How to Update Social Media Profiles with a new Headshot
So your headshot or business portrait session is all over, you've made your image selections, and you've downloaded your digital files. Now what? Well of course you're going to send the digital files over to your webmaster and graphic designer to get your marketing materials updated. But you also need to remember to update the profile pictures on your social media accounts. This is something that I see my clients forgetting to do all the time, but it's really easy and hardly takes any time at all.

Having said that, if you want your social media picture cropped differently than the image I have provided for you, please ask! I would be happy to do it for you to ensure that you have a highest quality headshot available that isn't distorted, blurry, or off-color.
