Online Dating Photography FAQs

How long does a typical session take?

Most sessions run 60 to 90 minutes. We move efficiently and use different locations for variety.

When will I receive my photos?

Your gallery is typically delivered within 3 to 5 business days.

How many photos do I get?

You receive a curated gallery of selects, ordered to guide viewers through your story. Your download also includes an All Images folder with the full set, more than enough for your needs.

Do you retouch the images?

I do not retouch online dating images. Heavy retouching can feel misleading. I handle lighting and color grading to look excellent while keeping you real.

What should I wear for my dating photos?

We will discuss wardrobe on a quick call and choose options that fit you and your goals.

Where do we shoot in Austin?

I select locations that match your interests. We will confirm on the call and choose what works best together. You can leave most of this to me.

How do I book and what is the payment policy?

Use the pricing section above to book. Please schedule a quick call first to confirm details.

What is your reschedule or cancellation policy?

I understand emergencies happen. If something comes up, contact me and we will make a plan.

Are my photos private?

Yes. Your gallery is delivered via a private link.

Can you help with posing if I am camera shy?

Absolutely. With my facial coaching approach, I guide you step by step, in person or remotely. It is easier than you think, and we will keep it fun.

Can I use the photos on multiple apps and platforms?

Yes. Personal use on dating apps and social platforms is included.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

I can refer trusted artists if you want them, but for dating sessions simple, natural grooming works best. It should look like you.

Can I bring a friend to the session?

These shoots are usually solo, but you are welcome to bring a supportive friend if it helps. Let me know during our call.
