Some of the best connections
start with a little leap of faith.
Stranger Sessions are for the adventurous ones — the people who are up for something a little different, a little unpredictable, and a whole lot of fun. Show up, meet someone new, and leave with photos and maybe someone worth keeping.
Did We Just Become Best Friends?
Real connection. Real friendships. Real fun.
Let's be honest — making friends as an adult is awkward. Unless you're at the bar, a work event, or happen to share a hobby with the right person, where do you even meet people anymore? Did We Just Become Best Friends exists because that's a real problem, and we're solving it in the most fun way we know how.
These sessions match you with strangers based on shared interests, vibes, and life stages. Maybe you want a whole new crew. Maybe you just need one person who gets it. Maybe you're just curious what happens when you show up and let something unfold. All of it is welcome here.
Moms who need other moms. Guys who want to find new buddies who're into the same things. People who moved to a new town and haven't found their people yet. Whatever brought you here — I take time to match each group with care because these moments matter. Show up as yourself. That's the only requirement.

Real people. Real curiosity. Real connection.
Dating today is mostly apps, endless scrolling, and conversations that never turn into anything real. These sessions are something different — a social experiment built around one simple idea: what happens when you put two strangers in a room who might never have crossed paths otherwise?
This isn't matchmaking. It's not a dating service. There's no script, no pressure, and no expectation that anything has to happen. Just two people, thoughtfully paired based on vibe, energy, and a little intuition, meeting in a real setting to see what unfolds.
It might be easy. It might be awkward. It might be surprisingly good. That's kind of the point.
Some people come for curiosity. Some come because the apps aren't working. Some come just because they're open to something different. Either way, you show up. You meet someone new. And you see what happens from there.
Fill Out An ApplicationA few good questions.
Everything you'd want to know before you fill out an application.
Each Stranger Session starts with an application — a few questions about who you are, what you're hoping for, and the kinds of people you'd love to meet. Be honest. The more I know about you, the better I can match you with the right person or group.
Applications take about 10 minutes to complete. There's no fee to apply, and applying doesn't commit you to anything — it just gets the conversation started.
I take time to match each pairing or group with care. This isn't an algorithm — it's me reading your application, thinking about who you'd genuinely click with, and pairing based on vibe, energy, life stage, shared interests, and a little intuition.
Matches typically happen within 2–4 weeks of submitting your application, depending on how many applicants I'm working with at the time. Patience pays off here — good matches take real thought.
You'll receive a message from me with the details: who you've been matched with (first names only at first), a general overview of why I matched you, and proposed dates and locations for your session.
Sessions are held in safe, public locations — coffee shops, parks, casual spots where you can talk and where I can capture some natural photos of the meeting. You'll get a small gallery of photos from your session within 2–3 weeks afterward, regardless of how the connection unfolds.
Just yourself. Wear something you feel good in, but don't overthink it — these sessions are about being real, not staged. If there's something meaningful to you that you'd like to bring (a book, a hobby item, a pet) just let me know in advance.
I'll handle the rest — the location, the photos, and gently guiding the meeting if it needs it.
Yes, and your safety is my top priority. All applicants go through a screening process. Sessions are held in public locations during daytime hours. I'm physically present at every session, both as the photographer and as a third party making sure everyone feels comfortable.
You'll know the first name and a little about your match before the meeting, and you can decline a match at any point if it doesn't feel right — no questions asked. After the session, exchanging contact info is entirely your choice.
If you ever feel uncomfortable during a session, just tell me. I'll handle it. Your wellbeing matters more than any photo.
