Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Carol J. Carroll, a respected leader in our community whose work speaks volumes—but whose headshot hadn’t been updated in years.
Here’s what many accomplished professionals overlook: in today’s digital world, your headshot is often the first impression you make. That photo appears on LinkedIn profiles, conference programs, board directories, and media features. It introduces you before you ever enter the room.
Carol understood that her image needed to reflect who she is now—confident, accomplished, and approachable. We created headshots that capture not just her professional polish, but the warmth and authenticity that make her such an effective leader.
Fresh, professional headshots aren’t vanity. They’re a strategic investment in how you’re perceived. They signal that you’re current, intentional, and take your professional presence seriously. Whether you’re speaking at events, quoted in articles, or connecting with new contacts online, your image should work as hard as you do.
If your headshot is more than two years old—or worse, if you’re using a cropped photo from a wedding or vacation—it’s time for an update. Your accomplishments deserve an image that matches them.
