Why a Professional Headshot Is More Than Just a Nice Photo— And yes, it actually makes a difference!

First Impressions Matter (More Than We Like to Admit)

We all do it. Scroll through LinkedIn. Spot a blurry photo taken at a friend’s wedding. And instantly think, “Hmm… not sure they’re the right fit.”

You might be the most capable person in your field, but if your profile picture doesn’t reflect that? You’re making it harder for people to see it.

And the numbers agree:

✅ LinkedIn users with a professional photo get 21x more views

✅ They receive 36x more messages

✅ And they’re 14x more likely to be contacted for opportunities

What Actually Is a Professional Headshot?

Let’s break it down. A proper headshot isn’t just a photo where you look vaguely smart.

A great headshot is:

• Well-lit: Natural, flattering lighting (not your kitchen’s overhead bulb).

• Nicely framed: Clean composition, no messy backgrounds or cropped-out exes.

• Authentic: You still look like you, just well-presented and confident.

• Purpose-built: Designed with your industry, goals, and vibe in mind.

“I Hate Having My Photo Taken…”

Welcome to 90% of my client base. If you’re worried about awkward poses, forced smiles, or feeling stiff, you’re not alone.

My approach? Keep it relaxed, personal, and zero pressure.

• No “say cheese” moments

• No 3-hour fashion shoots

• Just calm guidance and some genuinely enjoyable photo time

You’ll feel comfortable, and you’ll leave with photos that feel like you—only more polished and professional.

Why It’s Worth the Investment

Let’s be honest: in today’s online-first world, your headshot isn’t a luxury—it’s part of your brand.

Whether you’re:

• Launching a business

• Changing careers

• Freelancing or consulting

• Or just looking to feel more confident online…

…a great headshot helps build trust, credibility, and visibility in a sea of sameness.
