Professional headshots are a must regardless of your current employment status:

 

Job Seekers:   If you are on the hunt for a new opportunity, give perspective employers the chance to see the friendly face behind the resume. If your Linked In profile picture is a selfie, or the you from ten years ago, or your head cropped out of a larger group picture... Let's talk! Don't let an outdated or unprofessional photograph be your first impression.

​

Business Owners:   Head shots are an important element to the "about us" page on your website. Potential clients like to see who they might be working with and these pages typically see a lot of visits and traffic on your site. Additionally, if your website gives a quick bio of your whole team, there should be a consistency in the quality of the images in order to maintain the same level of professionalism across the board.

 

Professionals:   Consider updating your head shot every 3 years at least. Resist the urge to use an older image of yourself and make sure your head shot looks like you right now. A current picture is going to be an important part of your personal brand. When you finally meet with that perspective client, don't let them feel thrown off by seeing a different version of you in person. A current, professional photo will help you make an honest and positive first impression when it matters most.
