When was the last time you had a professional portrait taken?  If you answer high school graduation, you need to get on the ball!

Today’s photo-friendly media options, including LinkedIn, Facebook, company websites and blogs, provide numerous opportunities to post your photo as a site enhancement.

You might encounter an unexpected need for a professional photo as I recently did.  Consider this scenario:  A newspaper reporter calls to request an interview.  You, of course, oblige because you want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to build your personal and business presence in the community.  Their next request:   Please send a high resolution picture to accompany the article.  Will you be prepared, or will you panic and send the best digital picture you can manage on short notice?

The solution is actually quite simple.  Set an appointment at a photography studio at your local mall or find a local freelance photographer specializing in headshots.  For approximately $75 and in less than 30 minutes, you should be able to complete a ‘photo shoot’ with two outfit changes, select your pictures, pay, and be out the door with high resolution pictures in-hand on a CD.

Why wait until you get caught in a bind?  Schedule your photo op now!
