What motivated you to get a new headshot?  How old was your previous headshot?

As someone who is always evolving, it was important that my headshot evolved with me. My previous headshot was 7 years old and it did not not feel that it full represented who I am as a professional.

How did you feel about your old headshot, and what were you looking for in your new one? 

My old headshot was fine but boring. I think it is challenging to find a headshot that can capture who you are as a professional and an individual. I wanted something professional but with an edge and femininity.

Have you received any feedback on your new headshot?

I have received very positive feedback. Many have commented that the headshot captures who I am more effectively.

How important do you think a professional headshot is for someone in your field? 

Incredibly important. I think you can tell a lot about a person's confidence, self awareness and business by their headshot.

What advice would you give to someone considering getting a new headshot? 

Think about the image you want to portray. Be true to yourself because it will come through in your picture. Dress in an outfit, hairstyle, etc. that are you.

Were you nervous or uncomfortable with the idea of having your photos taken and if so how was the experience in the end? 

I do not enjoy having my picture taken. It was very easy working with Jeff because he is not cookie cutter. It feels like he sees you and it comes through in his photography.

How did you prepare for your headshot session, and do you have any tips for others on how to get ready for theirs?

I wanted to make sure I wore something that felt like me so that I was comfortable. Jeff provides incredible guidance in is prep emails. Don't overthink it.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your experience or the impact of your new headshot?

I chose Jeff because I had seen his headshots for years and I was captivated by the artistry and simplicity. I wanted to know more about the people. Headshots don't usually make you think that way typically.

How was your experience working with S72 for your headshot session?

As mentioned above, Jeff is very easy to work with and is not trying to turn you into someone you are not. I felt at ease and look forward to doing more with him in the future.
