"It took a few hours, but now the matches won't stop rolling in."
- Pete , Houston
Dating in Houston (or in Texas in general) can be tricky... but I'm sure you already know that. When it comes to online dating, photos are the single most important part of your dating profile. It doesn't matter if you're on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or any of the other dating apps. If your photos suck, your experience on these apps will, too.
The good news? You don't need to reinvent the wheel or pretend to be someone you're not. Authenticity is key. We specialize in capturing stunning, authentic photos that show off all your best attributes. We can genuine, candid photos of you so we can build an optimized, high-converting dating profile that gets you more matches in the Houston area.
After hundreds of clients, tests and optimization strategies we're confident that we know what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to online dating. For us, it's not just about taking a pretty photo. It's about taking a photo that achieves a measurable result in your dating life.
We've worked with well +1,000 clients since 2018. In this time, we've learned a LOT about what works (and what doesn't). We continuously try to improve our understanding of effective dating photography, including:
Dating apps don't have built-in analytics, so we've built a custom testing framework that shows our clients how to measure the performance of their photos.
After 6 weeks we follow up to learn what worked (and what didn't). This helps us better understand current trends, seasonality, location factors and more. It also helps us fine-tune our approach, allowing future clients to benefit from the learnings.
After all our research we've developed a recipe that produces high-performance dating profiles. It's not rocket science, but here's the secret sauce:
Basically, people just want to see that you're a good, trustworthy person. They want to see that you have a life (hobbies, career, etc.) and they want to know they're going to be safe with you.
We'll find all of your best angles and photograph you looking your very best. Your photos will showcase all of your best assets, while highlighting your charm, personality and confidence.
Our style is often referred to as "candid lifestyle". It's natural, unposed, unstaged, authentic and in the moment.
It's not supposed to look like you hired someone to take photos of you all day. Instead it will look like you were out enjoying your day, and one of your friends just happened to snap a photo with their fancy camera.
We're going to be your best friend on shoot day.
We'll get you to laugh, open up and not take yourself so seriously. These natural laughs will help the photos look authentic and genuine.
We also let you change outfits during the shoot, giving you multiple different looks from one session. Each time you change your outfit, we'll bring you to a new backdrop nearby that suits what you're wearing.
When the shoot is done you'll have a private gallery of authentic, high-converting photos to use on your dating apps.

From Buffalo Bayou Park to the Marvin Taylor Exercise Trail, there's no shortage of amazing locations and backdrops in Houston to choose from. We've picked a few key spots in the city that offer a multitude of different backdrops all within walking distance. That way you can get multiple different "looks" from a single session.
We have two locations to choose from: Downtown and Greater Heights area.
1. Downtown (with Nghia)
We love shooting in the area near Main Street in downtown Houston because of the variety of backdrops that the colorful storefronts and interesting architecture provides.
We would start at Day 6 Coffee and make our way down the Main Street area. (Day 6 Coffee Co, 910 Prairie St Suite 100, Houston, TX 77002)
2. Greater Heights (with Joy)
This area has trendy coffee shop and a lot of unique textured walls that we can incorporate into your photos. If you're looking for more nature/greenery background, we can also walk into the nearby neighborhoods where there's a ton of lush greens.
We'll meet at on Yale St. and make our way around the neighborhood. (Local Foods, 714 Yale St, Houston, TX 77007)
Hi, I'm Nghia! 👋
I'm a photographer based in Houston, TX and I'm here to help you take the best photos for dating apps!
I never thought I'd be an online dating photographer, but after helping my friends spruce up their dating pics in the past I figured that I would begin helping other people improve their dating profiles.
Most of my friends and clients have never been in front of the camera before so I've got plenty of experience in guiding and coaching beginners.
Hi, I'm Joy! 👋
I am a photographer based in Houston, TX, specialized in portrait photography.
When you choose me as your online dating photographer, you can expect me to hype you up at the shoot, guide you on posing throughout the process, give you recommendations on props/outfits prior, and most importantly - make you feel comfortable and confident in yourself in front of the camera so we can capture candid moments and genuine smiles.
I've been doing photography professionally since 2019. It started off by taking graduation pictures for friends when I was still a sophomore in college. It has then expanded into lifestyle, branding, and online dating pictures in 2021.
Photography started off as a hobby and it became a passion to make other people happy and feel confident when they see themselves through the way I see them in my lens. I truly feel grateful to have the opportunity to make a small impact in someone's journey in finding love!
"I'm going to be honest - I was skeptical. I mean, Is it really worth it to hire a dating photographer?
But after my breakup I realized I didn't have any recent photos of myself. My photographer was knowledgable, patient and super easy to work with. I couldn't believe how good I looked in my photos!
My matches pretty much went through the roof, too. A+ experience all around."
Terry, 37

Because every online dating app prioritizes photos. You could look like Brad Pitt in real life, but if your photos suck and people can't see that - then you're not going to be matching with many people.
