How Am I Different From Other Bay Area Online Dating Photographers?

  • You always work with me. No assistants, no apprentices, no inexperienced photographers.

  • No photoshop, no AI & no artificially enhanced photos that suggest you either paid someone to take them, manipulated the photos beyond recognition or are trying to mislead others.

  • Over 12 years experience (professionally), more than that helping family, friends and roommates with photos.

  • Candid, organic & effortless photos that feel like a friend took them, instead of stiff staged and portraits.

    • Most photographers overly market themselves and are merely portrait photographers who have never used dating apps, struggle with dating themselves or don’t know how dating photos are different from traditional portraits.

  • Photos are not posted online on photographers’ galleries (these photos are for you only)

  • Experience with using dating apps myself when I was single.

  • Custom, fun & unique environments and backgrounds. Location scouting skills are second to none - ask around. Other photographers use the same, boring, repetitive backgrounds, making it obvious that you hired a portrait photographer.

  • Recommended by therapists, matchmakers, dating coaches, stylists & more.

  • I turn down over 85% of inquiries for various reasons. My focus is on those seeking a long-term relationship.

    • Other photographers take on clients without looking at existing photos, profiles, app choices, wardrobe or learning clients.
