Five Ways To Know You Need a New Headshot

Your Look Has Changed

Your Job Status Has Changed 

Your Relationship Status Has Changed

You Don't Have Three That You Love

Your Last Headshot Was Taken More Than 2 Years Ago 

 

Your Look Has Changed

You've changed your hairstyle or hair color, you've lost hair or grown a beard, you've taken off (or put on) 20 pounds.  All of these are reasons for a new headshot.

Your headshot is the first impression you make in most personal and professional relationships.

A headshot that reflects who you are now establishes trust.

Would you want to begin a relationship any other way?

Your Job Status Has Changed

A new headshot is a must if you've begun a job search, received a promotion, or started your own business.

 

For a job search, convey your ambitions and aspirations.

Do you see yourself as a no nonsense manager? A team player? A creative force? An organizational whiz?  Those looking to hire are more likely to consider your qualifications in detail when your headshot tells the story of how extraordinary you are.

 

After a promotion, let clients know what kind of force you'll be in your new position.

Are you going to shake things up? Turn things around? Build on a successful foundation? Tell people who you will be.

 

When you start your own business, YOU are your brand.

A headshot makes all the difference in the kind of new clients you attract.  And it shows existing clients that they can count on you.

Your Relationship Status Has Changed

Change brings opportunity.

A great photo shoot builds confidence and helps you project your best self.  You can experiment with different looks and get feedback from a professional whose job it is to know the style that will convey who you are and what you want.

You Don't Have Three That You Love

How many places does your photo show up online?  Business websites, LinkedIn and Zoom.  Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.  Apple profiles and dating websites.  You need looks to suit these different situations. Your company directory will require something different than a LinkedIn profile.  The picture that your grandmother likes on Facebook will be different than what draws followers on Instagram.  But these looks have to cohere.  This conveys integrity and fosters trust in all areas of your life.

Is 2021 anything like 2019?

Updating your headshots shows you are invested in what you are doing and where you're headed.

A fresh look conveys fresh ideas, optimism and energy.

People are drawn to what's new!
