Still a work in progress, but the blog is on its way!

The use of  a flash can age you by 7 years!  The use of soft light can hide wrinkles and blemishes and is overall perceived as more attractive to others.  A study by OKCupid shows that a 28 year-old who used flash is as attractive as a 35 year-old that didn't.  So do yourself a solid and step…

When my Grandpa tells the story of how he met my grandma, it always starts “I saw her at the bus stop, she was wearing a yellow dress...”

And you know what? There is actually something to that! Yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum. And our brains register the color yellow before any other color out there! If we are looking at a computer screen full of profile photos our eye will go to anything yellow on that page first. And if we are walking down the street to the bus stop, a girl in a yellow dress would definitely catch our eye. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts .

So, when it comes time to have those photos taken for your dating website, consider wearing the happiest color of them all…Yellow!
