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.
Imagine having a dating profile that highlighted all your best attributes. New profile pics that show off your eyes & smile. A bio that's smart, witty and original. This combination will boost your matches and help you enjoy online dating again.
Our goal is to build you a high-performing dating profile for the Bay area. After 6 weeks we follow up with our clients learn what worked (& what didn't). That way we can fine-tune our approach and get you the best dating photos possible.
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.

Hey, I'm Selina! I'm a portrait photographer in SF! 📸
I love working with and photographing people -- my goal is to celebrate your story. I enjoy seeing people get comfortable and embrace their silliness in front of the camera. It’s always fun to connect through photography, coming up with ideas together on how we can best represent your personality in images.
My experience with photography is in portraiture. My journey began in the editorial and fashion space, where I started with creating mood boards and executing shoots with friends interested in the same industry. Then, in college, I transitioned towards graduation photography, working with individuals, couples, groups, and even families. I wanted to explore wedding photography, so after college I took on clients and shot for proposals, engagements, and weddings.
I’ve pursued many facets of portrait photography; I’ve honed my abilities in posing, framing, and editing, but I think the most important skill I’ve learned is connecting with the person on the other side of my lens and helping them reveal their truth to the camera.
"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."

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.
