Headshots are a must-have for anyone looking to establish their professional presence in any capacity. Not only are they used for all the standard applications, like resumes, social media profiles, and websites—they’re also essential for creating strong first impressions and making strong connections with potential clients, employers and colleagues.

Professional headshots are particularly important as they can make or break an individual’s career trajectory. When taken by a professional photographer, headshots provide a polished look that conveys confidence and puts someone at an advantage during their job search process. They also convey qualities such as confidence, trustworthiness and professionalism. A good headshot should capture a person’s best features in the most flattering way possible and will often be used on their social media platforms and websites for brand identity.

A great headshot should capture the essence of the subject while staying true to their personality – which is why it pays to have one done professionally. With our experience we will know how to pose you in the best way for your body shape and lighting conditions so that it looks like a real representation of yourself. After all, it’s often the first thing that people will see when looking at someone’s online profile or resume!

When was your last headshot taken? Was it a selfie with an outstretched arm? Has your hair changed? Has your personal style or vibe changed? Most people tend to use the same headshot for 3-5 years and when employers and clients look at them they do not look the same from their headshot. We recommend most clients update their headshot every 6-12 months to keep it looking fresh. Contact us today to schedule your session.
