What does your exec portrait say about you? 4 Big Mistakes to Avoid….

September 16, 2015

Years ago I recognized the value of including my bio pic with everything I sent out..resumes. biz cards etc etc.

Here are some of the BIG mistakes I see folks do when creating a portrait to use for their business:

MISTAKE #1– Have a friend, spouse or equally unqualified person (this includes a Costco Passport photo!) create your picture

MISTAKE #2– Get cheap. Base the image on how much it’s going to cost (see number one)

MISTAKE #3– No or little planning. I see it ALL THE TIME. Last minute “I need this done yesterday!!” Listen. This is BAD planning. Nothing more than procrastination. Plan for success.

MISTAKE #4– Use a photo from 15 years ago. Serious? Need I explain?

This is not a time to cut back, cheap out or be shy.  I hear nonsense like “I hate having my picture taken….” So what. Grow up? You’re a professional. Show the world your best side.

Not a snap shot. Not  a cheapo dept store passport photo. C’mon….be proud.

No excuses. Your picture TRANSMITS
so much about who you are.

Some examples from recent sessions this year…both in studio and on location….

When out on the big water by Britt with my sister and her husband, (who’s decided the long drive from London to Britt for weekends on the boat is way worth it), all you can hear the wind, water and birds….funny thing is, it takes a while to clear the mind from all the noises […]
