Let's be real. If your dating photos look like you cropped out your ex, used your bathroom mirror, or your face is in shadow (but hey, great parking lot lighting), it's time to level up. I see you. I've been there. As your trusted South Shore MA dating photographer, I've got you.
I spent eight years swiping through the chaos that is online dating before finally meeting my now-husband. It felt like a part-time job: messaging, ghosting, weird emojis, and wondering if someone actually thought that blurry car selfie was gonna win hearts.
Here’s the truth:
Your photos are the first impression you make, and you have got less than 3 seconds to grab someone's attention before they swipe on by. That is not a lot of time to scream, "I'm a badass with a kind heart and decent taste in coffee."
But that's where I come in.
Because your future partner deserves to see the real you, not the guy lurking in the shadows with laundry in the background or the woman half-cropped out of a group brunch pic. These photos will help you show up with confidence, humor, and authenticity (without the awkwardness).
Whether you're a dating app rookie or swiping pro, a solid photo set can make a huge difference in the kind of people you attract. As your go-to South Shore MA dating photographer I'll make sure you get noticed!
I also bring something most photographers don't. I have a Master of Social Work and 21 years behind the camera. I understand the psychology of self-image, confidence, and the very real anxiety that comes with putting yourself out there after a breakup, a divorce, or years away from dating. My job is not just to take great photos. It is to make sure you feel like yourself in them.
Better Dating Profile Photos = Better Matches. Period.

Let's Do this
We start with a quick chat. Nothing scary, no pressure. Just a casual conversation to get to know each other. We'll talk about what kind of vibe you're going for, pick your date, and choose locations that actually reflect who you are.
Not sure what you want? That's literally my job. I'll help guide you.
get in touch and book a call
tell me about the
Process
Before your shoot, I'll send over a short questionnaire to help me get to know you better. Your personality, what kind of matches you're hoping to attract, your style, and any insecurities you're working through (totally normal, by the way).
Then we hop on a planning call to:
- Talk wardrobe and styling (don't worry, I'll help you avoid any 'this was a mistake' outfits)
- Nail down the overall feel of the session
- Make sure you're walking in feeling prepared, not panicked
Want to show up feeling fully pampered? Add hair and makeup for $150 and my glam team will handle the rest.
pre-planning meeting
This is where the magic happens. For one hour, you'll feel like an absolute star, even if you've never had your photo taken professionally.
I'll direct you the entire time: head to toe posing, expression coaching, all of it. You just show up, relax, and trust the process. You won't feel awkward. Promise. I've got you.
And yes, we'll laugh. A lot.
your session (a.k.a., the fun part)
About 10 to 14 days after your shoot, we'll meet in person for your big reveal. You'll see all your images and choose your favorites. Like your own little 'which pic is going to snag me a cute date?' moment.
You'll walk away with:
- 12 professionally retouched, high-resolution images
- The option to add on more (trust me, you'll want to)
- Confidence. Like, the real kind.

How It Works – The Dating Photo Glow-Up, Simplified
You don’t need to be a model. You don’t need to know how to pose. And you sure as hell don’t need to feel awkward while doing it.
This is a stress-free, judgment-free, selfie-free zone where we create photos that make people say, “Damn… who is that?”
It's Easy. It's Fun. It's Worth It.
This isn't just about getting good photos. It's about showing up as your best self in a space where it actually matters: your love life.
I make the process as painless as possible (with a side of jokes and a lot of encouragement), and by the end, you'll be wondering why you didn't do this sooner.
Do you photograph men as well as women?
Absolutely. I photograph everyone: women, men, and anyone in between. Your dating profile should show the real, confident version of you, and that applies no matter who you are. Check out the portfolio above for a mix of clients.
I've never had professional photos taken. Will this feel awkward?
That is exactly why I guide you through every single moment. From the second you show up, I'll be directing your posing, your expression, and your energy. You will not be left standing there wondering what to do with your hands. Most people are laughing within ten minutes. I have been doing this for 21 years and I know how to make even the most camera-shy people look incredible.
I'm newly single and feeling a little nervous about putting myself out there. Is that normal?
It is completely normal and honestly one of the most common things I hear. I have a background in social work and I understand what it feels like to show up for yourself after a relationship ends. My studio is a judgment-free, no-pressure space. We go at your pace, and by the time we are done, you will feel more like yourself than you have in a long time.
How soon will I get my photos?
You can choose either to come in or do a Zoom meeting for your image reveal appointment about 10 to 14 days after your session. You will see 12 or more professionally retouched, high-resolution images and choose your favorites. Additional images are available for $50 each.
Where are you located and do you travel?
I'm based in Marion, Massachusetts on the South Shore. I photograph clients throughout the South Shore including Hingham, Duxbury, Cohasset, Plymouth, and the Cape. Reach out and let me know where you are and we will figure out a location that works for you.
