It’s one thing to have a great headshot.
It’s another thing to make sure the right people can actually find and use it.
Event planners, journalists, and podcast hosts don’t have time to chase you down for a photo.
If they have to scroll your Instagram, screenshot your LinkedIn, or email you three times to get a proper headshot…
That’s an unnecessary obstacle between you and your next opportunity.
Here’s the fix:
Have a professional, downloadable headshot linked right on your press page or in your press kit.
No passwords.
No Google Drive requests.
No blurry screenshots.
Just a clean, high-res image they can grab and drop into their article, flyer, or promo post.
This is my favorite headshot that I use on all my social media accounts that I want the media to easily connect to me:

PS: Use the same headshot across your social platforms and press kit.
That consistency makes you instantly recognizable when media is vetting you across the web.
Don’t underestimate how powerful that visual recognition can be.
