Your headshot is part of your story. 📸
We talk a lot about telling our stories through words—but sometimes, your story starts before you ever say a thing. A great headshot helps match your face to your story. It gives people a sense of who you are, what you do and the confidence you bring to your work. And no, having a great photo of yourself is not about vanity. It's about putting your confident self forward.
Your headshot may be the first thing someone sees before they read your bio, visit your website, invite you to speak, consider you for an opportunity or decide they want to learn more about your business. Thats why I love seeing more conferences, expos and job fairs offering professional headshots as part of the experience. If you have the opportunity—take advantage of it!
Thank you to Dragon Fly Portrait Design Photography for this complimentary photo at the Henderson Chamber of Commerce's "Ready Set Expo". What a great value to offer attendees! And once you have that new headshot, don't let it sit in your camera roll. Use it. Update your LinkedIn. Refresh your website. Add it to your speaker bio or media kit. Let people see the person behind the work.
Dont be afraid to let yourself—and your story—shine. ✨
