I cannot count the amount of times that a client has cringed at the idea of a headshot. It seems intimidating to many people to have their portrait done by themselves. Even if they're part of a corporate, business, or medical team, many feel a portrait of themselves feels awkward, or even vain. I really encourage everyone to have a headshot done, even if it feels strange or new! A beautiful, professional headshot is appropriate no matter what stage of life you're in, or what line of work. Everyone deserves to have an awesome portrait done (like the ones below), and here's why:
-A headshot can be used for many purposes: Not only is your headshot great for your website, or materials, you can use it almost anywhere else! Your social media profiles, such as Instagram and Facebook, can benefit from a professional portrait. You can also use it on your resume, online with your LinkedIn profile, and your business cards. It is also helpful to have if you do a collaboration with another business, or are featured in publications or speak at an event. it is also very smart to make your profiles the same images across platforms, so people can easily find you, and associate your name with your face.
-A headshot builds trust with your clients: When someone is booking with you, or wanting to use your services, they want to see someone they can trust. Whether it's childcare, businesses services, or medical care, they want to know that booking with you is a great choice, and one they can feel confident in. A warm, inviting, and professional headshot gives them a sense of confidence because it shows that you care about the details. You took the time to have a great image made and displayed, and they will know who you are from the first meeting. It also shows you are up-to-date and current, and not someone who doesn't know how to use online media.
-A headshot gives you confidence: Your clients aren't the only ones who benefit from confidence. YOU can have a gorgeous headshot AND feel great about it. Yep, it's not vain, or selfish. It's an investment in you and your work, and feeling good reflects back into everything you do. I can help you with everything you will need to decide from your outfit to hairstyling and give you any suggestions if you aren't feeling great about taking care of those things yourself. I love guiding clients through the process of making their branding and style front and center!
You do need a headshot! And I'd love to give you one that you will love for a very long time, one that is classic and professional, and will totally wow your clients!
