5 Ways to Use Headshots

Your new professional headshots will bring immediate attention and success.  On social media, a new profile image attracts lots of attention from friends and followers.  Prepare for the attention and use it for good!  Here are a few ways to use your headshots.

  1. Website – update your “About Me” or “Team” page with your professional headshots.  It will go a long way toward making you look professional and capable.
  2. Printed Marketing Materials – whether you need business cards, flyers, brochures, or other materials, use your headshot so that people put a face with the name and brand.
  3. Social Media – update your profile photo and be prepared for lots of attention.
  4. Email Marketing – use headshots and other action shots in your email marketing to show clients what it looks like to work with you.  Transform prospects into clients by making them feel like they already know you!
  5. Bio for speaking engagements or press releases – send your headshot to the marketing department for speaking engagements or press releases.  They’ll thank you for expediting that process.

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what's not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?
My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?
‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don't resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.
A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.
