Here are a few guidelines for when you should and should not wear your glasses during a business headshot portrait session.
Is Your Headshot up to Date on Google+
Google+ is the next great frontier in social media (and in search engine optimization, but we'll have to leave that for another day) and if you aren't using it then you risk being left behind in the online world. And the unwritten rules of the game are the same on Google+ as they are on Facebook and LinkedIn... You have only a few seconds to impress and wow your potential prospects and business associates.

Carolyn O'Reilly | Better Business Portrait Do You Show Your Face on your Business Card? A new client came into my Calgary portrait studio last week to have a new business portrait made. She needed an updated headshot for her social media accounts (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) and has also recently decided to include her picture on her business cards. I find this to be a very common practice among Real Estate agents, Mortgage Brokers, and other direct sales professionals, but quite rare in the majority of other business people. I'm always curious to know how my clients make their decision whether to use their picture on their cards or not. If you have your picture on your card, please feel free to leave a brief comment explaining why. If you don't have a headshot on your card, tell us why not?? Here is a link to a great article from Entrepreneur.com discussing creating a great business card: Creating a Great Business Card | Entrepreneur.com Having your face on your card - whether it's a photograph, a drawing or a caricature - helps a contact remember you the next time he or she sees you.

A splash of color (rather than just black and white) is often helpful on a picture card, too.
