5 Fun Photo Makeover Tips:

1. Focus On You in Photos
2. Be Casual and Cool
3. Wear Your Colors
4. Watch the Lighting
5. Choose Backgrounds Carefully

Just like dating is a numbers game, making great photos can involve taking a ton of pictures. Go wild taking pictures during your summer holiday so you come home with a few amazing shots. As a corporate photographer, Liz was trained to take 100 photos to get 5 good ones. Ok, you probably dont need to take 100 photos, but take enough to get a few good shots. (While it might feel funny, ask a good friend to take a roll of 24 pictures of you alone to get 2 great profile photos.)

If you want an easier way to make great photos, Liz recommends contacting the professionals at Lookbetteronline.com to take your Internet dating profile photos. As a Dating Coach for Lookbetteronline.com, she has seen fantastic results from her client referrals:

- "Liz helped me get on the right track with internet dating. Not only did she jazz up my essays, but she sent me to LookBetterOnline.com for new photos. After I posted my revised essays and professional photos, I got a ton of emails from great guys." - Donna in Los Angeles

No matter who takes the photos, you can use these five fun photo tips to attract more dates online.

1. Focus on You in Photos -- For the primary photo especially, post photos that include you and only you. Because singles want to see you first and not the whole package (the dog, family, softball team, etc.), this photo should be all about you. Your profile photo is about attracting first dates so save the family introductions for later.

2. Be Casual and Cool -- You want to post a casual shot just like you are ready to go on a first date. Avoid the corporate mug shots where you might look too serious. Liz coached a lawyer to replace his corporate coat and tie photo with a fun family birthday party picture. After posting this much more casual photo online, he received "35 emails the next day from women."

3. Wear Your Colors -- Wear colors that complement your skin tone. Forget what's in style and wear what makes you look good. You are naturally drawn to your colors so you probably already know them. If you want another opinion, ask a friend, hire a style consultant or contact Lookbetteronline.com for advice on colors.

4. Watch the Lighting -- Because lighting can greatly impact the quality of a photo, take your pictures in different settings and angles so you have options. One of Liz's dating coaching clients told her, Wow, I got so many emails from women, but I cant see their faces in the photos." For the best results, take shots inside with a red-eye reduction flash, and then outside when the sun is setting. When taking outside shots, make sure the sun is behind the photographer.

5. Choose Backgrounds Carefully -- The background in a photo can make a huge difference. Try different backgrounds and make sure nothing is sticking out of someones head by accident. When a woman recently asked Liz for photo advice, she immediately saw that her blonde hair was blended into a tan wallpaper background. After Liz referred her to the pros at Lookbetteronline.com for a Photo Makeover, she was flooded with emails from great guys!

Summer is already half over -- stop procrastinating and get the camera out. Start clicking the camera offline and then click online with the right dates.
