Is it time to update your headshot?

An updated headshot might be in order if you’ve had any life changes like weight loss, a new hair style, or a new career.  I also recommend a new headshot if it’s been more than 4-5 years since your last headshot.  The idea is that your headshot is a true representation of your best YOU!  If your current headshot is 10 years old, it’s likely that you don’t look like that image any longer.  You’re older, wiser, and have more experience and maybe a few more greys like I do!  I would like to create a headshot that is fabulous and really shows you for who you are.  Your customers will appreciate that.  A headshot should be the first introduction to your business and brand.  Let’s make sure we start off in truth and confidence with a headshot that reflects you.

Dennis requested a headshot session for his consulting business, DDM Consulting.  His current headshot was out of date and the company said it was time for an update!  Since the company sends the headshot to clients, they wanted it to be current and professional.  Dennis loved the headshots and was so relieved that he could send in the updated headshot to his company.  I love that his wife came along to the session!  Since Dennis also plays bass for several local churches, he wanted a shot with the guitar.  Whatever your profession or hobby, our instruments are so important.  He loves this guitar and I think it shows through in this image.

When was the last time you updated your headshot? 👀

If your photo is from 10, 15, or even 30 years ago… it’s time.

Using an outdated headshot might seem harmless, but it can actually break trust — especially in professions where connection, credibility, and transparency matter (which is… all of them).

💬 Imagine a client or patient walks in expecting the person they saw online… and barely recognizes you.
It may feel small, but it instantly creates a disconnect.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Your clients want to see the real you.
✅ A recent headshot builds trust and shows you’re showing up with integrity.
✅ If your look has changed significantly (new hair, new role, new energy!) — it’s time.

Keep it current. Keep it real.
And if you’re not sure where to start, I’ve got you. DM me for a free consultation. 📸✨
Pretty pictures aren’t enough.

If you don’t know who your audience is, your branding photos won’t do what they’re supposed to do — build trust, tell your story, and attract the right clients.

Before every branding session, I walk my clients through a strategy call where we get crystal clear on two things:

1️⃣ Who are you speaking to?
2️⃣ What message do you want to send?

Because a realtor needs to connect with buyers and sellers.
An attorney needs to earn trust.
A coach needs to show confidence and approachability.

Intentional imagery makes all the difference.
📸 Let’s create brand photos that actually work for you.

What should you wear for your headshot session?
It depends on how you want to show up.

Your outfit sets the tone — and the right level of polish helps you appear confident, credible, and uniquely you.

Here are 4 levels of formality to help you choose the best look for your headshots 👇🏻

1️⃣ The Modern Suit Jacket
Crisp, structured, and powerful. Perfect for executives, attorneys, and leadership roles.

2️⃣ Soft Professional (No Jacket)
A sleek blouse or polished top with clean lines. Professional without being stiff — great for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

3️⃣ Elevated Casual (Sweaters & Knits)
A fitted knit or stylish sweater gives an approachable, warm, and modern vibe. Ideal for creatives, educators, or small business owners.

4️⃣ Casual Short Sleeve
Simple, solid, and flattering. Feels relaxed but still polished — great for wellness pros, lifestyle brands, or startup teams.

✨ Quick Styling Tips:
– Stick to solid colors that flatter your skin tone
– Skip busy prints & distracting accessories
– Choose wrinkle-free, well-fitting pieces
– Bring a backup outfit or layering option!

🎯 Not sure what’s best for your brand?

We go over wardrobe during your pre-session consultation — so you’ll feel 100% confident in what you wear and how you show up.
