LinkedIn Headshot

According to a January 2019 article by Pauline Gabrielli, “LinkedIn profiles with professional headshots receive roughly 14 times more profile views and are 36 times more likely to receive a message on LinkedIn. It’s important to look professional, hard-working and approachable.”

This article was written a year and a half ago. The thing about living in a pandemic is that meeting people virtually is all that we can do right now. Your headshot is more important than ever! When companies are reviewing candidates on LinkedIn, you certainly want every advantage you can get. The professional headshot might make the difference in getting that message. The professional headshot makes you look confident, capable, and friendly. What recruiter wouldn’t want you on their team?

Headshot Examples

LinkedIn is a professional social network and the key word there is professional. It’s not a place for the selfie, the group cutout, the family photo, or the brand logo. Those types of images do not present a professional. People do business with people. I think I’ve said that 100 times but it’s so true. The human connection is a powerful force. You want your headshot to make that human connection in an instant. Thankfully, photos can do that! Below are some examples of professional headshots both in and out of the studio. Background and location can be tailored to suit your style.

A great headshot isn’t just for CEOs anymore. It’s for small business owners, career changers, creatives, and anyone showing up professionally online.

✨ Whether you`re on LinkedIn, launching a biz, or just tired of that old crop from five years ago—I’ve got you.

And just in time for Father’s Day…

Goldfish have longer attention spans than most people online. If your visuals don’t speak fast, they’re not being seen.

And more often than not, it’s your photos doing the talking before you ever say a word.

High-quality, professional visuals do more than “look good.” They ⤵️

✅ Build Trust Instantly

People want to feel like they know you before they work with you. Clear, polished images of you (not stock photography) help potential clients connect with the face behind the business.

✅ Showcase Professionalism

From your website to your Instagram grid, cohesive brand photography tells the world you’re serious, credible, and ready for business.

✅ Create Brand Clarity

What do you want people to feel when they land on your page? Confident? Warm? Innovative? Your visuals should reflect that vibe—because clarity creates confidence.

✅ Set You Apart

In a saturated market, people are buying you as much as your product or service. Brand photography gives you a chance to stand out with personality, story, and style.

If you’re still using a mix of selfies, old photos, or generic images, you might be confusing your audience—or worse, losing them.

Let’s fix that. Let’s create visuals that stop the scroll and start the connection.

Let’s talk about a few common mistakes that can totally throw off your branding session 👇🏻

❌ Unplanned Outfit Choices

Random, last-minute outfits = a scattered visual message. Your photos should reflect your brand intentionally — not just what`s clean in the closet.

❌ No Vision or Direction

If you’re unsure how you want to show up online, your photos will reflect that confusion. A clear brand vision makes all the difference.

❌ Rushing or a Stressed Mindset

Showing up frazzled can impact your energy, your expression, and how confident you feel on camera (and it shows!).

✨Here’s the good news - you don’t have to figure this out alone. I guide you through it all with:

✔️ A pre-session consult to plan every detail

✔️ Outfit and location guidance that fits YOUR brand

✔️ Confidence-boosting prep tips

When we plan it together, you show up feeling calm, prepared, and confident — and that’s when the magic happens. 💫
