Create Your Own Headshot

When planning for your headshot session, consider that all of the little decisions that you and your photographer make will shape the final outcome of the headshot.  You can create your own headshot by talking with your photographer about all of the headshot decisions.  Consider the following:

  1. Location: this has a big impact on the final images.  Do you want a more casual, outdoor headshot?  Or would you prefer a studio look?  Even in the studio, I can create a natural light image but we don’t have to worry about the weather.  Many of my clients love this option!
  2. Wardrobe: another big decision that impacts the final images.  Your profession and role will play a factor in what you wear.  If your industry calls for formal attire with a suit and tie, then you probably should wear one too.  If your industry is more casual, then you should be as well.
  3. For women, hair and makeup: consider having professional hair and makeup done before the session.  My hair and makeup artist knows how to apply makeup to account for studio lighting.  She will make you look and feel amazing!

Sample Headshot Images

Here are just a few sample headshot images from recent sessions.  The first group is from a local psychologist office.  Their headshots are friendly and warm and casual in an outdoor setting.  They are slightly different yet similar in style.  For the next office, we used a neutral grey background and everyone wore a suit jacket and white button down shirt with no tie.  For me, this is professional yet not stuffy!  At the end of the headshots, we got a great group photo that is relaxed yet professional as well.  The final two headshot images were individuals that came to the studio.  Janie needed a professional headshot on a white background.  Her image is clean and ready for LinkedIn and her company website.  The last headshot was taken in the office and blends with the other headshots photographed last year.  With a few decisions prior to your session, you can create your own headshot!

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.
