Preparing for your photo session

How to Prepare Your Outfits

• Bring a mix of casual, semi-formal, and a ‘fun’ look that reflects your personality.

• Avoid logos or distracting patterns—solid colors or simple prints work best.

• Think about textures and layers (jackets, scarves, sweaters) that add variety without needing a full outfit change.

• Wear an undershirt or tank top to easily change tops

• Make sure clothes are clean, wrinkle-free, and fit comfortably.

Best Photos to Put First on Your Dating Profile

• Start with a clear, smiling headshot where you look approachable and confident.

• Include a full-body shot to show your style and presence.

• Add some photos to your profile of you doing something you enjoy. Maybe you’re at a game or a park or just grabbing coffee with some friends. Don’t be afraid to ask them to take a quick photo with your phone.

• Use one photo that feels candid and natural, not overly posed.

• Avoid group photos as your first impression—make sure YOU are the focus.
