I recently decided to give online dating a try. I made a profile but unfortunately, I was not getting the activity or results I was hoping for. I found FernDate randomly on Yelp and decided to inquire further. After speaking with the team I realized their services were exactly what I was looking for. It’s been a long time since I’ve paid any attention to, or cared about my “fashion”. Even if I wanted to I would’ve had no idea where to start. McKenzie helped me completely revamp my closet and made the whole experience very comfortable and enjoyable. I also now have the confidence to shop for myself and know I’ll look good! My original profile pictures were nothing special but I thought they were good enough for a dating profile. I was wrong… McKenzie and Sam took me around town and took great pictures of me doing fun activities in awesome Portland locations. When I relaunched my profile with the new pictures I was amazed with the results. Overnight the amount of attention and activity I received skyrocketed. Honestly, I was speechless! My frustrations switched from trying to find dates to having too many to fit in my schedule. I’m totally satisfied and happy with the entire experience!

My love life was in a major rut – I was wasting energy on all the wrong guys, but I was too intimidated by online dating to even give it a shot.  Ladan’s advice gave me the confidence to put myself out there on OkCupid, starting with a profile that was authentic and really showed me at my best. She helped me out every step of the way, from choosing photos to reviewing messages to post-date recaps. Ladan is totally supportive but also totally honest, which kept me focused on my goal of finding a real match and a lasting relationship. It worked – we just celebrated our two year anniversary!

To be honest the thought of online dating horrified me. Luckily I met Ladan and not only did she take the most amazing photos I’ve ever had (I hate getting my picture taken) but pretty much held my hand through the dating process. She suggested which sites would best be suited for me, helped write my profile and respond to emails. Her patience, experience and knowledge are priceless!

The photo shoot was a ton of fun. We went to my favorite haunts – played ping pong and had some drinks. It was low key and the photos were super genuine and flattering. I now have great Bumble and Hinge profiles and I’m getting way more quality responses! Thank you, Ladan!

Fern gave me the confidence I needed to put my best foot forward in the world of online dating. Their advice allowed me to be myself, but the best version of myself possible. The pictures make me feel like a new person, and the whole process is so empowering. With their support, I found my way into more rewarding dates and real connections. I can’t thank them enough!

The Fern team revolutionized my dating experience. They upgraded my profile with excellent photos and voiced the message in a colorful fun way. Before meeting them, I was struggling to find dates I vibed with. After, my problem was that I had too many dates. They learn about you, your background, and your goals. Then they performs their magic! Before you know it, you’ll achieve all your relationship goals. They will inspire you and provide the resources and confidence for dating success. A++++++++

I had trouble representing my best self online. McKenzie helped me create a profile that better communicated who I was and helped me find dates I had something in common with. She took the time to get to know me really listened to what I wanted, and ended up switching me to a different site than I was using. She knew how to navigate the online dating scene and could see very quickly what I needed to change in my approach. I feel so much more comfortable dating now, and for the first time am actually enjoying the whole process.

Online dating was a totally foreign concept, so it was nice to have Ladan’s humor and guidance along the way. She helped me set up my profile, went over the do’s and dont’s, red flags and what types of photos to select. Today I’m happily dating, and I have Ladan to thank for getting me started. If you find yourself in the same situation, I suggest letting Ladan help. Your horrible dates will be a thing of the past!
