✨ I'm on the news! | Watch the WCCO feature 🎥


Hi Reader!

Big news — I was featured on CBS/WCCO today in a story about the growing demand for online dating photos!

The crew came to capture some behind-the-scenes footage of a session with one of my incredible clients this morning, and we talked about the heart behind this work: confidence, visibility, and what it really means to be seen in the dating world today.

Whether you're dating yourself, know someone who's navigating the apps, or just want to see how this journey unfolded — I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks for being part of this story. 💛

With heart,

If you’re on a specific waitlist (Dallas dating photos, Arizona travel, etc.), you’ve already received the details meant just for you. This note is simply the wider, more human version — especially since some of you landed here for different reasons. At the end of January, I flew to Florida for a dating photo session with a client who said, “I don’t want to perform. I just want this to...

You probably know me as a photographer (and if we’ve worked together — hi again 👋).But lately, something really interesting has been happening behind the scenes in my business.It started when one of my clients told me they’d found me through ChatGPT.That moment completely changed how I think about visibility — and how people are finding photographers, creatives, and small businesses now.
