New year, New headshot

Is it 2026 already? Time is whizzing by. I don’t feel any older but my kids are certainly growing, but often I can’t tell because I’m with them so much. It’s only when other people see them; people who haven’t seen them for a while who tell me and my wife how much they have grown or changed.

Everyone always says that when you reach a certain age, you never really feel older. I’m not so sure about that – physically I feel more aches and pains than I did when I was younger, though there probably is a remedy to that – more exercise and more stretching. However much time I have on my hands, at this time of year I find it difficult to motivate myself to do that. Anyway, I digress, slightly.

We all do change, whether we like it or not, and it’s important to update your online persona to reflect that.

"Do you think it’s time you updated your headshot? What about the headshots in your team at work? Or perhaps the whole company?"

I often hear people say, right before I take their headshot at their office, that they like their current headshot, so weren’t sure why they need a new one. I ask them how old their current headshot is, and their answer is often more than 5 years. It’s no wonder they like their current one, it was taken when they were 5 or more years younger!

I’ve recently changed my headshot – one I took of myself whilst on a shoot for a client. I’ve gotten quite good at a fake laugh or smile. What do you think?

I think the results came out great, have a look for yourself.
