Online dating is hard enough these days without the stress of choosing photos for your profile. With all that swiping it’s hard not to notice the cliche, repetitive images of bathroom selfies, blurred-out ex’s, and headshot photos that look like they’re from the 90’s.

So when clients reach out to me in need of images for online dating, I’m totally on board and more than happy to help create some new photos for their profile that actually look good and make them stand out from the crowd. For Ryan, we chose a studio in Pioneer Square for his backdrop. He was a little nervous at the beginning, but by the end, he was totally killin’ it and giving me all the good stuff!

Online dating is pretty much the new norm and professional photography is more necessary than ever if you want to make an impression and be taken seriously. So invest in yourself and make it happen! You’re worth it!

Pro-tip for guys: Go to Nordstrom and ask for a styling session in the mens’ department. The associates are really great at putting outfits together for photoshoots that reflect your style and personality.
