Personal Branding: You’re Not Done Till You Have A Professional Headshot!
The importance of personal branding cannot be overstated. You might feel as if you’ve given your professional image every possible attention and still not have it where you want it to be. Often, this is because personal branding can feel like a continual process rather than a one-time effort. To get the ball rolling again, we’re offering you some insider tips for taking your personal brand to the next level. Personal branding is about more than just having an impressive LinkedIn profile or an eye-catching website. It’s about establishing yourself as a specialist in your field, creating opportunities for others to learn about who you are and what you can offer and developing connections with potential partners, clients and employers that will help advance your career.
The first step in revamping your professional image is to get a new headshot. This should ideally be a professional headshot, taken by a professional photographer. A professional headshot will demonstrate your professionalism and present you to your clients in the best possible light. A professional headshot will allow you to have the flexibility of putting it on all of your social media platforms and will also come in handy when applying for jobs or interviews. A professional headshot taken by a professional photographer will cost you money, but the investment is well worth it. Before you go in for your headshot, prepare your professional brand and aesthetic and put yourself in the shoes of your ideal client. And remember, you need to like the way you look as much as your clients need to like it.

If you’re ready to take your professional image to the next level, then you’re in the right place. To get the best results, you need an experienced headshot photographer who knows how to put you in the best light and make you look your very best. We’ve been shooting successful headshots since 1982 and helped launch the careers of thousands of professionals. We know what it takes to get a great headshot that will help your career take off. We offer a range of headshot photography services, including one-hour photo shoot, retouching and printing.
You likely have an About Me or About Our Company page on your website. And you certainly have a thumbnail image that you use for your social media profiles (if you’re not using a logo or brand). Occasionally you might be asked to be interviewed on a blog, or an article may be written referencing you. In each of these circumstances, you’ll want a photo of yourself displayed.
If it’s your personal Facebook profile and you regularly update it to show a recent snapshot of you at a speaking engagement or giving a presentation, that’s one thing & you can get away with something less formal. If it’s the only headshot of you on the website of your business, that’s another thing entirely. We want to make you look successful. We want to make you look great!
