31 Reasons Why You Need a New Headshot
Through the entire month of March, I shared a post on LinkedIn every single day (phew!) explaining why you need a professional headshot. Sometimes the reasons were funny. Sometimes the reasons hit a nerve. But they were all (painfully) true.
And the hardest pill to take is that they were all “crimes” I’ve personally seen committed on LinkedIn by business owners, managers, directors, presidents - you name it. I didn’t make up this list purely from my imagination.
Before I share all the reasons why you need a new headshot, let me ease your stress - getting headshots taken is not something that has to be feared, painful or put off any longer. Just think of me as your friend, the photographer. (Because I am!) We’re just getting together… to get you some fantastic new professional portraits. No big deal.
I promise it will not only be worth it, you will end up asking yourself why you waited so long.
25 REASONS WHY YOU NEED A NEW HEADSHOT
#5 HERE'S A QUIZ:
1. Look at your LinkedIn profile photo.
2.Look at your reflection in the mirror.
---> DO THEY MATCH???
If not, it's time to call me for a new headshot.
#6 HAIR CHECK:
1. Look at your LinkedIn profile photo.
2. Look in the mirror.
Is your hair longer, shorter, a different color, a different style or do you have more/less of it than in your photo? Then it's time to call me for a new headshot.
#7 FUTURE PLANNING:
Do you want to be a speaker at a conference or workshop? Are you going to be on a panel of speakers at your office?
Don't get caught without a professional photo. PLEASE don't be that one person who sticks out... for all the wrong reasons. It's time to call me for a new headshot.
#20 HERE'S A TEST:
Are all the headshots of your staff completely different (and not in a good way)?
-different backgrounds
-different angles
-different perspectives
-different tones (black and white/color or… gasp… filters)
-from a cell phone
Then you ALL need to get new LinkedIn profile pictures. I can even come to your office and get them all done in one day. Call me for your company's new headshots.
#23 August 21, 2017 was the date of the last total eclipse.
If your LinkedIn profile photo was taken before the last total eclipse... NOW is the time to call me for a new professional headshot.
Fun story - Rachel's last headshot was actually DURING the eclipse! We even went outside in the middle of her session and marveled at the mid-day darkness. Fast forward to this year, she recently came in for a fabulous new set of photos. (though there was no unusual solar event in sight.)
P.S. If your headshot was taken before the LAST-LAST total eclipse *in 1974*, PLEASE CALL ME IMMEDIATELY. 😱
