When I first heard the term ‘glow-up’ I wasn’t sure what to make of it but now, I actually like it. I like the idea of ‘glowing up’ and with summer in full swing, now is the perfect time to glow-up your online dating profile.
We had one hell of a long winter, there’s no doubt about it, and although I’m not utterly convinced that the sun is here to stay, what I am sure about is that when that golden ball in the sky is shining, we feel more confident, happier and ready to embrace life.
So take those feelings of excitement and hit the summer dating scene in style.
Why your dating profile needs to ‘glow up’ this summer
When you’ve been on the dating scene a while, you’ll know you need to shake it up now and again. It’s the same as everything in life, if we let things go stale, they lose their appeal.
Here’s a few other reasons for a dating profile ‘glow-up’ this season.
Mood changes
It’s a well known fact that our mood changes during the summer months and if you’re an experienced online dater, you’ll know that there’s nothing worse than seeing the same old images time and time again.
If you’re feeling more relaxed and happy, that needs to be caught on camera. Give your online dating profile a sunny disposition and attract a whole new crowd of smiley singletons.
Increased online activity
More people hit the online dating scene during summer months. People are looking to make new connections and enjoy some summer activities together that you wouldn’t always get the chance to do in Winter.
It’s also the perfect time to get chatting to someone and then arrange to meet face to face. The days are longer so there’s ample opportunity to spend more time together.
Summer interests
It’s a great time to showcase those seasonal hobbies and activities that you love so much. Imagine sporting a dating profile picture with you on a kayak (if that’s what you’re into). It would look a lot better with the sun shining down on you than in the pouring rain!
It’s also a fantastic time to get your summer wardrobe out. If someone is looking at your dating profile when the sun is out and you’re wearing a big thick jumper, psychologically, it’s not going to add up.
Stand out from the crowd
I always encourage my clients to have pictures that stand out. I don’t do boring, bog standard images but in the summer, my job is so much easier.
I have natural light to work with, beautiful colourful backgrounds and gorgeous summer vibes all around you. This is the perfect opportunity to put yourself ahead of the game and stand out from everyone else on the same dating app as you.
Feel good factor
There’s also the matter of a good old fashioned confidence boost. Having a professional photoshoot done for your online dating profile not only puts you ahead of the game but you also walk away feeling great about an exciting experience and confident with the gorgeous images you’ve created.
Bit of a no-brainer really.
I absolutely recommend the "We Just Clicked" experience, you won't be disappointed 😉
So, what can you do to ‘glow-up’ your online dating profile?
Here’s where the sales pitch comes in, but stay with me because I may be about to offer you a life changing experience (if you meet the love of your life, it will be life changing!).
Normally, I’d suggest a profile picture revamp and perhaps a dating profile rewrite but whilst the sun is giving us so much heat, I think it’s time your online dating profile got a little hot under the collar too!
The Platinum Experience is like no other - and it works
So, why not ‘glow-up’ your package and go platinum?
This is perfect for the summer months because it isn’t just a standard photo shoot; what you will experience is something transformational that will leave you feeling more confident than ever.
You ready to feel good?
What’s included in the package?
Images
You will get a massive 16 digital photos which means you can chop and change your dating profile and keep it looking fresh as well as being able to update all your socials too. That’s 16 hot shots that will make you look and feel fantastic!
90-minute photo shoot
Strike a pose! This is your moment to shine. A whole 90 minutes where it’s all about you! Trust me when I say, you are going to have so much fun with this.
Unlimited outfit changes
Now bear with me because I’m going to get to the good bit around this but you can bring as many outfits as you want. Remember that you’ll have 16 images to play with so it’s a great idea to change it up throughout the shoot.
Tailored personal styling session
Yep, you get a personal stylist all to yourself and they are well equipped to make sure you look and feel fabulous throughout this experience.
Professionally written dating profile
And it doesn’t stop with the images. I am going to write you a profile that simply can’t fail. I’m assuming you want attention when you’re online dating right? Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to get you!
Refreshments
Hey, there’s no denying that this will be thirsty work but worry not, I’ve got you covered!
How does it work?
Now, I know it sounds amazing but I can also hear the panic rising as you’re anxious about how it all actually works. Take a breath, I’m going to explain it all to you now.
1. Book your shoot
First, you book your photo shoot. You can either just hit the book button or if you’re still a little nervous, we can do a complimentary consultation first. I’m there to answer all your questions.
If you are ready to book, make sure you allow 4.5-5 hours. Remember, this isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s a complete experience.
Next, you need to prepare what to bring. I usually suggest bringing a couple of outfits but I would also encourage you to bring something you’re really into. For example, headphones, musical instruments, even sports equipment. Don’t be shy, if it shows off your personality, I want to see it.
2. Prepare for your shoot
Next, you need to prepare what to bring. My stylists and I advise that you arrive in your favourite outfit – one that make you look and feel amazing. Perhaps bring 1-2 more outfits too, and don’t forget to bring something that helps tell a story about you, for example, headphones, musical instruments, even sports equipment. Don’t be shy, if it shows off your personality, I want to see it.
If you’re planning on getting your hair done, I recommend doing it 3-5 days beforehand.
You’ll hear from your stylist prior to your in-person platinum dating profile revamp experience.
3. Your styling session
On the day of the shoot, you’ll meet your personal stylist. They will take you on a journey and show you the outfits they have hand-picked for you that will show off the amazing and gorgeous singleton you are.
Of course, you will have the option to purchase the clothes but that’s entirely up to you. If you really want to be cheeky, you can purchase them and then return them once the shoot is over (as long as you’ve kept them clean and undamaged).
4. Photo time!
I’ll show up with my trusty camera towards the end of the styling session and get you ready for your photos.
I will guide you every step of the way so don’t worry. Most of us are not natural models so you don’t need to worry about how to pose.
During your shoot, I’ll capture a variety of natural and eye-catching photos to include head shots, upper body shots and full body shots. We want the whole shabang!
We’ll have a really nice time 🙂
5 - You'll see your photos
Once the shoot is over, we’ll arrange a time to meet again where I can take you through a photo reveal session where I’ll show you my favourite pics. You will get full access to the online photo gallery and of course, you’ll get final say on the images you want to keep.
6 - You'll see your photos
Last but not least, I’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire which captures some key details about your lifestyle, personality, and your ideal match. I’ll then use this information to create a flipping fantastic online dating profile that will capture the pure essence of your soul. I may be exaggerating a little but trust me, it’ll get you the attention you want!
Pretty cool right? Hell, you don’t even need to be on the online dating scene to enjoy this, you may even just fancy a glow-up and a bloody brilliant experience!
