Time for a new look – new image


Guilty – yes guilty as charged.

What am I guilty of?  Being like most people and waiting forever for a new business portrait. 

Yes, I used every excuse in the book. 
-          The old picture is just fine.  And it was/is.  In fact I still like it.  A dear friend and very talented photographer created it for me.  But, I don’t look like that any more.
-          I need to loose some weight.  Uhhhhh, well I still need to loose some weight.  But I have lost some and need to celebrate that!

These are just two of the excuses.  I could list more, but I doubt you want to read a novel.

As an artist, I wanted my business portrait to be more reflective than most are.
It is summer and like most women, I decided it was time for a new hairdo.  I love the one that Rowena at Salon on 10 did for me.  But it made me realize it was definitely time for a new portrait of me.  A road trip to one of my favorite photography locations and I had a new image showing off my new image.

This got me thinking even more.  I know there are other business people, actors/artists and others that need a quality image to help promote their business or themselves.  And I will bet there are many out there using pictures that they cannot remember how long it has been since it was created.

So, I am offering a special business portrait promotion during the month of July.  For $100 you will receive two (I so wanted to do the classic “not one, but two” line here) business portraits to use to market and promote your business. 

Everyone needs a professional traditional business headshot in their files.
The first one will be the all purpose business headshot.  This is always a good image to have ready to use for a variety of things, such as: press releases, marketing materials and speaking packets if you do presentations to groups.  

The second one will show more of your personality and/or related to your profession and what you do.  We will discuss this and come up with the perfect idea for this portrait.  This image will be great to use in your blog or just do a blog post on it, website, in your newsletter and brochures. Or you could just use it on your social media sites. 

“But that’s not all”  Sorry had to use that classic line.

When you call to schedule your session, I will share my secret on what is the most overlooked thing to consider when having a business portrait done.  This secret could improve the impact of your marketing materials.

Plus, for a while I have wanted to feature some local businesses in my newsletters and blog.  This will give me a chance to get to know you and your business and allow me to feature you and your business.  

So take out your business card or other marketing materials that has your picture on it.  How old is that image?  Do you still have that same hairstyle?  Would the public recognize you on the street from that image? 

It is time for a new one isn’t it?  Call me 828-397-6055
