Can Headshots Be Black and White?
This is a question that comes up on some occasions – can headshots be black and white? Some might argue it depends on what it’s for.

Is It time for New Business Headshots?
If you work for a company that has a website featuring a “Meet Our Team” or ‘About Us’ tab, you may be profiled with a photograph of yourself. If your company has a site but doesn’t have a “meet us” type of section, it may be a good idea to invest in one as well as new business headshots that go with it.
