In a time where everyone on the planet has access to a camera on their phone, many people have reservations hiring a professional photographer for a headshot.  Whether looking for a new job, a new love interest, celebrating a milestone, or just because, hiring a professional photographer is always smart decision.  Even though technology in our phones has advanced, the barriers of entry for camera equipment has become affordable, there are several reasons why you should hire a professional.  In the digital era, you are judged by your images. Even before you meet face to face with someone.   Here are the top 10 reasons why you should hire a professional photographer for your headshot needs.

1. Angles - A true artist knows how to pose their subject in ways that flatter them.  
2. Airbrushed images - Photographer’s know how to refine your images to enhance your look, without making your images look too altered.  
3. Equipment - Photographers curate the right lenses, and the right lighting to make your images stand out from the rest.
4. Experience -  Unless you’re a jack of all trades, not everyone is good at everything. Sometimes it’s best to let the professionals do their job. 
5. Timeless - your best resource for making sure your images look current, your photographer can suggest clothing that won’t look dated in a year or two.
6. Background- Whether using a traditional backdrop or outdoors for your portrait session, your photographer can see things that an untrained eye may hot see.  
7. Usability - When you have a professional headshot, you can use it for multiple purposes.  Many of my clients use them not only for Linked in, they use their photos for dating sites, for company articles and highlights, and for social media purposes.
8. Legacy - A great image stands the test of time.  Professional portraits are something that gets passed down from generation to generation.  
9. Confidence booster - Knowing you are with a professional who’s capturing your essence and personality, you don’t have to second guess any of the images that are being taken. 
10. Professional look - Present your best possible self. Your face is your passport, and the image you post is part of your visual resume.
