Your headshot is part of your brand.

It should be working for YOU!

Whether you are starting a new business or sprucing up your existing enterprise, a good headshot is a business essential. It gives you a leg up when it comes to publicity, a professional web presence, or a potential speaking contract. A strong business portrait personalizes your business. People see who you are and are more likely to want to work with you. For example, business cards with a headshot are a great way of putting a face with a name (something we all know helps us to remember people - most of us remember faces better than names!) Especially for business professionals who rely heavily on personal contact with clients, such as entrepreneurs, realtors, lawyers, salespersons, interior designers, and professorial organizers! A trusting face on a business card goes a long way. Additionally, if you’re serious about growing your business you should be promoting yourself online and part of the digitalnetworking phenomenon. You should have a presence on some if not all of these sites – ecademy, Linked-in, Facebook & Twitter as well as contributing to blogs and forums. Your headshot is your digital signature and it’s vital that you have considered what an integral part it is of your brand.

Headshots can also play a key role in marketing literature and advertisements, company publications, product packaging, and press releases.

What makes a professional business headshot?

Your headshot should showcase you as an accomplished yet accessible professional. Depending on your business, you may want to show a softer side, a no-nonsense attitude, good listening skills, compassion, or a combination of these. And you want to look your best!

Your headshots must be up-to-date. A headshot is a tool, an introduction, and if you get an appointment from your business card picture and the person who walks in the door does not look like the one in the picture, you're in trouble!

Your headshots must be an honest representation of you -- your personality, type and age range. When you look at a headshot, the eyes must be saying something; the picture should engage the viewer. It should invite them in and make them feel like this is a person they would like to meet, someone they would like to work with. There should be a sense of warmth, honesty and life.

Today’s market is a competitive environment and everyone is looking out for number one. Why not take the initiative and update your headshot?

Time to Update!

Wow!
It's been awhile since I've updated this Blog. A lot has been going on at B.Morales Photography and here's the scoop!Since December of last year, business has been steady but a few things are really rocking.
We have had location  shoots in doggy day cares, mansions, farms, corporate offices, private homes and parks.  
We've shot babies, toddler's, kids, dogs, horses, families, and executive head-shots.
 We've were at the Clifton Kidfest, and the Active Girlz Expo at the Dullas Expo Center in May.
We've been through the Dog Days of Summer and now we are gearing up for Fall.
