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.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

✨ Ready to level up your real estate brand? Contact me and let’s create images that actually work for your business.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.

Ready to finally love your headshot?
Contact me to schedule a session designed to make you feel good and look good. 🤍

What is your headshot or branding saying about you?

Because whether you realize it or not… your image is already telling a story.
The question is — is it the right one?

Your photo is often your first impression: on LinkedIn, your website, your business card, even your email signature. And people will make assumptions based on what they see.

✔️ Does your headshot show confidence and approachability?
✔️ Does it reflect your personality, values, and professionalism?
✔️ Or is it outdated, unclear, or totally misaligned with where you`re headed?

Your image should tell your story before you even speak.
Make sure it’s the one you want people to hear.

Let’s capture photos that reflect the real you — with intention, authenticity, and style.

How to feel confident in photos 👇🏻

Let’s be honest — not everyone loves being in front of the camera. But confidence in your photos isn’t about being a model… it’s about feeling like yourself.

Here are a few ways to boost your confidence before your next session:

✨ Wear something that makes you feel good.
Choose outfits that fit well, reflect your style, and make you feel like the best version of you.

✨ Practice posture + breathing.
Good posture instantly improves how you carry yourself — and deep breaths help you relax and release tension.

✨ Shift your mindset.
Instead of focusing on how you look, focus on what the photo represents — your personality, your story, your growth.

✨ Work with a photographer who gets it.
That’s where I come in. I’ll guide you through every step of the process — from what to wear to how to pose — so you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely you in every shot.

📸 Let’s create photos you actually love. Contact me to chat or book your session.
