Professional Business Portrait and Headshot Photographer San Diego

Here are 5 reasons why you need a professional headshot in San Diego.

1. You must look like a professional to be taken seriously in your profession. Investing in a high quality, professionally taken headshot is an investment in your personal brand. It shows you at your very best, the way you want your clients to see you.  Most of us feel we aren’t photogenic. An amateur photographer can possibly make you look worse, it may not even look like you. A professional business portrait photographer that specializes in headshots will know just the right angles to capture your best side.  When you look professional, potential clients, investors, etc. that haven’t made your acquaintance yet are going to be more likely to want to meet you when they see your business portrait.  Local photographers for headshots are your best choice as they know their business community.

 

2. San Diego portrait photographer, Barbara Steinberg, believes that a great headshot gives people an idea of your personality before you meet them. Your headshot doesn’t have to be all smiles. A serious expression shows determination and that you mean business.  Our clients like to match their expression with their personality.  The best headshot photographers know how to coach you to feel comfortable and look approachable and friendly.

 

3. A current photograph lets people know who you are now. The last thing you want to do is show up to an important business meeting looking 10 or 20 years older than your business photo. You lose credibility and looks like you don’t take yourself seriously. It’s not a good idea to surprise your potential clients in that way.  It sends a message of inauthenticity.  Professional headshot costs are not that expensive and worth every dollar. Check out our headshot photography prices. You will be pleasantly surprised.

 

4. Stay top of mind by updating your photograph every couple of years to refresh your Google images. By including a memorable professional business portrait on all your social media accounts, Google highlights those images in your profile and updates them. Almost like free advertising.

 

5. Take your best shot! No pun intended. We live in a fast paced digital world ever changing. Visitors to your web site or social media channels are looking for a photograph.  They want to connect with you on a visual level.  They may pass up your profile and move on to the next specialist in your field, if you don’t connect with them right away.  This is the best opportunity to make a great first impression that your potential clients will appreciate.
