If Your Headshot Is Fake, What Else Is?

The fastest way to undermine your credibility is to use an AI headshot.

Let’s talk about trust.

Whether you’re a coach, consultant, creative, or founder, your face is often the first impression your viewer gets. Before they read a word you have to say, they’re looking you up on google and linkedin at your headshot.

And when that headshot is an AI image, overly retouched, or looks like a 10 year younger version of you, the message is loud and clear: “I’m not quite ready to show up as myself.”

You know what it also says?

“I’m not willing to invest in myself and my career.”

Ever notice that AI generated headshots give people weird glassy eyes, plastic looking skin texture and a stiff mannequin pose.

Or the how about the fake background?

Looking too perfect does not build connection. Authenticity does.

Clients, collaborators, investors—hire your expression, your energy, your presence, your confidence.

And how can you get that kind of presence in a photo? Well, it takes experienced coaching and technical skill by a professional photographer who specializes exclusively headshots.

You might think you’re saving time or money.

But what you’re really saying is:

• “Any picture is good enough.”

• “My image isn’t worth investing in.”

• “I have low self confidence to be seen for who I am.”

Let that sink in.

So, what’s the alternative?

Work with someone who takes the time to really see you. Someone who can guide and pose you and bring out your confidence—even if you think you have none.

Hire a professional photographer who understands lighting for your specific features and knows how to coach you into an authentic expression.

Because you’re not just getting a photo. You’re creating a first impression that actually builds trust.

I would love to work with you. Let’s chat on the phone, I’d love to share my process and how my studio GUARANTEES you’ll love your new headshots. After all, over 480 5-star google reviews can’t be wrong.
