5 Signs It’s Time to Update Your Headshots

Do you already have headshots?  If so, you might think this article does not apply to you.  Ideally, headshots should be updated every two years.  Here are a few signs it is time to invest in new headshots:

1. You are older.  Have you had a few birthdays since your last headshot?  Notice any changes in the mirror?  The reality is your headshot needs to look recent, so aging is the first good reason to update that headshot.

2. You’ve updated your look.  Have you recently lost a bit of weight, changed your hair color, significantly changed your hair style or gone from facial hair to no facial hair?  If people do not recognize you from your profile picture, it may be time for an update.  You do not want to come off as misleading.

3. You tried to do it yourself.  Did you have your coworker run outside and snap a picture when the boss asked for a headshot?  Or worse, you used that selfie you took in the car?  The best version of you is not coming through, please let me help you fix this.  Let’s face it, the selfie in the car does not scream professional at all.

4. Rebranding. Have you changed jobs or changed careers altogether?  Your headshot should represent your new career or brand.

5. Consistency.  In this day and age, it is important to be present on many social media platforms.  Consistency is key.  Having an updated headshot on all platforms, business cards and websites demonstrates professionalism and brand consistency.
