithmic reset -- don't worry I'll walk you through the why and how.

Stellar dating photos are like a Ferrari engine. But engine ≠ car. You still have to build the car. If you don’t have time or don't know how (spoiler alert: you probably don’t), that’s what the Total Package is for.

It’s a complete Hinge profile optimized to run like a high-performing vehicle for meeting your forever partner.
