    Standout Photos on Your Website

    Hiring a photographer can feel like an expensive commitment – and it is... because when you hire the right person they will bring out the true you, and give your website visitors the chance to actually connect with YOU. This episode comes directly from the studio where I had my first headshot session with a pro, someone who coached me through the process. I share lessons learned from this session and how I've come to understand the use of photography on a website when working with clients.
