Do You Really Need More Than One Headshot?
Short answer: no.
If you’re a business owner, one great headshot is all you truly need. Not ten. Not a different one for every social platform. Just one that shows the real you — confident, trustworthy, and approachable.
We connect with faces, not full-body poses.
People don’t decide to trust you because of your shoes, your trousers, or how you stand. It’s all in the eyes, the subtle expression, that half-second spark we feel when looking at a person’s face. That’s where the connection happens. That’s where the trust builds.
So why do some people want more than one?
Because sometimes, one image doesn’t feel like enough. You might want something more relaxed for social media, something a little sharper for your About page, or a black-and-white version that just feels right.
And that’s completely fine. Wanting more than one is your choice.
But needing more than one? Not really.
Here’s how I work:
We shoot until you are happy with what you see. You pick the images you want, no pressure, no upselling, no awkward silence while I wait for you to spend more.
Just genuine admiration from you … of you. Right there in the moment.
That “bloody hell… I actually like that” feeling? That’s my goal.
Now then … When should you change your headshot?
Now, while one good image can last you a long while, there are times when it’s wise to refresh it. Here are a few triggers:
- You’ve changed your hairstyle significantly
- You’ve grown or shaved a beard
- You’ve lost or gained noticeable weight
- You’ve started wearing glasses (or stopped)
- You’ve had a change in your style or brand identity
- You just don’t feel that the old photo reflects where you are now
If your headshot doesn’t match how you show up in the real world today, it’s time for an update.
The Final Word
You don’t need to overthink it. You just need one strong, honest image that represents the real you — not the version you’re trying to perfect, but the one you’re proud to show up as. And when that image exists, it does a lot more than sit on your LinkedIn. It speaks for you.
Ready when you are.
Come for one. Leave with the ones you love.
