Maximizing Your Headshot Investment: Creative Uses for Your Images

Your headshot is an important investment in your professional image and personal brand. But did you know that there are many creative ways to use your headshot beyond just your LinkedIn profile?

 

Here are some creative uses for your headshot images that can help maximize your investment and take your personal brand to the next level.

 

  1. Use your headshot on your website: Whether you have a personal website or a business website, using your headshot on your “About Me” or “Team” page can help build trust and connection with your audience. It can also help put a face to the name and make your website more approachable.
  2. Incorporate your headshot into your email signature: Adding your headshot to your email signature can help make your emails more personal and professional. It can also help build recognition and reinforce your personal brand with every email you send.
  3. Use your headshot in your marketing materials: Incorporating your headshot into your marketing materials, such as brochures, flyers, or business cards, can help make them more eye-catching and memorable. It can also help build trust with potential clients by showcasing your professionalism.
  4. Create social media banners with your headshot: Using your headshot in your social media banners can help you stand out on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It can also help reinforce your personal brand and make your profiles more visually appealing.
  5. Use your headshot in video intros: If you create video content, consider incorporating your headshot into your video intros or outros. It can help build connection with your audience and make your videos more personal and engaging.

 

By incorporating your headshot into various aspects of your personal and professional brand, you can maximize your investment and make a lasting impression on your audience. Remember to choose a high-quality headshot that accurately reflects your personality and brand, and work with a professional photographer if possible. With these tips in mind, you can take your personal brand to the next level and make the most of your headshot investment.

 

Branding Images and Headshots

We had a great time creating branding images for Susan Vaughan and her team!  They had full hair and makeup services and then came prepared with wardrobe options for lots of different looks.  The portfolio gives them so many options for marketing pieces from billboards to business cards.

With both Basic and Premium Branding Packages available, there’s an option for every business and every budget.

🎁 This season, give the gift that keeps on giving — invest in her business and her success.

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.

Here's how I can help you elevate your business next year 👇🏻

My branding sessions go far beyond “just photos.” We’ll start with a personalized consultation to talk through your brand colors, style, and message — then plan a session that feels intentional, aligned, and true to you.

Each branding experience includes professional hair and makeup services and multiple looks, so you can capture different sides of your brand — from approachable and friendly to bold and confident.

You can choose from two session options designed to fit your goals:

✨ Basic Branding Session: 3 looks, 9 final images, and 1.5 hours of photography.

✨ Premium Branding Session: 4 looks, 12 final images, 2 hours of photography, plus a branding video to bring your story to life.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a full collection of cohesive, high-quality visuals that represent your next chapter — confident, polished, and unmistakably you.

If 2026 is your year to scale, let’s make sure your photos reflect it.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.
