Think you don't need a professional headshot? Think again...

It's a New Year - isn’t it time to freshen up that headshot?

You only get ONE chance to make a first impression. Your headshot is your virtual handshake.  You are making your first impressions to clientele, employers and business partners without even being physically present, so you should carefully choose the first impression you want the world to see. It is people’s port of entry into what you stand for.

The Wall Street Journal reports that "LinkedIn profiles that include a photograph are seven times more likely to be viewed than those that don’t. “Without a photo, you’ll be more likely miss out on a job (or a meeting) rather than land one." 

What impression do you want to leave with your customer or prospect? Whether you need a portrait for a social media profile or business cards, headshots for an office full of colleagues, custom photographs for your web site or marketing materials, or recommendations on how you can properly and professionally use photography to promote your business, I can help you and your business make a great impression.  

A quality portrait, whether you're a business professional, author, speaker, or actor, builds your brand and helps promote you and your business.

When you have a website presence and multiple social media profiles you’ll get some great looks that will help you build and grow your personal brand. And you’ll get images customized for your most-used social media sites.  Formal, business, casual, seasonal (winter, spring, summer, fall)—it’s up to you.
