Nope. I'm available to shoot in and around Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Long Beach, Malibu, Beverly Hills, DTLA, Santa Monica, Topenga, Santa Barbara, OC...

I travel anywhere within the United States and the world for a reasonable fee. Travel and lodging fees may apply.

You can come to me. Los Angeles is a beautiful place to visit and the sun is almost always shining! Many clients book an Air B&B or hotel which we use to work out of. You can use the time to treat yourself. Or you can stay with a friend.

Once we decide where we will shoot then we pick a location. I've had great success shooting in and around people's homes, apartments, hotels, parks, and often specific places that mean a lot to my clients. A horse lover planned some of her photos to be shot at the stables where she boards her beloved horse.

A client came from Canada in the winter to be photographed barefoot on the beach in Malibu in a sequined gown and bathing suit. She cherishes her photos and has them framed on her wall.

We can dream up the perfect location for you that reflects your passion and lifestyle.

I've had clients fly me to Washington, D.C, Florida and other locations. Reach out to me, I might be in a town near you soon.

Travel costs can be split by multiple clients shoots booked in the same area.

In general, for the most authentic dating profile photos, I like to choose a location that’s relevant to you. Whether it’s your hood or a favorite area to spend time (like doing dating photography on the beach in Malibu), or maybe it’s just somewhere with that gritty urban vibe that you love (like capturing dating app photos in DTLA). We'll choose a rendezvous spot and shoot your online dating photos in the surrounding area. For longer dating photoshoots we may drive to multiple locations.

You do not need to know what you're doing to have stunning dating app photos. Let me say it louder for the people in the back: 

YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Your only job is to have a good attitude, be present, and follow directions. 

I create a custom plan which leads up to your photoshoot day.

We schedule a phone call, Zoom or FaceTime. I get to know you and how I can help create the most beautiful version of you. Starting with what you will wear, styling your hair, makeup, location.

What to wear: I urge you to go through your closet. You can send me photos in your outfits. We discuss what looks are most flattering and make you feel feminine, sensual and strong.

Personal Shopping & Closet Curating: I offer the option of closet editing in real life or virtually and one on one personal shopping for an additional cost.

Hair & Makeup: We talk about how you want to be seen. Some clients have their hair done by their stylists right before their shoots. Others hire a glam squad to come the day of the shoot to do their hair and makeup.

I typically take hundreds, sometimes thousands of images of you. I find that it takes about 4 hours and hundreds of photos of each outfit to get the most natural photos of you. I help direct you to create loose, flirty, fun, sensual, warm and beautiful photos of you with movement that stand out on the dating apps.

After the shoot I process the RAW files into JPEG photos which I edit down to the best images. I upload my favorites to your online gallery. I typically give you a few hundred photos. You have the option to download, order print products and share to friends and social media directly from your online gallery.

Here is an example of a typical gallery: gallery link

I edit, process and upload my favorite images of you to your own online gallery.

You can share a link with friends, post to social media, download some or the entire shoot, and order print products.

I do not. I am confident that you will be get the results you are looking for.

Unlike most dating profile or lifestyle photographers I've been shooting for 30+ years. I've shot thousands of movie stars, models, portraits and worked with the best magazines, hair and makeup people, stylists, editors, and luxury clients worldwide.

You will feel relaxed and confident when you get in front of my camera.

I shoot very fast. I am an expert a using daylight to bring out a lightness to the images. I have the ability to bring out the most flattering and beautiful energy out of you.

Not only can we update your LinkedIn profile photo during your dating photography session, we really should! 

Many people (especially women dating men) like to cross-reference someone they matched with on a dating app like Match, Hinge or Bumble as a bit of reassurance that you're real, you are who you say you are, etc.. LinkedIn is great for this because it tends to be a reputable platform as far as social media is concerned, plus it lists things like your job title which should match the job you list on your dating profile. 

If your dating profile photos are top-notch but then someone lands on your awkward or outdated corporate LinkedIn profile picture it can be disappointing. I always recommend that people do a LinkedIn profile photo update while we're upgrading their online dating photos.

I shoot dating app photos for people from outside the Seattle area often! In fact a good chunk of my dating photography clients are from all over the country. I've even had people come from as far as Canada, Texas, all over.! We typically handle it one of two ways:

1. you come to Los Angeles for your dating photoshoot. Most clients who do this choose to stay with a friend or book a hotel room, or Air B&B for the night before the photoshoot. They can get their hair and makeup done the next morning and we will shoot all afternoon to get the beautiful Los Angeles sunsets. Working out of a hotel room and on the grounds of a beautiful hotel property add a lot to the experience and the photos.

2. I come to you. This would involve a fee in addition to the price of the dating photoshoot to cover the cost of my travel to and from the location and lodging if necessary. Call me and we can discuss.

I travel often. Some clients get a few people together to split my travel costs.

I can shoot as a local in New York City and Washington, D.C.
