a set of professional headshots

Did you know it takes just a tenth of a second to form a first impression of someone? That means people often judge trustworthiness and professionalism based on appearance. No pressure, huh?

In a city like Cincinnati, where professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs are thriving, your headshot is your personal brand’s first impression. Whether it’s on LinkedIn, your company website, or even your email signature, your photo tells a story about you before you say a single word.

But when is it time to update your headshot? If you’re reading this blog post, there’s a good chance the time is now! Let’s break it down:

4 Signs You Need a New Headshot

1. You Don’t Look Like Yourself Anymore

Using a headshot from 10 years ago? Changed your hairstyle, hair color, or overall look? While that photo might hold sentimental value, it could lead to confusion when people meet you in person and don’t recognize you. A professional headshot should reflect who you are right now.

2. You Look Like Yourself But Don’t Feel Your Best

Does your current headshot feel too stiff, overly formal, or just outdated? If it doesn’t align with your personality or energy, it’s time for a refresh. Your headshot should highlight the confident, approachable, and authentic version of you.

3. You See It Everywhere and Cringe

Let’s be honest—you probably see your headshot more than anyone else does. From business cards to LinkedIn to messenger apps, it’s a constant reminder of how you present yourself. If your headshot doesn’t make you feel proud or confident, it’s time to invest in a photo that does.

4. Your Career or Brand Has Shifted

A career pivot, promotion, or rebrand is the perfect reason to update your headshot. Your professional image should align with where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.
