Did you know that getting new headshots can increase your confidence?
Posted on
When you have a headshot photo shoot with me, you obviously get some brand photos packed with personality to use in your marketing and social media.
But you get more than that.
My clients have told me that the process of getting their headshots has increased their confidence, with positive effects on their mindset and their business.
They've experienced greater confidence when:
- Sharing their LinkedIn profile.
- Responding to requests for speaking engagements.
- Sharing their website.
- Showing up on social media.
And before you say “oh here’s another unsubstantiated claim on social media" - I have evidence for this!
As one client put it:
“I feel really happy when someone says ‘do you have a headshot’ as I know it’s:
a) one I like
b) good quality and
c) natural as well as being professional all rolled into one!”
Not only this, but the process of preparing for your shoot and having your brand photos taken is a confidence boost in itself.
As we prepare for your brand shoot, I'll ask you to think about what locations and style you're looking for. Many clients put together a mood board on Pinterest. You will find that this process gives you more clarity about how you want to present yourself in your marketing, which in turn gives you confidence to be more visible.
I’ve seen some pretty wild claims lately about what brand photography can do for your business (...I’ll come on to that in another post.) I will never promise things I don’t have any evidence for.
But I am confident in saying it can improve your confidence!
