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.

Not sure how formal your headshot should be? Start here. 👇

Your outfit plays a huge role in the story your headshot tells — and choosing the right look helps you show up with clarity and confidence.

Here are 5 levels of formality for men’s headshots and when to use each one:

1️⃣ Very Formal
Suit jacket + button-down shirt + tie
This look builds instant trust and authority.

2️⃣ Semi-formal (No Tie)
Suit jacket + button-down (no tie)
Polished, approachable, and confident.

3️⃣ Business Casual
Button-down shirt, no jacket
Comfortable and true to your everyday brand.

4️⃣ Branded Apparel
Button-down or polo with company logo
Keeps things clean, professional, and consistent — especially for team headshots.

5️⃣ Casual
Fitted t-shirt or polo (no branding)
Still professional — just more relaxed and innovative.

✨ BONUS TIPS:
– Stick to solid colors
– Make sure clothes are clean, pressed & well-fitted
– Avoid loud patterns or busy logos (unless branded)
– Bring a backup shirt or jacket to your session

🎯 The goal? Choose the level that fits your industry, role, and personality — and Tara will help you photograph it perfectly.

Let's talk about it 👇🏻

Whether it’s your LinkedIn profile, website bio, or social media presence—your photo is often the first impression people get of you.

And if it’s outdated, poorly lit, overly casual, or just not aligned with who you are now… it’s doing more harm than good.

Here’s what a great headshot can do:
✅ Build instant trust with clients
✅ Attract job offers, press, or speaking gigs
✅ Help you show up confidently in a crowded market
✅ Make your personal brand feel polished and professional

It’s more than just a photo—it’s your reputation in pixels.

📸 I create relaxed, guided headshot sessions that reflect your style, your energy, and your goals. Let’s make sure your image is working for you, not against you.

Your future self will thank you. 👏
