"BOTH PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL NEEDS"

                                                              Who We Serve​

​

At Verle Obri Portraits, I work with two kinds of people—singles who want authentic, confident dating profile photos, and professionals who need personal branding portraits that communicate credibility and character.

 

Both groups share one truth: your image is your first impression. Whether it’s on a dating app or LinkedIn, people form opinions in seconds. That’s why quality photography matters.

​

For Singles

​

Most people still rely on selfies or phone snapshots for their dating profiles. The problem? Selfies distort proportions, flatten your features, and give off an unintentional vibe of effortlessness that reads as carelessness. Letting friends take your pictures isn’t much better—awkward angles, harsh lighting, and off timing make even the best subject look uncomfortable. These photos might show your face, but they rarely show you.

​

A strong online dating profile should include five to six intentional images, each serving a purpose:

 

1. A clear, front-facing headshot that shows your natural expression and eyes—so people feel an instant connection.

2. A full-body image that gives an honest sense of your appearance (no surprises or “catfishing”).

3. A hobby or lifestyle shot, doing something you genuinely enjoy—music, hiking, cooking—something that says, “this is who I am.”

4. A relaxed, candid portrait that captures you laughing or mid-conversation, showing warmth and personality.

5. A slightly polished, dressed-up look, reflecting how you might appear on a great first date.

​

Together, these images tell a complete story—real, confident, and approachable.

 

At Verle Obri Portraits, I create dating-profile sessions built around this structure. Every photo is planned with lighting, direction, and tone to make you look your best without looking staged.

For Professionals

 

When it comes to personal branding, people often make the same mistakes—using five-year-old headshots, harshly lit office photos, or blurry group crops. Those images may technically “work,” but they don’t communicate growth, professionalism, or attention to detail.

Your brand portraits should show trustworthiness, confidence, and individuality—the qualities that make someone want to hire or collaborate with you. My sessions focus on natural expression, professional styling, and lighting that feels intentional, not stiff.

What Sets Us Apart

​

Where most photos rely on luck, my sessions rely on strategy and design. I use light, direction, and composition to create portraits that feel effortless but are built with purpose.

 

Whether you’re trying to meet someone new or redefine your professional image, you deserve portraits that actually represent you.

At Verle Obri Portraits, I don’t just take your picture—I help shape how the world sees you: honest, confident, and real.
