Swipe culture moves fast. You have seconds to make someone pause long enough to think, “I’d like to meet them.” A professional online dating photographer does more than snap pictures; they translate who you are (and who you’re becoming) into scroll-stopping images that feel real.
If you’re here, you’re not looking for “just a few decent photos.”
You’re stepping into a new chapter—post-divorce, after a bold career move, or mid-glow-up—ready to be seen in a way that feels powerful, authentic, and absolutely magnetic.
The Magnetic Portrait Experience is my highest-touch offering: a three-hour, concierge-style session crafted for intentional daters who value time, privacy, and bespoke guidance.
What You’ll Receive | Why It Matters |
---|---|
Unlimited Twin Cities locations—hand-picked to echo your story, whether that’s a North Loop rooftop, a riverfront trail, or your own living room. | Your photos look curated, not canned. Every backdrop feels like you, elevating first impressions instantly. |
5–10 styled outfits—planned together on a Zoom wardrobe consult. | No second-guessing. We define looks that showcase range: polished, laid-back, adventurous—whatever resonates with your dating goals. |
75+ professionally edited images—delivered in a private gallery plus a luxury USB for safekeeping. | You won’t have to choose “just three favorites.” Use different images across apps, socials, even LinkedIn—without extra fees. |
Profile-audit, first-message frameworks, and a first-date starter pack. | Because premium portraits deserve premium strategy. From bio tweaks to conversation cues, you get the tools to connect with purpose. |
Who books this experience?
If that’s you, let’s start curating images that capture the energy of this next season—confident, aligned, undeniably magnetic.
When premium clients type dating app photographer near me, they’re usually looking for more than convenience. They want:
As a Twin Cities native, I curate locations that quietly flex local-insider credibility:
These micro-location choices keep your images looking intentional, effortless, and distinctly you—so when someone within 20 miles of your ZIP code swipes right, the setting already feels familiar and inviting.
And that’s exactly what a premium online-dating experience should do: lower resistance, spark curiosity, and start the connection before the first message is even sent.
Q: I’m awkward in front of the camera.
A: Nearly every client says this in their inquiry. My guided posing and genuine conversation melt away camera jitters within minutes.
Q: What if I’m not 100 percent sure how I want to look?
A: We map that in your 90-minute pre-planning call—covering vibe, wardrobe, and the impressions (confident, trustworthy, adventurous) you want your photos to convey.
Q: Do you only shoot in Minneapolis?
A: Minneapolis–St. Paul is home base, but I travel for select Magnetic sessions. Looking for an “online dating photographer near me” in Duluth, Madison, or Chicago? Reach out; we’ll craft a travel quote.
Your portraits set the stage; these curated add-ons make sure the rest of your profile works just as hard as your photos.
Add-On | What It Is | Why It Matters |
---|---|---|
🎬 Behind-the-Scenes Video Clip | A 10- to 15-second vertical reel captured during your session—laughing over latte art, tossing a tennis ball for your dog, or strolling North Loop at golden hour. | Video prompts on Hinge, Bumble, and Facebook Dating get up to 4× more engagement than still images alone. Let potential matches feel your energy, not just see your smile. |
📝 Bio Polish + First-Message Frameworks | A quick-turnaround audit of your existing bio, plus fill-in-the-blank openers that sound nothing like “Hey there 😊.” | Great photos deserve great words. This add-on turns profile lurkers into confident conversation starters—so your new images convert, not just collect likes. |
🔄 One-Year Refresh Session (Pre-Pay & Save 25 %) | A shorter follow-up session you can redeem anytime in the next 12 months—perfect after a haircut, promotion, or personal milestone. | Online dating algorithms reward fresh content. Locking in a discounted refresh keeps your profile ranking high for “dating photographer near me” searches—and keeps you feeling current and confident all year long. |
Small upgrades, big impact. Clients who invest in one or more of these enhancements report faster match rates, more meaningful conversations, and stronger in-person chemistry—exactly what a premium online-dating experience should deliver.
“The prompts and photo pairings are really well done. You’re taking the grind out of profile-building! I’m building my Hinge and Bumble profiles offline and will publish after Hawaii. You’re giving me fewer reasons to procrastinate.”
— Jon, Magnetic Portrait Experience Client
Jon booked The Magnetic Portrait Experience after months of stalling on updating his dating apps. He knew first impressions were everything—yet dreaded the cycle of selfies and generic bio lines.
Here’s what changed after his session:
Before | After |
---|---|
Endless procrastination—“I’ll update my profile next week.” | Finished Hinge + Bumble drafts within 48 hours of receiving his gallery. |
“ChatGPT-ish” bios that felt impersonal. | Custom bio polish + prompt pairings that sounded like him, not a bot. |
Analysis-paralysis on photos (too many selfies, no variety). | 75+ curated images, pre-sorted into best “First Photo,” “Lifestyle Photo,” “Conversation-Starter Photo,” etc. |
Inconsistent profile vibe across apps. | Unified look that feels confident, genuine, and visually magnetic. |
“From my research, so much of online apps is first impression from pictures and pithy, genuine prompts. You’ve given me a huge leg up here. So happy with my pics!”
— Jon
The Takeaway: Premium portraits are only half the story; strategic guidance turns photos into connections. Jon headed to Hawaii with a ready-to-publish profile, proof that a guided, high-touch experience doesn’t just look good—it removes the friction that keeps most people stuck at “someday.”
