Is it time to update your headshot? Maybe you are trying to make your old headshot last as long as possible for you, despite outdated styles or colors.

You want to put your best foot forward when you are representing yourself online. You want to make sure that potential clients and collaborators see the real you, on your best day. It’s important to keep your LinkedIn profile up-to-date with current information and a current profile photo.

Katy came into the Berks Headshots studio for a headshot update. Her last headshot was from 18 years ago, so she knew she needed an update. In the meantime, she had changed her old photo to black and white to remove the outdated colors of the background and help keep it current.

Katy creates a variety of social posts to share on platforms like LinkedIn. She posts tips and advice, information and education, and self-promotional posts. She uses her headshot in these posts often, linking her face to the helpful info she provides. She ended up choosing two headshot photos so she would be able to use different ones at different times—a traditional head-and-shoulders shot, and a full-length one.

A headshot is an investment in your business. A great way to maximize your investment is by using your headshot often on social media and your website. You can grow your personal brand with a headshot that expresses who you are as well as your experience and professionalism.
