Stranger Session
Think: a blind date + a photoshoot + butterflies + laughs.
I’ll carefully sort through applications and match two strangers I genuinely think could vibe. If you’re chosen, you’ll meet for the first time on camera during a fun, couples-style photoshoot designed to feel natural, playful, and a little bit magical.
Am I a professional matchmaker?
Absolutely not.
I am a fun-loving photographer who believes in chemistry, connection, and capturing real moments between two people who’ve never met before.
The best part? It’s free.
Yep. The session itself and all images are completely free.
If you’re chosen, a $100 fully refundable retainer will be collected only to make sure everyone shows up.
Show up → get your $100 back the same day
Or use it toward prints or another session
No show or 30+ minutes late → retainer becomes nonrefundable
You can literally walk away having spent $0.00 and gained a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Nervous? Same!
You don’t need to be a model or a dating pro—just bring your smiles, laughs, and willingness to lean into the moment. I’ll guide everything so it feels fun, natural, and not awkward (promise).
What you’ll get
At least 15 edited digital images
A unique blind-date experience
Bragging rights forever
A story worth telling
After the session, you’ll also be asked to fill out a short questionnaire so my followers can hear about your experience on my socials.

Short FAQ
What if there’s no chemistry?
That’s okay! Not every great story turns into a romance book. Worst case? You get amazing photos and a fun experience. Best case? Sparks fly.
Is this like speed dating?
Nope. This is a guided photoshoot that feels like a date. There are no timers, no pressure, just natural moments.
What if I’m awkward?
Everyone is awkward. That’s part of the charm. I’ll guide you the entire time so it feels fun, relaxed, and not cringey. I promise.
