I hear that groan… the word headshot can fill a person with dread. I get it, I don’t like having my photograph taken much and prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it!
But, I am here to tell you why headshots are a ‘must’ for you to have on your website and social media.
An online presence is essential in the times we find ourselves in and as small businesses, we have to find a way to stand out in the crowd. You are the passion and drive behind your amazing business and people want to get to know you! A professional headshot can speak a thousand words to a potential client and can make the difference in someone choosing to connect or to scroll on by.
Professional headshots are often your first impression. People like to buy from people and love to see the face behind the brand. A professional image that has been well planned will convey the type of message you want to give out when people first come across you. It also shows you are serious about business and your brand.
Headshots help people to start to connect with you. By seeing your face, you are making your business personable and relatable. Seeing a friendly, smiling face makes it less daunting for someone to reach out to you. By putting your face out there you aremaking your business more memorable and will attract attention.
A well planned headshot taken by a professional, will show off so much more than the face behind your brand. It can show off your personality and align with your beautiful brand. Gone are the days where headshots had to be stuffy, boring and against a white background. They can be fun, quirky, relaxed, natural – whatever you want them to be!
Headshots are a great tool to help you write content about yourself. People LOVE to get to know the person behind a brand. As you start to put yourself out there on a more personal level, you will be amazed at the positive reaction and high engagement you will receive.
