I know there is quite a bit of controversy about if you should or should not have a professional head shot taken.  My answer is yes…. especially if you own your own business, have a picture of yourself on a company website,  have a LinkedIn profile and especially if you’re a real estate agent.  You’re probably ask why is it so important.   Well….let me list just a few of my reasons.

1)  You need to put your best image forward.

We live in a digital age.  Potential clients and employers get online and research you before ever considering to do business with you.  They are literally forming a first impression of you from the minute they click onto your website or LinkedIn page.  Therefore, you need to show yourself in the best possible light… use a professional headshot.  One taken by a professional photographer.  Do not use a snapshot or a selfie.  If you are currently

2)  A profession portrait conveys a message.  One which states you take yourself and your line of business seriously.

Making a small financial investment in your professional image shows that you take both yourself and your career seriously.  The simple act of using a professional headshot instead of a snapshot of yourself conveys an image of professionalism.  Potential clients and employers will take you more seriously.

3)  Quality portraiture helps you brand yourself

Using a professional image helps people put a face with the name.  They are more likely to remember you and keep you in mind the next time they are looking to hire someone within your profession.

So….have you decided it’s time for you to update your image?  If so, give me a call.  I’d love to help you with your portrait needs.
