Is this you?

Quick: what's your headshot look like?

Is this your headshot?  

Or is it a selfie?  

Did you crop it out of a group photograph from a party?  

Is it more than 5 years old?  

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, perhaps you may want to consider updating your headshot!

These days, that image of yours is always ON and out there--on LinkedIn, company websites, company directories, social networking sites and it's often the first thing that a potential client or employer will see---their very first impression of you. You never know WHO is looking at your profile or even WHEN.  Don't YOU like to see what people look like and feel like you can connect to them?  And don't forget that your headshot not only represents you, but by association, the company that you work for as well.  So, whether you are a business professional, a creative or someone looking for a job: is your headshot the best representation of you?

When you have an important meeting, you take care to present yourself well, right?  That picture of yours is always out there, representing.

If you're like me and don't like having your portrait taken, don't use that as an excuse!  A good photographer should talk you right through the session.  You shouldn't feel rushed and your photographer should have the skills to bring out the best in you.  Your portrait should reflect you, your business, be friendly and feel approachable.  You know, approachable is the new cool.

So if this sounds like you, give me a call or drop me a line--we'll get your image representing YOU!
