Personal Brand / Dating App Profile Photographer and Coach
NYC dating app photos with coaching support and personality-based direction.
Candid, confident portraits, a thoughtful and research-based approach to photography.
Welcome! I’m Natalie,
New York-based Personal Brand / Dating App Photographer and Mindset Coach.
My approach goes beyond just taking beautiful images - it’s rooted in strategy. I combine in-depth research, visual storytelling, and content positioning to craft photography that feels authentic, candid, and natural, aligns with your personal/brand identity, and helps you stand out.
For more than 15 years, I’ve worked in the world of marketing and photography, helping people see themselves with clarity and confidence. I specialize in authentic portraits, personal brand photography, and candid lifestyle pictures for dating profiles.
I understand that your personal brand is more than just a headshot, it’s a strategic asset. Every photoshoot is carefully designed to ensure that your visuals communicate the right message, connect with your audience, and elevate your presence.

Why work with me?
Because I don’t just take pictures, I create a process that reveals who YOU are.
I bring a rare mix of art direction, marketing strategy, and years of professional photography experience. My background helps me see both the human and the brand, the emotion and the positioning. That’s why every shoot has a plan, and a soul.
I guide you from start to finish, taking care of every detail so you can simply arrive and be present. You don’t have to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll read your rhythm, your energy, and shape the experience around it.
My clients often say they forget about the camera. They remember the calm, the laughter, the moment they started to feel and see themselves differently. And that’s the whole point - this isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s an experience of recognition.
As an award-winning photographer, my work has been honored not only by the people I photograph but also by professionals within the photography community.

My Photography Philosophy
Photography, for me, has never been just about images. It’s about presence. Expression. That quiet spark in your eyes when you feel truly seen.
With a background in marketing, art, and coaching, I approach photography not just as a craft, but as a way to help people show up fully and confidently in the world. Every session I create is a collaboration. Grounded in research, shaped by strategy, and always guided by who you are. My process is designed to tell your unique story, creating imagery that feels natural, authentic, and elevates your presence in your industry.
With years of experience in marketing, I know that branding photography is more than just a headshot. It’s a strategic asset that shapes how you are perceived. Before every photoshoot, I conduct in-depth research to ensure that every image aligns with your brand identity, target audience, and professional goals.
Areas of Focus
Personal Branding Photography is ideal for entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives who want a cohesive brand identity through photography. I specialize in research-based personal brand photography that highlights individuality and authenticity, helping professionals and business owners visually communicate their true selves to the world.
- Corporate & Business Portraits – Professional headshots with a storytelling approach, designed for leaders, speakers, and industry experts.
- Creative Branding Photography – Artists, designers, and creatives looking for imagery that reflects their unique vision.
Whether you’re building your LinkedIn profile, launching a personal website, or refreshing your media kit, I’ll work with you to create images that are aligned, strategic, and unmistakably you.
Dating Profile Photography
Dating photos shouldn’t feel fake or staged. I help you show your personality in a real, relaxed, and confident way, like it was made by your friend with professional camera. So your images attract people who are right for you.
What sets me apart:
I work with people of all ages, not just models or influencers. Whether you’re 27 or 67, I know how to bring out your natural charm and quiet confidence.
I help you relax, even if you “hate being in front of the camera.” My sessions are designed to feel easy and authentic.
Your shoot is fully personalized. Based on a detailed questionnaire, I’ll recommend locations, outfits, and a visual direction that reflects you.
Portrait Photography
Every person has their own rhythm, light, and story. My portraits are about capturing who you are, not just how you look. Whether it’s an intimate solo portrait, a milestone moment, or a legacy you want to preserve, I photograph with depth, softness, and a touch of fine art.
Personal Coaching
Sometimes, a new photo is the start of a bigger shift. I support clients during moments of reinvention, starting something new, stepping into leadership, or reconnecting with purpose. Through coaching, I help you access the clarity, confidence, and creative direction you need to move forward.
Coaching informs every part of how I work - from the way I plan a shoot, to the way I help you feel safe and open in front of the camera.
If you’re ready to be seen not as a version of someone else, but as your true self, I’d be honored to work with you.
Let’s create something that feels honest, powerful, and completely yours.
