New Professional Portraits | 2022 Self-Portrait Study

I took my own advice and updated my new professional portraits to reflect who I am now. This was also part of my Self-Portrait project this year.

So what is the best time frame for getting new headshots? I do outline this in another post here if you are interested. It can depend but should ultimately reflect who you are now. Maybe you have updated your style and wardrobe, or hairstyle even. Good reason to get those headshots updated. For me, it was the personal and business growth that came with being in my own studio space and I wanted to have an image of myself in the style I would create for my clients.

With the new studio came new gear and equipment. One of those things is a handpainted canvas background from Fine Art Backdrops. I love the subtle texture and tone variation and use it in almost all of my sessions. Working with a light setup that I have fallen in love with as well.

Having professional portraits of yourself you are proud of can really change how you feel about yourself and your work. That last image may not be a good example but I do see a different person in these images. More confidence and maturity in my craft. This is the ultimate goal with anyone in front of my camera; including myself.
