How to use your LinkedIn network

LinkedIn is a social platform for business connections.  It is not a social network for socializing…it’s business!  Professional connections are the key to this platform.  First, it’s a great idea to be on LinkedIn with a professional headshot and resume.  If you can also get a few recommendations on your profile, that’s great too.   You never know when you’ll need to look for a job or need a connection in your current role.  Next, be sure to connect with current and past co-workers, friends, and acquaintances.  It could be that your next job or lead comes from a friend of a friend.  Finally, engage with your network by posting articles or just interacting with others on the site.  Be a resource in your field and help others.

Headshots for Total Safety

On LinkedIn, I am connected to one of my husband’s former co-workers.  She and I connected at several office Christmas parties and hit it off.  She’s a fun personality and I always loved seeing her and chatting with her.  Fast forward to her new job.  She contacted me on LinkedIn asking about headshots for about 5 people in the office.  I photographed her and her co-workers in the office and turned the headshots around so they could put them on the website.  Her boss was thrilled.  Thanks Alisa for thinking of me!  I’m so glad I got to see my friend and provide a service to her company.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨

It’s almost senior portrait season again… and somehow, it always arrives faster than we expect. ✨

Senior portraits are a way to pause time just for a moment and celebrate who they are right now, before everything changes.

If you’re starting to think about senior portraits, now is the perfect time to begin planning.

📩 DM me to learn more about senior sessions and availability.

One of the biggest reasons people put off booking a branding session?

They have no idea what to expect.

And when you don't know the process, it's easy to talk yourself out of investing.

So here's the truth👇🏻

I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm walking you through every step so you feel confident, prepared, and like you're working with a partner who actually gets your business.

No guessing. No awkward posing. No "figure it out yourself" energy.

If you've been waiting for the right time to update your brand imagery, let's talk. Link in bio to book your free consultation. 📸

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next. 

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.
