Headshot relics of the past
Long Long ago, headshots were super boring and super stuffy. Thank goodness they have finally come out of the dark ages.
Small business owners today actually have the upper hand when it comes to the images they post online. Your ideal client wants to know who they are actually working with. They want to see your personality and see what you are all about.
So I am going to share my top 3 modern headshots you need ASAP!
#1 - Traditional - ok, I know what I said above, but there are sometimes when you need a traditional, professional headshot, but I stand by my statement that they don’t have to be boring or too stuffy. One way you can shake things up is with your wardrobe. Use colors, wear beautiful jewelry. Let the real you shine through. These headshots are great for your profile picture on LinkedIn.
#2 - You at work - It is possible to say a lot about yourself in one image (you know they whole “a picture is worth a thousand words”). One way to do that is to show what you do as your profile pic. It can be an image of you in your work space, you with your product, or you being you! BE CREATIVE!
These headshots are great for your Facebook profile or banner, your website’s About Me page, on your email header, etc.
#3 - Personality - I think one of the best modern headshots is when your personality shines through. Of course, these wouldn’t work on Linkedin but they show your ideal client who you are and what you are all about. These should be fun, lighthearted, and plays to your brand. These would work great on Facebook, Instagram, your website, your emails, etc.
