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 of us are relying on group shots, car selfies, or that one holiday snap 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 want to meet you.

Not Fake. Not Over-Edited. Just You at Your Best.

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.”

No thanks.

Instead, I’ll:

✨ Light you beautifully so your natural features shine

✨ Pose you in ways that feel flattering but never stiff

✨ Use fun, conversational prompts to capture real expressions (no fake smiles here)

The result? Photos that feel genuine — like you, on your best day.

What’s Included

45-minute studio session (with time for multiple outfit changes)
3 professionally retouched images (additional images available)
Coaching on wardrobe, posing, and expression so you feel confident throughout
Access to your exclusive Dating Photo Prep Guide once you book

Optional Extras (Because Details Matter)

The Spark Factor

Your future partner isn’t just looking for a smile; they’re looking for a feeling. Confidence. Warmth. Approachability. My job is to capture all of that in high-quality images that don’t just show your face but sell the best version of you.

Why It Works

A relaxed, easy session — no modelling experience required
Multiple looks to show different sides of your personality
High-quality, natural images you’ll be proud to upload
Photos that make your profile stand out (and spark curiosity from the right matches)

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!

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

Michelle made her feel completely at ease as she worked through about a dozen costume changes including hair. The photos are spectacular we could not ask for more.

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.
