Everyone Else Is Posting A New Headshot. Are You?


 How did you feel that last time you posted a new professional headshot? I'm guessing pretty good.

What I've noticed on social media is when a client posts a new headshot the comments like these start to explode.

                                               

  • Love it
  • Gorgeous
  • Wow
  • You're so pretty
  • Very professional...
  • You look younger than ever
  • Fabulous as always only more so...
  • Awesome
  • So handsome. Keep up the good work.
  • You're looking good...
  • Who took that photo? I want to look like you.
When I read the comments and see clients' social media likes it's an endorphin rush.

There are so many reasons why you'll want to update your headshot. 

  • It will attract new viewers. Have you ever bought a book twice because the cover was changed? You get the idea.
  • An updated headshot will keep you in front of clients and prospects so you're top of mind when they need you, your services or products.
  • A current headshot contributes to your authenticity. When I meet someone whose photo is so different from who they are in person it makes me think they may not be a trusted resource. 

How long has it been since you posted a new headshot? It's a new year, maybe time for a new photo of you! 

Check out this gallery of headshots for inspiration. Find a professional photographer, ask for a referral or get in touch with me.

Part 2 of 2 Thoughts for Better Visuals During a Virtual Meetings

Image
This 2 part blog addresses the professionalism and your personal brand that you can project in a virtual meeting. Don't waste the opportunity or other attendees' time if you aren't going to respect who they and you are. In Part 1  we discussed paying attention in a virtual meeting, dressing professionally, and staying in one place sitting still. The next 3 thoughts address the environmental setting. Backgrounds - Is it as difficult for you as it is for me to concentrate on the person when the background is like a storage facility? OK, that's harsh. But even though not all of us have the luxury of devoting a spiffy space to where we meet it wouldn't hurt to clean up the mess behind. Solution: have your logo, product photos, etc. ( professionally shot if possible ) printed by a retail printer and hang them up behind you. Make sure the photo size is large enough or close enough to your screen that your viewers can appreciate what's behind you. Optional...

3 Bright Ideas For Better Visual Branding During Virtual Meetings

Image
  In the past, I've written a lot about virtual meetings and the visual impact on your brand.  As a  virtual photographer , my eye starts to recognize opportunities for improving how you appear at a virtual meeting.  The tweaks are subtle.   Following are the three next level suggestions for improving your image during a virtual meeting.  💡Color of light. The most common color on an attendee's face on a virtual meeting is yellow, followed by orange. That often means the lights used are incandescent. Solution: Soft white lights are a good solution. A techie option is to go for a light rated close to 5500k (kelvins), a neutral. Many ring lights have options that include Warm White, Cool White, and Daylight. 2. 👀 Glasses. I wear them.

Have lights slightly above your screen an...
