No! Would you go into a job interview without combing your hair or wearing wrinkled clothing? Presenting your BEST self, in the best light will get you noticed! If you post a blurry, dark, low-quality cell phone image, how do you expect to be noticed?

Make the decision to change your life and meet with me. You will see it will be fun! I can help you feel confident and comfortable so you can relax and just smile.

People will feel like they almost "know" you, by looking clearly into your eyes. I take my photos, with my camera attached to an iPad. This allows you to see the photo immediately after it is taken. How amazing is that; to have immediate feedback on how you look?

We can then change the pose or the expression and move on, building your confidence as we go. You can post this great shot after I have gently retouched it to show off your best features without changing your personality.

Your eyes will sparkle, your smile will be genuine and suddenly the spotlight will be on you! The Online Dating Photographer Los Angeles can help!

Hmm. I suspect that is why you are reading this website. Well, most people have tried to do just that (the mirror "duck face", the wide-angle unflattering selfie, the "in the mirror" shot) and that is why they get lost in the piles of online dating profiles without getting noticed.

I am guessing you have already tried that...and that is why you are tired of staying single, and you have read the website to this point already! Lighting changes the way you look as this article illustrates. Trying it yourself is brave, but may not be fruitful. I am not trying to convince anyone not to take that route. As a matter of fact, I think it will help your profile to post a mix of both professional and candids to show a full selection of who you really are. I am confident my unique blend of artistic skills, both photographically and as a retouch artist, will keep you looking true to your personality and the best you can be!

The secret to a great photo is what happens behind the camera, the conversation, the fun, the interaction that results in those amazing expressions. This type of natural rapport is kind of hard to do by yourself or with an amateur photographer who does not know how to react quickly to catch the moment in the right light. Working with me will provide you a great opportunity to create an amazing profile photo to help you meet Mr. or Ms. Right in LA!

I can help you capture your intangible inner sparkle… Don't take my word for it, read my 200+ 5-Star Reviews on Yelp and Google.

I wouldn't recommend that either. Our goal will be to discuss who you are and who you want to meet. You don't want to put on a show and then end up with the wrong type of match. I've read that many women want to get responses so they may show a bit too much cleavage. They get responses - (too many in fact!) but are those the type of men you want really meet?

We want to target your "look" to match the person you ultimately want to end up with. That takes discussion and understanding. We will then move forward with a portrait design session to talk about clothing, props, colors, hair, nails, makeup, location (indoor, outdoor, studio) to make a plan for what suits you best! I do have makeup artists and hair stylists available if that is what you want, I can also guide you on makeup and hair if you would like to do it yourself.

Whew! I'm glad you got that out of the way! Over the last two decades shooting in Los Angeles, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that! I know the "fear" can be very real. Thus the "need" for a professional who makes you feel at ease! That is 90% of my job because if I can't get you to relax and feel happy in front of the lens then I shouldn't be doing what I do.

I'm passionate about making YOU look the best you can look! Please read my reviews to see what hundreds of my clients have shared. After that first picture shows up on the iPad as I take your photos, you will immediately relax and know the rest of the images will be as good, if not better! We will have a great time together and you will leave with amazing online dating photos, the first step in meeting that very special person!

Well, no one knows better than you what suits you best, but I reiterate, you are reading this website for a reason!

Not to worry, our session is 30 minutes to shoot, 30 minutes to select in our LA studio. In an hour you can put it all behind you...but trust me, it will be a fun experience and a great memory AND the results will pay off, giving you a much better chance to rise above the rest to meet your special someone!
