When to update your headshot

When was the last time you updated your headshot?  If it’s been more than a year or two, it’s probably time for an update.  I know that you were younger and thinner in your last photo but here are a few things to consider.  Remember that this headshot instills trust with clients and step one is that your headshot represents who you are now!

  1. Has your look changed dramatically (weight loss, hair length for women, got glasses or got rid of them)?  If you look completely different than in your past photo, it’s time for an update.
  2. Has your role or company changed?  If you’re now in a different role, you might need a new look to compliment that role.  Or a different company may have a different look.
  3. Have you started a new venture?  If so, new images will create interest and speak to your potential clients.
  4. What is the quality of your current headshot?  If it’s blurry or distracting or cropped too tight or too loose or over/under-exposed, it’s time for a new headshot.  All of these things affect your impression.

Headshot Samples

Here are some recent headshot sessions.  Most of these are updates for new employees at companies that I have photographed in the past.  When we use a studio setup, it’s easy to add new employees to the mix and have a coherent look with the rest of your company’s headshots.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens during a branding session… this is it 😅

It’s not just about getting great photos — it’s about creating an experience where you can show up, relax, and let your personality come through.

The truth is...

Different images serve different purposes. The photo you use for LinkedIn might not be the same one you use for a speaking engagement, your website, or a personal brand feature.

Your audience, your industry, your role, and the message you want to communicate all influence how your images should look and feel.

That’s why thoughtful, intentional branding photography makes such a difference. When your photos align with your goals, they start working for you — helping you build trust and credibility before you ever say a word.

If you're in need of a headshot refresh, I'm your girl 😉

The difference between good branding photos and great ones..?

Your wardrobe strategy.

Every outfit in a branding session should have a purpose. Different looks help you show different sides of your brand — and give you images you can use across your website, social media, speaking engagements, and more.

Carrie absolutely nailed it with her wardrobe choices for this session. ✨

The photos might look polished…
but behind the scenes there’s a lot of laughing, hyping clients up, and figuring out the best angles together.

Branding sessions should feel relaxed, collaborative, and honestly… pretty fun.

This is what it really looks like on set. ✨

Everyone says “I’m not photogenic”… until they’re actually in front of a camera with someone who knows how to pose them.

A little direction. A little encouragement. A few tiny adjustments…and suddenly they’re like, “Wait—THAT’S me?”

You don’t need to be photogenic.
You just need support.
