Portrait (for the Apps) Sessions

In this modern world, basic snapshots won’t do when you want a curated and attention-grabbing online profile. I help people wanting to up-level their dating profiles with flattering, relaxed portraits that showcase their interests and personality. My portrait sessions are also perfect for folks needing some quick headshots to update their professional profiles or young folks commemorating their senior year.

A Portraits (for the Apps) Session is Perfect For You If… 

Reason No.1

You’re revamping or creating a new online dating or professional profile and you want compelling, flattering portraits that don’t look overly staged or Photoshopped. You want images that feel like the real you, just beautifully lit and a little more polished than your everyday snapshot.

Reason No.2

You’re in a certain chapter in life that feels important to document. Maybe you’re about to graduate high-school or college? Maybe there is a new job on the horizon? Maybe you’re embracing that this is the youngest you’ll ever be and why not have pretty portraits made just because you want to.

Reason No.3

You’ve put off having photos made because you hate being in front of the camera. The good news is I consider half my job is making you feel comfortable and relaxed. Nearly all of my portrait clients have felt the same way you do and they all report their session experience felt easy and even fun. 😉
