Past Issues

Everyone loves our before and after photos, since they show how subjective a photo can be. Many people are almost unrecognizable from one shot to another. So, we’re looking for more! This month, we’re offering a before and after promotion for new clients that you can read about below. If you already have your great ‘after’ shot from us, email us your terrible ‘before’, and if we use it in a newsletter or on the website, we’ll send you a 5x7 (of your ‘after’ shot, of course!)

Hope everyone is well. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Best,
Mindy

Touch Me Up:
SingleShots is now offering retouching for those other photos you want to put online—you know, the one in which you look great skiing, but it looks like you have a double chin. Or the hot one of you at the beach, with the unflattering shadow cutting across your face. It’s nice to show off different sides of you with some candids to complement your SingleShots, and now you can have them retouched too! Go to our retouching page to find out more.

Dating Info to Go on the Web:
In the past few years of shooting people for online dating, we’ve become a repository for all things single. We always give people advice about dating services, coaches, and profile writers when they come to us for their shots, but now you can find all of that information on our site, too. Check out the new links page.

Mirror Image:
When you're getting out on the dating scene, you need to look your best. A good stylist can help you create a great first impression, which adds to your confidence and your attractability. We recommend Elena Castaneda, a New York based image consultant with clients all over the country. She’ll help you find the look that’s right for you, so you feel good inside and out. You can contact Elena at http://www.newyorkimageconsultant.com

Before and After of the Month:


*Before*	After

What’s wrong with this “before”?

Wanting to show your youthful spirit in your photo is a great idea; actually looking like a teenager isn’t, especially when you're in your forties. The before photo makes you want to push her hair away from her face; the after photo shows how pretty she is as well as fun, even if she’s not wearing pigtails.

For more before and afters, check out our gallery.

Off You Go:

There are lots of ways to meet new people, online and off. One great new option is Meet Market Adventures, which sets up great events all over the New York City area. Their focus is often on athletic adventures, such as hiking and horseback riding, and they also host lower key pub crawls and wine tastings. The great thing about them is that there is no membership fee, which means you don’t end up seeing the same people at every event. Sign up for the below event, or learn more about them at http://www.meetmarketadventures.com/
