The internet has since come along and made information extremely accessible to anyone with a web connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Images is at our fingertips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If an individual wants to learn more about you or your company they now look no farther than their smartphone\/computer. Information is literally at the consumer&#8217;s fingertips. Because of this, the first impression you often make is via the internet. Be it your company website, your LinkedIn profile or your social media pages, people are looking for information about you online.  They are also looking for images of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impressions are made about you\/your company before a person even meets you or steps through your company doors. How many times have you done research about a company or looked up a new doctor before going in for your appointment?  Your potential customers are doing the exact same thing.  They&#8217;re researching you and your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Impressions Count<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost everyone has narrowed down their selection of whom to hire based on the headshot placed online.&nbsp; Maybe you felt a person&#8217;s photo made them look as if they would be easy to work with. Or, a stern expression on another person&#8217;s headshot gave you the impression they would be a tough lawyer.&nbsp; Although many factors do go into selecting whom you will hire, the headshot used on their website and sales literature <g class=\"gr_ gr_6 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"6\" data-gr-id=\"6\">do<\/g> leave you with an impression about the person and their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Use a Selfie!&nbsp; Hire a Professional Photographer.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I know it&#8217;s easy to snap a selfie or ask a friend to take a quick photo on a cell phone. However, the lack of energy put into your selfie in comparison to having your headshot taken by a professional photographer can affect your business negatively.
