"Matched with my new partner literally the next day after switching my photos."
- Darnell F
Your photos are the most important part of your dating profile. So if you're using low-effort, low-quality profile photos, you're not going to have a great time. Unfortunately, most people don't have great hero shots of themselves that show them at their best.
That's where we come in. We specialize in working with beginners to showcase all the best parts about them. From their eyes, to their unique personality. We can help you build a dating profile that's real, authentic and effective for the Washington area.
After we deliver the photos, we measure the results of each of our clients. This helps us figure out exactly what photos are resonating in the Seattle area, which allows us to tailor our approach even better for future clients.
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.
Here's a few key reasons you should work with us to optimize your dating profiles.
We've helped over 1000 clients optimize their profiles, collecting data & insights along the way.
We'll show you exactly how to structure your profile for the best results. We're always optimizing.

All start all of our photoshoots near Pioneer Square in Seattle. This is the perfect area to capture authentic, lively urban portraits that don't look too staged.

From cafes, to character buildings, to parks, to urban graffiti and corporate high-rises.

Hi, I'm Madison! 👋
My name is Madison and I am a photographer based in Seattle. I grew up in the Southwest and love the contrast that Seattle has brought to my life.
I love making people feel confident and seen. Even if it’s your first time in front of a camera, I’ll provide a safe space to help you look and feel amazing!
I have been a photographer for over half my life! After watching my older sibling take photography courses in high school, I started taking photography seriously. When I entered high school, I took every photo class I could and never looked back. I continued through college and have worked in the photography industry ever since. It has been the only profession I could see myself in and it has brought me so many incredible experiences during my career!
When I see someone I'm going to photograph, I immediately begin taking mental notes about their expressions and angles. I think it's just in my nature at this point to see people in their proverbial and actual best light.
I don't think you can overstate how much a good portrait can mean to people. Showing someone how I see them, and how much confidence that can give them, is the best part of my job. Capturing that look that your loved ones know so well - that look that people fall in love with - and sharing that with others, is a really special responsibility to me.
"I typically hate photos of myself, so I was dreading my photoshoot...
Not only did the photos turn out great (I seriously can't believe I look that good), but the whole experience was top-notch.
The photoshoot was a blast. Plus all the little details like the onboarding emails, testing and execution guides, tips on what to wear, the copywriting...
This was my best investment of 2020. I'd recommend this to anyone."
Marcus, 29

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.
Most people don't have great photos. So we scrap together whatever old photos we can find, add in a few bathroom selfies and hope for the best. We know these awkward photos don't do us justice, but it's all we have.
