Your business is uniquely yours - your photos should be, too!

Prior to picking up the camera, I work with my clients to plan for images that showcase their personalities and the message they want to share. We cover poses, lighting, colors, and wardrobe.
After our session, my clients walk away with all the photos they love and that will allow them to help more people and make more money.

Could you use some fun and beautiful photos in your marketing? Let's schedule a call (http://lainetorres.com/booking) so you can tell me all about your business. 😘

💭One question I asked Ursula:👇🏽

📌What is one thing you can advise someone to do if they want to up-level their business?

Get clear on their numbers, first! This might sound super boring, and it’s the thing entrepreneurs want to spend the least amount of time on.

It’s not sexy, but it is the place to begin if you really want to up-level your business because you need to have a monthly stretch goal to focus on.

Then, you can work backwards from that number and figure out how to get there.

Most entrepreneurs begin where they are (revenue wise) and try to push forward 10% or 20% but it’s a slow process.

When you create a monthly stretch goal to 2x your sales, and you have no idea how to get there, you will begin to see the steps forward if you just write it down!

Companies that are hiring, growing, and focusing on developing their often invest in for their team.

The need for usually arises from a new website that's being built, an influx of new hires, a full-on , or simply getting new photos done because it's been a while.

I work with companies both large and small to come up with a signature style for their images. We do that through a phone consultation where we review the marketing goals for the images, the visual identity of the company, and the overall technical needs of the creative team responsible for putting the images to good use.

We discuss and decide things like poses, props, background, colors, outfits, and any other aspect that must be taken into consideration for the photos to be a success.

I handle most of the scheduling and communication so the office administrator simply has to forward my messages to the staff - it's simple, quick, and easy.

During the shoot, I plug my camera into my computer. This allows for the staff to see their photos right after, choose their top favorite shots, and feel at ease that we captured something they like.

I also allocate plenty of time for each person to feel seen and heard, allowing them to relax and trust me, which translates to genuine and friendly expressions in their photos.

Because the final images are chosen on the spot, they get edited quickly and delivered soon after as well (depending on how many employees were photographed, of course).

If more professionals join the company after the photos were taken, they can always come to my studio where I can recreate the same office look, or, if preferred, I can come back to the workplace and photograph there again.

The investment depends on the setups, number of people being photographed, number of images purchased, and what other services we may have to include, like hair and makeup, for example.

Overall, it's an investment that builds morale, updates and upgrades the company's online image, and positions its team as the professionals they are.

It’s hard to remember what the world was like prior to this digital ocean in which we daily swim.

With everything happening online, including scrutiny and major decision-making, it’s imperative you show up in searches looking your best.

Here are 3 major benefits of investing in high-quality headshots:

1️⃣ Stand out from the competition

Employers and clients are researching potential hires and service providers at this very moment. What do they see when they come across your profile?

To ensure you have an advantage over your competitors, use a current, flattering and suitable headshot.

2️⃣ Showcase your personality

If your photo has the same black suit and white background as the other 100’s of professionals in your field, you’re just another basic candidate.

Bring some of your personal flavor into your photos to create interest and communicate uniqueness.

This special sauce can be achieved through lighting, posing, wardrobe selection, colors, and, of course, expressions.

The best headshot photographers out there will address each and all of these opportunities during your session.

3️⃣ Show you’re worthy of investment

Your headshot is usually part of the first interaction that prospects have with you and all your talent.

If your photo does not communicate trustworthiness, expertise, and confidence, others will have a hard time believing your solutions and contributions are worthy of their time and money.

By investing in high-quality headshots, you show up with confidence and lead by example because you have invested in yourself first, so you are more than worthy of others doing the same.
