How often should I update my headshot?
This is a very common question.
Often I hear, but I like my last headshot.
Do you? Or do you like how you looked then and be honest, do you still look like that? If you met someone in person would they whisper, nice photo but that looks like a younger version….
So, with that being said, you should probably think about updating your headshot every year or two (at the most.) I
Consider updates when hairstyles, colors, or weight change noticeably, or when your career path shifts. Industry standards also play a role; some professions require more frequent updates than others. Ultimately, a fresh headshot maintains a relevant and professional online presence.
