DATING PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCES

Dating Profile Photography Packages & Pricing

Three Levels of Support.
One Strategy-Led Approach

From a focused photo refresh to a complete dating-profile reset, every experience combines strategy, guided direction, and natural photography designed around who you are now.

Man photographed outdoors during a focused dating profile photography session

Foundational Experience

For clients who need a focused profile refresh without turning the whole thing into a production.

This is the right fit if you already feel mostly ready, but your current photos are outdated, unclear, or not making the first impression you want.

We’ll work in one intentional real-life setting with calm, clear direction so you leave with a strong set of natural, current images you can actually use.

Best for: A focused update, a first step back into dating, or replacing photos that no longer feel like you.

Man cooking at home during a lifestyle dating profile photography session

Signature Experience

For clients who want more time, variety, and room to settle in.

This is the experience most clients choose because it gives us space to create a fuller dating profile gallery — not just one good photo.

We’ll move through multiple settings, build momentum gradually, and create a mix of polished, candid, lifestyle, and personality-driven images that work together across your profile.

Best for: Clients who want a complete dating profile update with more range, more flexibility, and more breathing room.

Match Ready Profile Build-Out

Match Ready Intensive

Best for: Clients who want a complete dating-profile reset and the highest level of hands-on support across strategy, styling, photography, and profile development.

A complete dating photography and profile strategy experience for clients who want more than new photos — they want a stronger profile from the ground up.

This is the most personalized experience I offer, designed for clients who want deeper strategy, wardrobe support, expanded session time, and hands-on guidance around how their full dating profile comes together.

We’ll create a full image gallery, then use those photos intentionally — looking at what your profile may be communicating, what your photos need to say before someone ever reads your bio, and how your images, words, prompts, and overall first impression can work together with intention.

Profile Launch Strategy

Photo Order Strategy

Not everyone needs the same kind of help. These focused options are available when you want additional support with wardrobe, choosing and ordering your images, launching your profile, or preparing files for use across apps and social platforms.

For the point where good photos still need a smart rollout. This focused strategy service helps you make intentional decisions around your profile launch, image use, and how the pieces come together when you’re ready to put the updated profile live.

Already have the photos but unsure which should lead—or whether your current lineup tells the right story? I’ll recommend the strongest selection and sequence based on variety, first impressions, and how the images work together.

App + Social Image Set

Optimized, web-ready versions of your selected images sized for dating apps and social platforms, so your photos are ready to use without awkward crops or unnecessary guesswork.
