"I went from getting 1-2 matches per day to 20+. I'm honestly stunned."
- Marion K, 29
San Francisco is a beautiful city, but has an ultra-competitive dating scene. It's never been more important to make a great first impression online. That means that low-effort, bad-quality photos simply won't cut it these days.
We're a group of photographers who specialize in capturing candid, authentic dating profile photos. We coach you through the whole session. We show you how to look naturally confident on-camera, including poses and facial expressions. Your new tinder pics will be charismatic, authentic and geared towards conversion.
Because every online dating app prioritizes photos as the main deciding factor for matching. You could look like Brad Pitt in real life, but if your photos suck, you're not going to be connecting with many people.
Most people don't have great photos of themselves. So we scrap together whatever old photos we can find and hope for the best. We know these awkward selfies don't do us justice, but it's all we have.
An online dating photographer will help showcase all the great things you bring to the table. They'll show off your charisma, confidence and personality. The'll find all your best angles, help you look natural and deliver stunning photos that will stop people in their tracks.
Do you feel like you're getting the matches you deserve? Do you find yourself endlessly swiping and only getting a few matches each day?
We work with men and women of all ages, orientations and backgrounds. And while we think everyone could benefit from having great photos of themselves, there's a few areas where photos can really make a difference:
Bio Copywriting: The right bio can make or break your profile. That's why we've partnered with a professional copywriter to write an original, witty, custom-tailored bio based on your unique personality and goals.
* Included in Pro and All-Star packages
Relationship Coaching: Having the right mindset is key when dating. That's why we've partnered with Kimberly Hill (a stellar dating & relationship coach) to offer a complimentary 45-minute Zoom session for our clients. Kimberly works with professional men who are single and wanting to get back into the dating scene, but are unsure where to start, and how to move forward with clarity.
* Included in All-Star package
Personal Stylist/Shopper: Want to make sure you're dressing to impress? A personal stylist can work with you (either in-person or over Zoom) to coordinate your outfits.
Note: This isn't something we currently offer in-house, but we can refer you to the right people.
Our goal is to get you one of the highest-performing dating profiles in San Francisco. We've worked with hundreds of clients since launching in 2018. After 6 weeks we follow up to learn what worked (and what didn't). That way we can fine-tune our approach and ensure we're consistently the best photos for Tinder, Bumble and Hinge in the Bay Area.
The best way we can describe our style is "lifestyle". It's natural. Authentic. Real. Genuine. Unstaged.
It's not supposed to look like you hired someone to take photos of you all day... It should look like were out on the town, enjoying yourself, looking your best and one of your friends just happened to snap a photo with their fancy camera.
We treat our clients like friends during the shoot. We get you to laugh, open up and not take yourself too seriously. This natural laughter helps the photos look authentic and less staged.
We also let you change outfits during the shoot, giving you multiple different "looks". We then pair those with different backdrops so the photos don't look like they were taken all on the same day.
After all our research we've developed a recipe that produces high-impact dating profile photos. It's not rocket science, but here's the secret sauce:
Basically, people just want to see that you're a good, trustworthy person with hobbies, a career and a life.
We'll find all of your best angles and photograph you looking your very best. Your photos will showcase all of your best attributes, while highlighting your charm, personality and confidence.
We've worked with well over 300 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 how to accurately test/measure the performance of their photos, allowing them to see which photos work best for them.
After 6 weeks we follow up to learn what worked (and what didn't). This helps us better understand trends and seasonality data. It also helps us fine-tune our approach, allowing future clients to benefit from the learnings.

There's no shortage of eligible bachelors, especially in San Francisco... so why is online dating so difficult? Some people say it's because of the career-oriented demographics, but we say it's because people just aren't putting their best foot forward online.
Imagine having a dating profile that highlighted all your best attributes. New profile pics that show off your eyes, charisma and cheeky smile. A new dating bio that's smart, witty and original. Not only can this improve how many matches you get, but the boost to your self-confidence can help you actually enjoy online dating again.
We do the majority of our photoshoots downtown in San Francisco.
The reason we chose this location is simple: variety. We want to give you a variety of different looks/vibes to choose from. We also don't want it to look like all of your photos were taken on the same day.
Downtown, we can switch up the look just by walking half a block in any direction. Every time you do an outfit change, we switch up the backdrops to give you an aesthetic that matches.
☕️ Entrepreneurial? Let's head to a cafe patio and grab some shots of you working on your laptop.
🎨 Want to incorporate some urban flair? Endless alleyways with graffiti awaits you.
🌴 Feeling a little outdoorsy? We have the waterfront, or Sydney G. Walton Square.
🏙 Want something a little more upscale? We'll pop over to the financial district.
We've decided to stick 100% to downtown San Francisco.
We have nothing against Oakland, San Jose or Fremont... but by sticking to one location, we can learn it like the back of our hand to maximize our shooting time. This includes finding landmarks, backdrops and rad coffee shops (which is handy for outfit changes). This way we'll know just where the light will fall at certain times of day. We also know where to duck into if it starts raining.
There's an unlimited number of "looks" in San Francisco that we can incorporate into your shoot. Let's use that to our advantage!
For the most part, we use the restroom at local cafes/restaurants. All we have to do is order a drink and you're good to go!
And don't worry, we've scouted the cleanliest of restrooms (and the best tasting coffee brewers).
Get the most out of your new profile photos and use them on other online platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. Having a cohesive personal brand not only helps you stand out locally in
San Francisco
, but it also helps you build better connections online, too.

"The fact that they're constantly optimizing is what sold me. They measure client results on dating apps and use that data improve their strategy.
Very polished experience from start to finish. Onboarding was a breeze (guides, tutorials, etc.). The shoot was more fun than I expected. My tinder photographer coached me on poses and facial expressions. The photos turned out great. Got a really good bio, too.
And I started getting more matches the very first day. I've started recommending this to all of my single friends."

I relocated to the US 6 years ago from Russia. Since then, I've focused my time and energy on building my skillset as a photographer. I used to shoot all types of content, but I soon discovered my hidden skillset was photographing people.
In order to get a good photo of someone you have to connect with them. It's not just about the camera; it's about building a friendship so I can make you smile, laugh and let your guard down so we can capture stunning candid photos. My ability to connect with people is what sets me apart from other photographers.

I love being able to make regular people look incredible on-camera. I used to work with a modelling agency, so I can even help you to pose like a pro even if you've never had a photoshoot done before.
I want to make this a stress-free experience for you. I recommend bringing a few extra changes of clothes, so I can help you pick the outfits that will work best. We'll take care of all the planning and organization of everything so all you need to do is show up and enjoy yourself.
It doesn't matter are you're looking for more "right swipes" or to find the love of your live; having stunning pictures will make a world of difference. I love helping my clients get the best possible photos for Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or any other dating app you might be using.
Stable Cafe, 2128 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110
My favorite area of town to shoot portraits is definitely the Mission District. We'll start our shoot by meeting at Stable Cafe; one of my favorite coffee shops. This idyllic location has big windows with lots of natural light. They also have a huge backyard that we can utilize (depending on how busy it is).
From there we'll make our way around the Mission District since there's so many unique backdrops, buildings, art, architecture and interesting sights that we can incorporate into your photos.
My goal is to give you as many diverse photos as possible, so you have a range of photos for your profile.
I actually have a masters in science. So I didn't start my photography career until the pandemic! And it has been such an adventure. I am known in San Francisco as the fitness photographer, but I am also known to take amazing photos of people. My next chapter now is helping people capture their best moments. Which is why I am a Tinder Photographer.
