The Art of First Impressions
The Problem You Know Too Well
It’s no secret - you’re a total catch. However, people on dating sites don’t know that until you get them to stop long enough on your profile to learn all about the amazing things you offer. This requires excellent photos.
I make this process easy for my clients! There are only two things you need to focus on. Having a variety of outfits that show off your style. Relaxing, having fun, and letting your personality shine. I'll handle the rest and work my magic!

"Svetlana is my go-to photographer in Austin for dating app photos for my clients. She also takes pictures for my website, social media, and blog. She's professional, makes you feel comfortable, and turns the photos around fast.”
"Having great photos is an essential part of successfully dating in the digital age. This is true even if you don’t use dating apps, and exclusively want to meet prospective partners in-person — you can bet that girl whose number you got at the bar last weekend will Google your name before she agrees to meet you for dinner. If the photo of you that surfaces is unflattering, it can literally cost you dates!" - Blaine Anderson, Dating Coach and Matchmaker Dating by Blaine

The photos I got from svetlana have proved invaluable in business and dating
Svetlana made my experience so easy and comfortable! I’ve never had professions photgraphs taken of myself before, and I was definitely nervous having my pictures taken in public with all the world to have the behind the scenes look. Svetlana helped make it seem like none of those worries even existed. She was social and friendly and wanted to get to know me so she could make the pictures be authentic and real rather than just standard poses! Highly recommend and will be asking for her assistance in the future!

Svetlana is the photographer you want. She provided fantastic samples of her work in deciding to hire her and her work stands out from among any other: she brings a level of passion, creativity, and joy for the event that is unparalleled. She covered all aspects of the wedding and the reception, including the sparkler departure, and was quick to provide photos. Many guests noted how she never seemed to take a break. She is simply an outstanding photographer.
