How Often Should You Update Your Headshot?
It’s easy to forget, but if you want to stay relevant, you need to update your headshot regularly.
Your headshot is often the first impression you make. It’s on your website, LinkedIn, speaking pages, and email signature. If it no longer reflects who you are now, it’s time for a refresh.
Here’s how to know when it’s time—and why it matters.
Your Headshot Should Reflect Your Current Brand
You’ve evolved. So should your photos.
You may need to update your headshot if:
You’ve changed your hairstyle, glasses, or style
Your current photo is over 2 years old
You’ve rebranded your business or website
You’ve shifted roles, industries, or specialties
You want to appear more approachable or confident
Clients want to work with the person they see. Let them meet the real you.
Signs It’s Time to Update Your Headshot
Not sure if your photo needs a refresh? Ask yourself these questions:
Do I still look like this photo every day?
Is this the image I want to lead with?
Does it match the tone of my brand?
Am I proud to share it on LinkedIn or my website?
If you hesitated on any of these, it’s time to update your headshot.
How Often Should You Update Your Headshot?
As a general rule: every 1–2 years.
You should also book a session when:
You hit a major career milestone
You launch a new brand or product
You want to show up more confidently online
You’re booking more speaking, podcast, or press opportunities
Staying visually current shows you take your business seriously.
