The Power of Headshot Portraits
As our world becomes ever more virtual in making new connections for business or in your professional career, I believe it's more important than ever to empower yourself with a headshot that helps you shine. From your social media profile photos to your About Me page of your website, your headshot is often the first impression someone has of you. What do you want yours to say?
Why Choose Real Photography?
Yes, the choice for A.I. versions of you are here! I think that A.I. provides a very economical option for folks who wish to get something that works, but I do not think they are ideal. And, it's not just because I'm a professional photographer. I think the question to ask is why do you need a headshot portrait? What is your intention for using a headshot portrait? If it's to connect authentically with others, then a real photograph is needed. A real photograph can serve you more if connection is key!
When to Update your Headshot Portrait?
I've come to really like using the 3 T's to help other determine if it's time! They are like a good measurement for deciding, and like everything in life, there are always exceptions, no hard and fast rules here. It really comes down to you, are you ready to update your headshot portrait?
Here are the 3 T's for you to consider:
Transition
Are you going through a transition in your career?
A promotion? Starting your own business?
In today's virtual world, now more than ever a new headshot can both signal and support your new role and celebrate it.
Twenty Pounds
For some of us, our face changes with weight gain or weight loss. Since a headshot portrait is focused on your face, this really depends on you and your body.
My suggestion here is to consider if you want to look consistent between your headshot and how you look in real life.
Two Years
This is the most common amount of time it takes for someone to make a change in their appearance.
Hair length or color, glasses, or even styles have a big impact in how you look. Consider yourself lucky if you look the same longer than 2 years!
