Headshots and Their Influence on Your Internet Presence

When was the last time you took time to update your headshots?

When it comes to social media presence, it is more now important than ever to represent who you are with high quality pictures that truly let your audience connect with you. Outdated pictures can lead to a lot of irritation and confusion when meeting new people and customers.

A good headshot will give your audience an idea of your personality before they meet you.

Investing in a high-quality, professionally taken headshot is an investment in your brand: it shows you at your best, the way you want prospective clients to see you. A professional photographer knows how to position you and how to use light to show you in the best possible way.

When my friend Mary approached me a few weeks ago, I was thrilled to be her chosen headshot photographer because I love showing people at their best.

We met in the comfort of her beautiful backyard and had a lovely time. Taking pictures while talking, we explored different areas of her property and within an hour we had all the shots she needed to represent the launch of her first novel.

Need more arguments why you should invest in professionally taken headshot?

  1. Strengthen your brand via personal connection

    Once a customer relates your face to your brand things get more personal and a strong customer relationship is what you want to sell whatever it is that you offer, over and over again. Imagine your favorite Starbucks barista. Even though you might just want a coffee, seeing that familiar face smiling at you every morning does make a huge difference in how you feel, doesn’t it?

  2. Makes you feel good about yourself

    We all like looking our best and getting compliments when we do. So a good headshot is like the perfect outfit. You go to town with a smile on your face and people make you compliments because you look so confident and happy.

  3. Convenience

    Next time someone ask for headshot imagine you don’t have to crop that vacation shot! You’ll be able to open the folder on your computer and share a good looking picture without any hassle

  4. Brand consistency

    To be able to share the same good looking picture on all of your social media accounts is a big bonus, because people will sooner recognize you.

So, what are you waiting for? Book a session with me now to refresh your headshots and improve your professional life! I can’t wait.

Now that you hopefully feel inspired to get in front of the camera I want to share with you another amazing photographer, Maria Navarro Tortosa, a North Carolina photographer, who is sharing her thoughts and pictures about back to school 20-21.
