Lisa Damico Portraits

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 studi

o 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

Did you know that each woman who participates in my 40 over 40 campaign will be featured in my upcoming celebration & gallery-style exhibition of women and their stories?

That day is going to be so special and I can’t wait to celebrate the beauty, strength, and wisdom of these incredible women who are in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond!

This is your last chance to be one of them.

40 Over 40 is officially closing.

Once these final 5 spots are filled, this campaign will not reopen. No waitlist. No next round. This is it—and I don’t want you to miss it.

If you’ve ever had your hair and makeup done before at one of my photoshoots, there’s a good chance you already know this beautiful human.

Meet Carolyn—one of my talented hair and makeup artists, who’s also a fine art photographer, and the owner of a metaphysical shop that helps people bring a little more magic into their everyday lives.

When we planned her branding session, the goal wasn’t just to create pretty photos. We wanted images that reflected the heart of her business: slowing down, finding beauty in the little things, and creating moments of intention throughout the day. Whether it’s lighting a candle before starting work, pulling a tarot card with your morning tea, or surrounding yourself with meaningful objects, her brand is all about finding groundedness in everyday rituals.

We also created content specifically for her weekly Tarot & Tea series so she has a library of images that support the stories, insights, and experiences she shares with her community.

This is exactly why I love branding photography. It’s not just about showing what you do—it’s about helping people understand who you are, what you believe, and what makes your business different.

Now, instead of scrambling for content every week, Carolyn has months worth of intentional, on-brand images ready to support her social media, marketing, and storytelling. That’s one of the biggest gifts a branding session can give a business owner!

The corporate headshot has evolved. Today, it is very contemporary and highly styled, and it needs to set you apart from your competitors immediately. This type of “Personal Branding” is perfect for lawyers, doctors, real estate agents, business executives, authors, creatives, bloggers, artists, designers, and musicians alike.

I recommend updating your personal branding photos every two to three years to stay consistent with your actual look and to reinforce the message that you’re staying current professionally. If you’ve made significant changes to your physical appearance, offerings, or website, you’ll want to update them sooner.

When your photos are right, everything shifts.

More matches. Better conversations. Dates with people who are actually worth your time.

My clients don’t just get compliments on their photos—they get results. Relationships. In some cases, marriages (see below for one example 💍).

That’s the standard I hold every session to.

I’ve got some exciting new offerings launching soon for my non-local online dating singles — follow Lisa Damico Portraits | DC Dating & Brand Photographer to stay tuned 💃🏼

“Hello Lisa, HUGE update, I am getting eloped in March to my soulmate. I met her on a dating app using the photos you took of me. For that, I am so grateful.”

You’re ready to be perceived as the polished, approachable professional you are—if this is you, keep reading 👇🏽

Your headshot is already making an impression. The question is whether it’s working for you or against you.

Most professionals cringe when they share their headshot. They use the same photo from five years ago because nothing better has come along. They book a shoot, feel stiff in front of the camera, and walk away with images that are technically fine but not actually them.

That’s not what happens here.

At Lisa Damico Portraits, you’re guided through every detail—wardrobe, expression, body language, lighting—by a team whose entire focus is making you look like the best, most confident version of yourself. Not a stylized version. Not an airbrushed stranger. You—at your sharpest.

I have 3 spots left for this month’s Mini Headshot Session on June 24th! Snag one now before they’re all booked 👏🏽

I intentionally don’t photograph everything.

I specialize in personal branding, headshots, and online dating photography because this is the work that genuinely energizes me—and allows me to give my clients the highest level of strategy, direction, and results.

I’m constantly refining the experience to make it as seamless, intentional, and effective as possible, because if you’re going to invest your time, money, and vulnerability into professional photos… it’s worth doing right.

Your photos shape first impressions long before a conversation ever happens.

Ready to elevate the way you’re seen online?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms and moms-to-be 🤍

There’s something so special about capturing women in seasons like this—powerful, transformative, soft, emotional, and full of anticipation all at once.

And if you’re currently in the middle of this chapter, I hope you know how worthy it is of being documented. These moments pass in what seems like an instant, but the feeling of them deserves to be remembered forever.

YES — THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE WHO I’VE HELPED TO MEET THEIR PERSON‼️

A lot of people underestimate how much their dating profile is shaping their dating life.

The right photos don’t just get you more attention, they change who you attract.

These are REAL clients of mine, who invested in showing up intentionally online… and ended up meeting someone meaningful after.

Because your dating profile isn’t just a profile — it’s your first impression before a conversation ever happens.

And when done well, it can completely change the trajectory of your dating experience.

If you’re looking for guidance, I am here to help! Shoot me a message to chat more 🫶🏽

Not everyone is a Black Label client.

This experience is for people who understand that dating apps are no longer casual first impressions—they’re personal branding.

You’ve built a high-quality life. Your profile should reflect that.

If you’re looking for intentional strategy, elevated imagery, and a profile that attracts the right people, not just more people…

Black Label was designed for you.

The best part of what I do? It’s this right here.

When someone who’s been in front of the camera a lot tells me they’ve never had a photo they love more than the one I took of them… that says everything!

Not that it’s hard to get a good picture of —she’s just effortlessly cool and chic 😍 Thank you, Cynthia, for your kind words! 🙏🏽
