Is your professional headshot more than three years old? Have you just landed a new position, are looking for a new job, or want to start your own business? If any of these scenarios apply to you, you should hire a photographer specializing in headshot photography.
Your online business profile on sites like LinkedIn or a company website is often responsible for creating the initial impression people have of you, so it's essential to ensure it highlights your best attributes.
Headshots are also an excellent marketing tool, whether you’re an online influencer or a corporate employee. It allows you to establish connections with your peers and potential clients.
