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.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
