Get stunning, high-converting portraits for online dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Match.com. It's the easiest way to improve both the quantity and quality of your matches.
"I went from getting 1-2 matches per day to 20+. I'm honestly stunned."
- Marion K, 29
Photos are arguably the most important part of your dating profile. So why use a random collection of old, out-of-date photos that don't show how amazing you really are? Ditch the fish-photos and bathroom selfies and trade-in for photos that highlight all of your best attributes.
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.
We believe that everyone deserves to fall in love. That's why we've spent 3+ years researching exactly what makes a high-converting photo. Our photos are optimized specifically for dating apps like Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. You'll get stunning, authentic photos that showcase your charisma, confidence and personality - shot in a way that doesn't look too "posed" or "staged."
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.

We're spoiled for options. Not only does British Columbia have mild weather all year round, but here in Victoria we have an abundance of greenery, rustic buildings and eye-catching architecture. We'll know exactly where to take you based on the look/vibe you're going for.
90% of our photoshoots take place in the downtown core of Victoria, BC. We chose this location because we can optimize the number of looks you get from a single shoot. When shooting downtown, we can quickly bring you to different areas and capture a completely different "vibe".
The remaining 10% of shoots happen in Cook Street Village. This area of town is picturesque, with lots of trendy lighting, cafes and storefronts to choose from. It's also a block away from Beacon Hill Park so we can incorporate some outdoorsy vibes into our shoot.
One of the apparent downsides of living in BC is the rain (but we still prefer it to snow). If it's the standard light-rain that will pass in 10 minutes, we'll just dip under the cover of awnings and storefronts to keep shooting.
But if weather is calling for "atmospheric rivers", then we'll just postpone the shoot until the next clear day (no charge, of course). We want you to enjoy the shoot, not battle the elements.
Absolutely!
We'll put it this way - we're pretty much experts at working with absolute beginners. The majority of our clients have never had a photoshoot done before, so it's totally normal for them to be a little nervous going into it.
"How should I be standing right now?"
"How can I smile without it looking fake?"
"What do I do with my hands?"
We'll coach you through the entire session to make sure these photos look casual and effortless. 👌
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
Victoria
, but it also helps you build better connections online, too.

"Since creating my tinder and bumble profiles I've had 51 likes on Tinder and 37 on Bumble...
(...) At no point in my history of using any dating apps have I ever seen numbers above 10 likes over a month or more. So this is completely foreign territory to me.

I've been a photographer for 10+ years, but I really found my love for taking portraits in 2018.
I've been a photographer for 10+ years, but I really found my love for taking portraits in 2018.
I'm going to be honest - I never dreamed I'd start a company that photographs people for their dating profiles. But as soon as I had my first few clients, I knew this is something I was going to love because of the transformation I see in my clients.
Most guys don't have a single photo of themselves that they love. In fact, the majority of my clients say they "hate photos of themselves" or that they're not photogenic. But that's simply not true, everyone has a good side, you just haven't worked with a photographer that's been willing to find yours yet.
I specialize in working with total beginners who have never had a photoshoot before. I coach them on the best poses and expressions to bring off their personality and showcase their confidence. The best part? It's never as difficult as they think it'll be. I get to help regular, everyday men and women look like rockstars in their photos. I really do feel like I have the best job in the world.
Shatterbox Coffee, 1701 Douglas St, Victoria, BC V8W 0C1
There are so many scenic areas in Victoria to take dating portraits, but my favourite area of Victoria is the downtown core. It's filled with interesting architecture, hip coffee shops, gorgeous public interiors and charming rustic backdrops.
My favourite route starts from Shatterbox Coffee (in the Victoria Public Square building) and making my way towards the waterfront. We'll stop at various spots like Chinatown or Trounce Alley, depending on the overall vibe you're going for.
We understand that this is a fairly new concept, but don't worry - our team is here to help you every step of the way! We've answered a few common questions below, but if you want a full breakdown on our process, check out our FAQ page (below).
