High End Realtor Headshots: The Difference With Hiring a Professional

Upon completion of your real estate course and certification, the task of creating your marketing plan is on the horizon. A professional business portrait of yourself should be a key element of your marketing plan. This is called “Self Branding.” You are now marketing yourself and services to your current and your desired audience. Why not seek a professional photographer to help create a portrait that depicts why people should trust you over someone else in a competitive market?

A professional business portrait can separate you from the masses. During your business portrait session as well as during image selection phase, careful attention is needed to analyze what this image ultimately conveys about you.

Unfortunately not all business portraits and business headshots are created equally.
Onsite “Cattle call sessions” are hit and miss and often times result in a negative experience. We have heard from our clients that have been through an experience of an onsite “cattle call” or the company just going with the cheapest person for the photography job, and the results of either is often times less than desirable. Save yourself time and patience and hire a professional photographer who specializes in portraiture. You have earned your credentials and now is the time to invest in yourself by demanding quality professional photography that speaks volumes about you.

Here are a few common amateur business pictures shortcomings, and what to look for:

• Harsh or flat lighting
• Improper posing, which can add weight to the person in the image
• Busy backgrounds that distract from the subject
• Clothing not adjusted
• Digital retouching is non-existent or overpowering

Executive portraiture can help you place a cutting edge on your services vs your competitor and ultimately determine who ends up getting the phone call. Your corporate image speaks volumes about you and your business. In a digital age where searching for services is occurring during all hours of the day, it is key to have your best image forward at all times. This theory applies to not only websites, but also social media apps such as LinkedIn, professional trade sites, and your marketing kit collateral.

A headshot is not just a headshot. It is your personal branding.

Every industry and corporate position has a unique look and persona for their business portrait. A prime example of this is that a trial attorney would not be photographed in the same manner as a marketing representative.

The Importance of a Great Headshot

Professional Houston Headshot Photographers

Regardless of the line of work you are in, if you are promoting yourself, a great headshot is a necessity. A professional headshot is a powerful tool for making people remember you. It is very much to your advantage to provide a headshot that people can identify with and remember you by. A professional business headshot is more than just a great photo taken by a friend with an I-Phone or a hobbyist type camera. If you are using your headshot for business applications, then hire a professional photographer to capture and create a professional business headshot for you.

There are many careers that can benefit from a polished, professional headshot. Doctors, lawyers, corporate executives, realtors, oil and gas professionals, financial investors and news anchors almost always require a professional headshot.

If your clients or customers see you, then a professional headshot will help plant your face more firmly in their mind. Of course, it is important that the headshot is of the highest quality. Anyone can post a picture of themselves on an online bio page, but if it does not convey the proper image, then it will not be a benefit in the long run. Creating a great headshot may seem simple, but like so many things, the little details matter.

Here’s the burning question: how do I find a great headshot photographer?
Thanks to the internet, finding a great headshot photographer is much easier than it used to be. You should be able to find a wide assortment of professional headshot photographers just by searching for “headshots” in your favorite search engine.

Be aware that due to the recent improvements and availability of inexpensive digital photography equipment, there are a lot more people offering photography services that are not really up to professional standards. Take your time and do your research!

There are many sites you can find that will list headshot photographers in your area, but the most important thing is to find someone whose work you like. Look at a variety of headshot portfolios until you’re satisfied. Also, ask other business associates or professionals for a referral and then look at that photographer’s online portfolio. After you have narrowed down to a few photographers to consider, the next step would be to contact the studio either by phone or email and see who is a good match for you.

Professional Realtor Portraits

With a competitive real estate market and an abundance of realtors on the playing field, individual realtors need to separate themselves from the masses. Digital image and brand marketing both play a major role in today’s online presentation. From visual design and imagery to website content and visual communication, all of these topics are critical factors to consider when evaluating your online presence.

The bar has been raised from “self taken or selfie” pictures to the expectation of having a polished professional business portrait for your profile picture. The real estate market is saturated with agents so you need to ask yourself: What makes you different when there are only a few seconds of a first impression encounter?

Visual communication is critical. Marketing yourself effectively and separating yourself from others can be a quick fix. If you seek and cater to high-end clients then you must present yourself in such a manner that reflects your target market. You must evaluate your online presence and your website and insure you have a polished professional real estate headshot. Some higher end real estate agents not only have an in studio business portrait, but also have us go on location to one of their higher end listings and have us photograph an environmental business portrait as well. By doing this, realtors have a portfolio of options of business portraits for their marketing campaigns. The real estate market has its own unique style of branding. Create a business image or a brand that reflects your personality.

Women Portraits in Houston

Houston area professionals are broadening their corporate image from traditional business headshots to casual headshots. Today’s corporate session typically consists of a traditional headshot, a casual headshot and ¾ standing portrait, with a variety of outfits pre-selected. Business leaders are requesting both portrait styles in order to connect with a larger audience. A professional business image for digital marketing is a key element when clients are searching for business services.

People conveying approachable personalities in their profile images are more likely to gain new business. The days of “selfies” and “cut outs” from family photos are a recipe for failure. If your desired audience has put forth the effort of professional portraits, your image should also reflect the same level of polished professionalism. Many executives update their executive portraits regularly and continue to come to us repeatedly for their photography needs.
