A professional bio and headshot are often the first impression a client or employer will have of you. Take advantage of the opportunity to introduce yourself and influence their impression while you have their full attention.

A well-crafted bio serves as your professional story. It highlights your expertise, builds trust, and connects you with potential clients.

Yes, you need a headshot

I am often asked whether lawyers really need to use a headshot in their marketing materials, because they feel slightly self-conscious about including their photo. My response is

Choose a neutral background and ensure proper lighting for clarity. Wear attire that reflects your profession. A friendly expression helps create approachability.

Common Mistakes in Headshots and Bios

Avoid casual or overly formal images not aligning with your brand. Update photos regularly to reflect your current appearance for consistency.

Updating Your Professional Image

Regular updates to your headshot and bio ensure they represent your current career journey. Revisit them annually to maintain their relevance and appeal.
