We offer a proven way to improve your online dating. We combine professional photography, copywriting & coaching to build high-converting dating profiles that are optimized for dating in NYC.
Imagine having a new dating profile that highlights all your best features. Stunning profile pics that show off your eyes, smile & confidence. And a new bio that's witty & original.
We analyze our clients' performance to see what's working in NYC (and what's not). This helps us capture authentic, data-driven photos that are designed to increase your matches on dating apps.
We've worked with well +1,000 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 clients how to measure the performance of their photos.
After 6 weeks we follow up to learn what worked (and what didn't). This helps us better understand current trends, seasonality, location factors and more. It also helps us fine-tune our approach, allowing future clients to benefit from the learnings.
After all our research we've developed a recipe that produces high-performance dating profiles. It's not rocket science, but here's the secret sauce:
Basically, people just want to see that you're a good, trustworthy person. They want to see that you have a life (hobbies, career, etc.) and they want to know they're going to be safe with you.
We'll find all of your best angles and photograph you looking your very best. Your photos will showcase all of your best assets, while highlighting your charm, personality and confidence.
Our style is often referred to as "candid lifestyle". It's natural, unposed, unstaged, authentic and in the moment.
It's not supposed to look like you hired someone to take photos of you all day. Instead it will look like you were out enjoying your day, and one of your friends just happened to snap a photo with their fancy camera.
We're going to be your best friend on shoot day.
We'll get you to laugh, open up and not take yourself so seriously. These natural laughs will help the photos look authentic and genuine.
We also let you change outfits during the shoot, giving you multiple different looks from one session. Each time you change your outfit, we'll bring you to a new backdrop nearby that suits what you're wearing.
When the shoot is done you'll have a private gallery of authentic, high-converting photos to use on your dating apps.
Here's a few key reasons you should work with us to optimize your dating profiles.

All of our shoots are done outdoors in the NoHo area of New York City. This area is perfect for capturing authentic, unstaged lifestyle photos that are perfect for dating in NYC.
We kick off all of our photoshoots around the NoHo area of NYC. The NoHo area is PERFECT for dating portraits. There's so many different backdrops, street styles, all around this area - central location, easy to get to. From here, we can venture to towards west village for many more scenic spots!
Hey, I'm Bert!
I'm a portrait photographer based out of NYC.
I have a background in Medicine, and started to use photography and videography as a creative outlet back in 2014. Fast forward to 2020, photography/videography has gone from creative outlet to full scale business! Along the way, I’ve realized that my favorite thing to do is to photograph people and to make them feel confident, which is why I’m still a portrait photographer today.
I love working with beginners to help them look confident, natural and relaxed on-camera. I’m a strong believer that the best photos come out when the person being photographed is having fun! So when you come shoot with me, get ready to laugh, let loose, and most importantly have a good time.
I'll make sure our photo session is as stress-free as possible, coaching you through poses and expressions to look effortlessly your best.
"As I mentioned, I've spent hundreds of dollars on Tinder Gold and always had mixed results. I didn't actually want to spend any more money on dating but I took the leap based on a friends' recommendation and hired you guys.
Here's a quick update: First day with the new profile: 50+ matches (and still going). Girls are messaging ME first and being flirty with their responses. Conversations no longer feel like I'm pulling teeth.
This changes the whole dynamic of online dating. I will sing your praises to everyone that will listen to me lol. Y'all have restored my faith in humanity. 🙏 "

OFrom there we might head over to Stumptown Coffee Roasters on W 8th for some urban "on-the-go" style street shots. After that we might head over to the endless trees at LaGuradia Corner Gardens to add some color into your backdrops. Depending on the look you're going for, we could also incorporate some up-scale vibes (in front of world-class restaurants like Le Coucou) or end the shoot overlooking the water at the Hudson River Greenway.
No matter what vibe you're going for, the sky is the limit for capturing epic dating photos in NYC.
Because every online dating app prioritizes photos. You could look like Brad Pitt in real life, but if your photos suck and people can't see that - then you're not going to be matching with many people.
Most people don't have great photos. So we scrap together whatever old photos we can find, add in a few bathroom selfies and hope for the best. We know these awkward photos don't do us justice, but it's all we have.
