A Few Things People Ask Chris
Do I need experience in front of the camera?

Where do sessions usually take place?

What should I wear for dating profile photos?
Choose clothing that feels natural and reflects your everyday style. Simple outfits usually photograph well.
Are these photos only for dating apps?
Many people use them for dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match, but the images can also work well for social media and personal profiles.

Dating Profile Photography Packages
Chris offers three thoughtful options depending on how much support, variety, and storytelling you’re looking for in your dating profile.
First Impression
A simple, focused session for anyone who wants to replace older or low-quality photos with something clean, current, and natural.
This in-studio session is built around strong, straightforward portraits that feel like you—no pressure, no overthinking. It’s a good fit if you want a solid starting point with a few images that immediately improve how you show up online.
You’ll have a short consultation beforehand, along with guidance on what to wear and how to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
You’ll receive 7 retouched images—ideal for your main profile and a few supporting photos.
Date Ready
This option moves beyond a single portrait and starts to show more of your personality and everyday life.
Instead of staying in the studio, Chris photographs you on location—creating a mix of relaxed, natural portraits and candid-style images. The goal is to give someone a better sense of what it might feel like to spend time with you.
You’ll plan the session together in advance, including the tone you want to express—whether that leans more adventurous or more grounded.
You’ll receive 14 retouched images that work together as a cohesive set.
Total Matchmaker
A full, well-rounded profile designed to show different sides of who you are.
This option includes two locations, allowing for a mix of settings—perhaps something more refined alongside something relaxed or personal. It’s designed so your profile doesn’t feel repetitive, but instead offers a natural range of moments.
There’s more time spent on planning, wardrobe, and expression so everything feels consistent and comfortable.
You’ll receive 25 retouched images, giving you a strong selection not just for dating apps, but for ongoing use as well.
