5 reasons to have a professional headshot photo

First Impressions Count

In today’s society, online presence plays a key role in the success of businesses.

First impressions count.

Often a prospective client’s first introduction to you is through the photo on your website or social media profile. This is why you need to make this photo count with a professional headshot photo!

Look Professional

What does a poor-quality snap on your website say about you & your business?

To be perceived as professional, you need to look polished & professional. Your online image is a powerful part of your personal brand.

Reasons to have a professional headshot photo? A bad headshot photo can damage your credibility.

Or even worse, no headshot photo! 

Details matter. What does your amateurish profile photo say to clients? If you don’t appear to care about the details of your own business image, why should a potential client trust you to install higher standards when dealing with their business?

Consider how this lack of confidence could cost your business financially. 

Stay Current

An old headshot photo makes you look dated.

Hair & clothing styles change, what looked good at the start of your career in 1999 doesn’t look so good 20 years later. Your profile photo online is a first introduction to a potential client. It is important that it looks like you now, not you 10 years ago!

A new professional headshot photo every few years can also be a great way to visually document your success.

Reasons to have a professional headshot photo? The photographer’s skills and expertise.

A professional photographer has the skills & expertise in working with light to always get a perfectly exposed photograph.

Their artistic eye & knowledge of posing captures your best angle. And their skill in putting you at ease helps them catch natural & genuine expressions.

These skills make you look confident, friendly & professional. Resulting in a great image.

If you only get one chance to make a lasting impression with your headshot make it count.
