Lisa Damico Portraits A portrait photography business in Old Town Alexandria, VA, specializing in online dating photos, headshots, personal branding, and women's beauty portraiture.

What clients are saying:

"At first, I was quite apprehensive about having professional photos taken of me; I've never been one to feel comfortable in front of a camera. But, after the consultation with Lisa I felt much better and a little more excited about the process. Lisa listened to what I wanted to get out of the shoot and offered great suggestions about what wear and to expect. Lisa's studio and set up was natural, inviting, and not at all intimidating; I immediately felt comfortable. Lisa was professional, caring, and encouraging through out the shoot, which made me more at ease. I felt really good about myself during the photo shoot and even better after seeing the finished photos. Lisa did a fantastic job! The entire experience exceeded my expectations." - Laura, Elementary School Teacher

"Lisa was very thorough in letting me know what to expect beforehand, helping me pick the right outfits, and assisting me throughout the session to ensure that we'd get the best pictures out of it. I especially appreciated her ability to understand what types of poses would be the most flattering or what expressions I should try to aim for in smiling for the camera. The consistent feedback and communication throughout the session is something I highly valued in Lisa's abilities." - Lilly, Director of Marketing

You asked. I listened: a smaller dating photoshoot option.

I’ve heard some version of this more than once: “I need new dating photos. I just don’t need a whole photoshoot right now.”

Fair. Not everyone needs five outfits, a half day in front of the camera, and a full collection of new images. Sometimes your profile just needs a couple of fresh, current photos.

So I created something new for fall 👇🏽

🍂 THE DATING PROFILE REFRESH: FALL EDITION

For one day only, on October 21 at Nalls Produce and Garden Center in Alexandria, I’m offering 20-minute dating photo sessions built around one great fall look.

We’ll take advantage of the pumpkins, fall color, and seasonal setting to create photos that feel natural, current, and right for this time of year.

$290 includes:
- 20-minute photoshoot
- One fall look
- Hair + makeup artist on site for quick touch-ups and shine control
- Direction and posing throughout
- Two professionally retouched images of your choice
- Virtual image selection appointment afterward

Think fun, fall date, not fall photoshoot.
A great jacket, sweater, or layer. A relaxed outdoor setting. Photos that look like you went somewhere on a beautiful October afternoon—not like you showed up for pumpkin-patch portraits.

Only 8 appointments are available, and this is the only date I’m offering the Fall Edition.

Dating coaches and matchmakers, I genuinely LOVE working with you. 🤍

Because when you’re helping someone find the right person, you know that their photos are only one piece of the puzzle… but they’re a pretty important one.

You’re helping your clients become more confident, communicate better, date more intentionally, and put themselves out there.

I help them make sure the person they’re presenting online actually reflects who they are—confident, approachable, attractive, and ready to meet someone.

And the best part? We each get to do what we are actually passionate about.

You don’t have to become a photographer.
I don’t have to become a dating coach.
We each bring our expertise to the table and give the client a much more complete experience.

I especially love when a coach or matchmaker sends someone my way because I know that person is already being guided by someone who genuinely cares about their success.

If you’re a dating coach or matchmaker and you’re looking for a photographer you can confidently send your clients to, let’s connect. I’d love to be part of your client experience!

Guess what… your online dating profile pictures aren’t actually for you 🙃

They are for the person on the other end of the screen, deciding if they can see themselves dating you or not!

Investing in high-quality online dating pictures, profile writing and support isn’t about creating a fake facade or stemming from a place of vanity. It’s about creating an accurate representation of who you are, so that the right person (because, more matches doesn’t always mean they’re right😉) can find you and make the split decision to open a dialogue and get that first date on the books.

If you’d like someone to hold your hand and support you through your online dating experience, I’d love to chat more with absolutely no obligation! DM me to get a free discovery call scheduled to see how I can best support you 🥰

Destination photoshoots are back by popular demand 👏🏽  This year there’s going to be TWO epic locations to choose from.

Here’s the deets:

📍NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK 🗽
🗓️ October 15 & 17, 2026

Think polished city streets, brownstones, cafés, high-rises, and that unmistakable New York energy.

NYC is perfect for images that feel sophisticated, modern, confident, and a little more editorial. If your current photos feel too similar, or you simply want your next set to tell a different story. New York gives us a lot to work with.

Two spots available—one Thursday and one Saturday.

📍PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 🌴
🗓️November 7–9, 2026

Palm Beach is something entirely different: warm weather, waterfront settings, palms, beautiful architecture, sunrises, and relaxed lifestyle images with a polished coastal feel.

For online dating, it’s a chance to show another side of your life and personality. For branding, it can give you a fresh library of warm, elevated lifestyle imagery that feels completely different from what we can create at home.

PSA —November 9th is officially booked, so there’s only two spots available (one on Saturday and one on Sunday).

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

And, of course, if New York or Florida is already home for you, I’m coming to you for a change!

You don’t need to know exactly what your shoot would look like yet. I’ll help you choose wardrobe, locations, and the images that will add the most to your dating profile, brand, or current collection.

If NYC or Palm Beach is calling your name, comment and tell me which one. I’ll send you the details before they sell out (spots are limited, so they’ll go fast).

📍PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 🌴

🗓️ November 7–9, 2026

I’m so excited to finally announce that my SECOND destination photoshoot will be in Florida! If you missed my first announcement, go back a post for all the details 🫶🏽

There’s just three spots available for this one (one each on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday).

P.S. If you have another destination in mind, comment and tell me where. If the timing works, I may be able to arrange a shoot there, too! 😉

📍NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK 🗽

🗓️ October 15 & 17, 2026

What if your next photoshoot came with a change of scenery?

This fall, I’ll be in New York City and (second destination announcement coming soon), and I’m opening a small number of photoshoot spots while I’m there.

Whether you want an excuse for a weekend away, a completely different look for your dating profile or branding photos, or you happen to live nearby, these shoots are an opportunity to create something we simply can’t replicate in DC.

PSA— There is ONLY two spots available ‼️ (One on Thursday and one on Saturday).

40 Over 40 Feature: Andrea

A scientist. A leader. A woman of deep faith. A friend who shows up. And a woman who has walked through some incredibly difficult seasons and come out with an even deeper sense of who she is.

Andrea grew up in Wisconsin, earned her PhD in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology from Johns Hopkins, spent more than a decade at the NIH, and now works in spatial biology—helping scientists advance discoveries in cancer, immunology, neuroscience, and beyond.

But when I asked her how she wanted people to see her, her answer had very little to do with her accomplishments.

She said she hopes people see the fruit of the Spirit in her life: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. That says a lot about who she is.

She has navigated an extraordinary scientific career, led through seemingly impossible challenges, walked through her own breast cancer journey, supported her father through pancreatic cancer, and continued to serve, encourage and love the people around her through it all.

And perhaps my favorite part of her story is what she says about being in her 40s👇🏽

She has become more comfortable with who she is and the identity God has given her.
After years of struggling with body dysmorphia, she describes this season as one of healing and freedom—a season where she no longer sees her worth through the lens of appearance.

This is one of the things I love most about photographing women in their 40s and beyond. To capture the woman you’ve become is such an honor! The woman who has lived. Loved. Lost. Grown. Led. Changed. Overcome. And finally feels more at home in her own skin.

Andrea chose to document this season of her life and I am so glad she did.

There are just 4 spots remaining in the 40/40 project before this experience closes forever.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to do something that is completely and unapologetically for you, maybe this is your time.

Send me a message or reach out through the link in my bio to learn more about the 40/40 experience. 🫶🏽
