If your current headshot has you nervously muttering “It still kind of looks like me,” this post is for you.
Let’s rip the Band-Aid off: headshots don’t last forever. Even the most perfect, well-lit portrait has an expiration date. Whether you're an actor, entrepreneur, executive—or all three before lunch—your look, brand, and confidence evolve. And your headshot should evolve with it.
Most professionals should update their headshot every 1–3 years. If your hair, weight, age, or aesthetic has changed significantly (hello, pandemic-era transformations), it might be time sooner.
Remember: if a casting director or client wouldn’t recognize you from your photo, it’s doing more harm than good.
This isn’t just about your hairline or the fact that you finally got those veneers. A current headshot reflects your professional evolution. Maybe you’ve taken on new leadership roles. Maybe you’ve shifted from buttoned-up to bold-and-modern branding. Maybe you just finally found your light.
Your image should reflect not just what you look like—but how you carry yourself now.
If you're still using the same image from back when “Game of Thrones” was still airing… it’s time. I work with so many clients who come in saying, “It’s just been a while.” And honestly? No judgment. But there’s a real confidence shift that happens when you see yourself now—looking sharp, present, and professional.
If you’re searching for professional headshots in Los Angeles or need new actor headshots that match your current type, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for.
