Dating Profile Photography

Show the real you, and attract the right match.

Let’s be honest, dating apps can feel like a full-time job. In a split second, someone decides whether to swipe left or right, and most people are relying on group shots, car selfies, or that one holiday photo from years ago.

But here’s the truth: your photos are your first impression.
And you deserve images that don’t just look good, but make someone genuinely want to meet you.

Not fake. Not over-edited. Just you, at your best.

Real Photos That Still Feel Polished

This isn’t about Photoshopping you into someone unrecognisable. The last thing you want is your date saying:

“Ohhh… you look so different in your photos.”
Hard pass. 😅

Instead, I’ll:

✨ Light you beautifully so your natural features shine
✨ Pose you in ways that feel flattering but relaxed
✨ Use fun, conversational prompts to capture real expressions (no awkward fake smiles)
✨ Help you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera

The result? Images that feel authentic, approachable and genuinely you — just on a really good day.

The Spark Factor

Your future partner isn’t just looking for a nice photo. They’re looking for a feeling — warmth, confidence, approachability, connection.

My job is to capture that spark so your profile doesn’t just show your face, it tells your story and invites the right kind of attention.

Why It Works

• Relaxed, supportive session, no modelling experience needed
• Multiple looks to show different sides of your personality
• Natural, high-quality images you’ll feel proud to upload
• Strong first impressions that increase genuine matches
• A fun experience that boosts confidence (even if dating apps don’t always 😄)

Michelle created wonderful portrait & headshots for me. She was able to make me feel relaxed (being photographed is not my favourite thing) and was great at suggesting how to sit/stand etc. High attention to detail. I am very happy with her work and highly recommend her as a photographer for any situation you might need photos for!

Michelle has been doing headshots for our team for over 5 years now. She always makes everyone feel at ease and really captures their essence so aptly. Recently, we celebrated our 30th anniversary and had Michelle take family photos of our valued clients. She took the time to have all the big and little people in the photo shoot look their best. She listened to their needs and demonstrated care and compassion for these families. Thank you Michelle for your kindness and photographic talents.

I used Michelle for my new practice - Synergy Cardiology - and I could not be happier! We had such a fun day. I don’t like having my photo taken but myself and my very amazing team felt so relaxed we forgot it was work. Michelle made the whole experience not only easy but fun. We would do it again just for the laughs!

Michelle was amazing! She worked with my teenager daughter for her headshots/portfolio photos. Even before the photoshoot, Michelle gave advice on how to get the best photos such as colours to bring out her natural beauty. Michelle made my daughter relaxed, confident and she had a wonderful time. Michelle shared wisdom from her experience in the industry and provided excellent advice that she can take into future photoshoots. The photos were incredible. I couldn't have been more happy with everything. I can't wait take our family back for family photos.

Professional photographer with an eye for detail .
We have used Michelle’s skill on 3 occasions and we are totally blown away with her knowledge and ideas of what will work.
My daughter needed to set up a profile and Michelle was able to fit us in on short notice. The photos are amazing and difficult to choose just one. All the photos are stunning. Michelle’s studio is perfect and her ideas just kept coming throughout the shoot. Highly recommend

Professional, fast and value for money! I needed a new headshot in a hurry and Michelle came to the rescue. Her attention to detail was excellent and before I knew it we were all done. My son has also had photography with Michelle and had a ball. We thoroughly recommended her.
