dating Profile photos that actually work.
A common concern: “Won’t the photos look too professional?”
The goal isn’t to make you look like a model in an ad campaign. It’s to make you look like the most attractive, natural version of yourself.
Two things keep the photos grounded:
The approach: Most dating photos miss because they don’t feel real. The angle is off, the pose feels stiff, or the photo looks overly curated. We shoot with intention — the way someone would actually see you walking up to meet them, sitting across the table, or across the room. Photos that feel believable and easy to picture yourself in.
The lens: We primarily shoot on a 35mm lens, which is wider and more natural-looking than a traditional 85mm portrait lens. It’s closer to how the human eye sees, creating photos that feel more authentic, immersive, and true to life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes! Hate it or love it, success in online dating almost entirely comes down to how well you’re being presented in your photos. Because of this, my mission is to capture some of the best photos of you EVER taken.
I have spent years honing my skills as a portrait photographer specifically to make you look your best. My clients regularly rave about the photos we take and I’ve even ran into a past client on a date before! He excitedly but stealthily came over to me at the bar and whispered “It WORKED!“
Absolutely no modeling experience is necessary at Fresh Image. My job is to make you comfortable and tell you exactly how to stand, where to look, and how to pose your face. The only thing you have to do is show up!
A 100% free styling consultation video call is included for all 3 Look and 6 Look sessions. In this call, we select your outfits and decide whether any additional clothing items need to be purchased before the shoot.
We will schedule your styling consultation via email or text after you book your shoot date.
The day of your shoot, I will send you an itemized list of all the items we chose during the Styling Consultation to ensure we don’t forget anything!
The point of view of a dating profile photo is often overlooked. During our shoot, I’ll both pose you and choose angles very intentionally to emulate how a woman would see you in real life. Whether that means checking you out from far away, or sitting at a table with you enjoying a laugh, she’ll be able to easily imagine herself sharing that moment with you.
There’s a common saying in the photography industry that the lens you use matters much more than your camera. This is because different lenses can completely change the structure of an image.
I primarily use a 35 mm lens which is much wider (less zoomed-in) than a standard 85 mm “portrait lens”. This makes the photos feel more intimate and less like they are looking at you through a telescope. The 35 mm also reduces the feeling that the photos are overly professional and manicured.
For reference, a standard iPhone camera on 1x uses a 24 mm lens, so the photos we’ll take are much more similar in feel to photos she’s used to seeing in day to day life— just WAY better!
We’ll decide on location together right after booking.
I have several standard locations in my repertoire where I take most of my clients. Each one has a significant amount of variety to ensure distinct looks between outfits.
*These locations are not mandatory. If you have a specific location in mind, I’m all ears!
All photos are delivered within 7 days of the photoshoot. Once your photos are ready, I’ll you a link to the photo portfolio in Google Drive for easy access and download.
