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.
