Creating Your Best Profile
Ready to submit your photos? Here are some valuable tips to help you present yourself in the best light possible.
Your photos create one of the first impressions of you. A well-chosen image can reflect your confidence, personality, and authentic self, which is key in helping me find the best matches for you. Here’s how to showcase yourself in the most flattering and genuine way to ensure you stand out for all the right reasons:
1. Choose Recent, High-Quality Photos
​
-
Keep it current: Your photos should reflect what you look like now, not years ago. Recent pictures show you're authentic and up-to-date.
​​
-
High resolution: Avoid blurry or pixelated images. Ensure your photos are crisp and clear.
2. Be Yourself
​
-
Wear what makes you feel confident: Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and highlight your personality. Whether it’s casual or dressy, ensure your clothing fits well and suits the context.
3. Smile Naturally
​
-
A genuine smile: You don’t need to force a grin—aim for a relaxed, genuine smile. It shows approachability and warmth.
​​
-
Eyes matter: Make eye contact with the camera, a sincere expression will give a sense of your personality.
4. Show a Variety of Photos
​
-
Mix up the settings: Feel free to include different types of photos—close-ups, full-body shots, and candid moments. Showcase a few lifestyle photos if you’d like- doing something you enjoy (like hiking, cooking, or traveling), as well as more traditional portrait-style photos.

-
Include action shots: A photo of you engaged in an activity (like playing sports or attending an event) helps show off your interests and gives a glimpse of your lifestyle. Feel free to include your pets as well!
​
-
Be authentic: Choose photos that reflect who you are. If you're funny, playful, or adventurous, let that come across. It will help me, and potential matches, understand your true self.
5. Highlight Your Personality
​
-
Don’t exaggerate: Keep it real. Overly edited photos can lead to disappointment when meeting in person.
6. Avoid Over-editing
7. Show Your Full Body

-
Variety in poses: A good mix of close-ups and full-body shots help me understand your physical presence and style.
