Headshots are an essential tool for personal branding and internet presence in today's world.
Here's an example of why you should have a professional or business headshot. Would you consider visiting a doctor whose photo was shot with a cellphone at a club or while on vacation if you came across his internet profile? You wouldn't, of course.
To be honest, we've never seen such a profile of a medical practitioner because medical professionals are highly taught early in their careers about their image and the image of the profession.
Connecting with the person behind the business is essential for developing long-lasting relationships; companies of all sizes are increasingly use professional headshots to create connections with present and prospective consumers.
Headshots are now ubiquitous. They appear on the websites of both major organizations and small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Without a professional headshot to help you connect with clients and establish your brand, it's almost as if you're not bringing business cards to a networking event.
People remember faces, and your headshot is how you can get your message out there.

Why should you engage a professional to take your headshot?
Professionalism. First and foremost, it lends credibility and professionalism to you. Potential clients, investors, and collaborators are more likely to take you seriously if they discover you online, whether on LinkedIn, your website, or even Facebook.
Initial Impression. Did you know that within 10 seconds of meeting or being seen, we are assessed by someone? Whether we like it or not, we do judge a book by its cover.
Assume a buyer is seeking for widgets and wants to establish a long-term business connection with the widget salesperson.
Personality. A decent headshot can offer potential clients a sense of who you are, and a beautiful grin may go a long way.
Confidence. When you call on a potential customer, a good headshot will make you feel more confident and competent. we usually recommend having a makeup and hair artist on site or getting everything done ahead of time. It's remarkable how much more confident you'll feel as a result. If you are waiting to lose those 10 pounds, there is no reason to wait; retouching can trim those cheeks or arms down to the point where no one will notice but will just comment on what a wonderful image it is.
Stand out from the crowd. A excellent LinkedIn profile photo will set you apart from the competitors.
Here are a few other reasons to invest in a business professional headshot:
It enables you to exert influence over your brand's messaging. Are you a financial consultant? Perhaps you desire a more approachable but businesslike position.
Whether you're introducing yourself at a networking event or encouraging someone to follow you on social media, that headshot helps link your name and face. You'll accelerate the development of commercial partnerships.
If you last updated your headshot a decade ago, you're setting yourself up for a bit of a surprise with business contacts. You certainly don't want someone's initial reaction to meeting you to be, "Wow, that's not who I expected."
It boosts your self-esteem. Consider your favorite clothing, the one that elicits feelings of attractiveness, style, and confidence in you. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could wear it every time you had to create a first impression, even only for a few minutes? This is accomplished through the use of a business professional headshot, which captures you at your finest and uses that image to present you to the public.

Investing in quality business headshots makes your brand appear professional to potential customers.
Having professionally photographed headshots on your website, social media pages, and emails will undoubtedly pique your customers' interest in your company.
People who visit your social media pages and websites, or who receive your emails, will have the impression that the professionalism displayed by your marketing efforts is the same as the professionalism displayed by your services.
As a result, your prospects will need little convincing to become customers.
It is critical that your headshots be consistent and as professional as possible.
For the finest results, you should entrust all photography work to a professional.
Poorly captured images might do more harm than good to your business.
They exhibit a lack of professionalism and a commitment to personal branding.
Invest in yourself because it may turn out to be the best investment you've ever made.

When consumers contact your business, the majority of them want to know who they are working with.
ESTABLISH TRUST
When clients get a glimpse behind the scenes and meet the person behind the business, they develop a greater sense of trust in you and are more likely to purchase and remain loyal. It's all about the'know-like-trust' element!
DIFFERENTIATE YOURSELF
With so many similar products and services available, you need something to differentiate yourself. While there may be a few firms that operate similarly to yours, there is only one YOU. If the appropriate people see you, hear your story, and understand why you are unique, they will connect with you.
IMPROVE PERCEPTION
Perception refers to how other people see you and your business. How others view you is heavily influenced by your complete brand and brand identity. In comparison to a low-quality, poorly-lit selfie, a professional headshot and library of personal brand imagery will enhance how people see your business.
IMPORTANT VALUE
With an increased perception comes a correspondingly higher value. Others will be ready to pay more for your products or services if they consider you and your business to be professional, high-quality, and trustworthy.
YOUR ULTIMATE SELF
Not only does a professional portrait photographer understand how to use light and composition to enhance your appearance, they also know how to put you at ease and have fun, allowing your true personality to shine through the shot. They'll advise you on wardrobe selection, hair and makeup application, and attractive postures so that you feel confident, powerful, and thrilled to share your unique personality with the world!
Are you changing careers and need a new corporate headshot to look more professional?

Clients are reassured by your branding image that you are a leader in your sector and can be trusted.

The price of our headshot photography can vary greatly based on how you use it (personal versus corporate). We do offer affordable prices for LinkedIn package.
For men, we recommend a medium to dark suit jacket, or if you are not wearing a jacket, you should wear a shirt color other than white, if you need a headshot against a white background. For women, long story short, we recommend a top with a simple neckline (scoop neck works well) with minimal jewelry.
What if I'm NOT a photogenic person ? We heard this comment very often. We will help you during the session just to be YOURSELF! When you stop thinking about how you look is when you look the most attractive.
How do I choose a Portrait photographer ? Liking the photographer's work is only 50% as important as liking and TRUSTING the photographer. There's a good chance you're not a professional model and don't know what to do in front of a camera. It is the photographer's responsibility to direct you to the shots you require. Please give us a call and take the time to speak with us on the phone. TerrificShot Studio Photography specializes in portrait photography.
I don't know nothing about posing. Will you direct me? That is exactly what separates us from the rest of the headshot photographers around us in Palo Alto. We believe that technical camera/lightning represents 10% of the work. The other 90% is the photographer’s job to create an atmosphere that you feel safe and to provide guidance on what to do in front of the camera. Having your picture taken is NOT a natural experience. During the session, we will do our best to make you feel relax. When we reach these moments is when we capture your best personality.
Do you provide retouching? The most important is to get your best face expression that emphasizes your credibility during the session. Next, all minor imperfections such as blemish, wrinkles and so on... can be taken care with a few clicks of mouse under photoshop! Keep in mind, the best retouching is when you look natural in the picture. We will discuss specific editing requests concerns with you during the session.
How long will it take to get my final images? Right after the session, the same day, you get your photos proofing gallery via email and text in order for you to pick your images. Once we get your selection, it takes only ONE day. In fact, you can get your final images the SAME DAY. Of course, You can provide your feedback on the edited photos and we would be happy to edit more if needed. The final images will be delivered via email or download link.
