Not all headshots are created equal. A selfie in good lighting may be fine for casual platforms, but your LinkedIn photo should feel elevated, intentional, and approachable. Here’s what a professional headshot should include:

✅ Clear Focus & Framing

Your face should take up about 60% of the frame, with your eyes at the top third of the image.

✅ Natural Lighting

At Kaycee Studio, we use soft, natural light in our Midlothian studio to create flattering, timeless images.

✅ Clean Background

Distractions pull the viewer away from your face. Light, minimal backdrops help keep the focus on you.

✅ On-Brand Styling

What you wear should reflect your industry, personality, and goals. Whether that's a blazer, casual button-down, or creative flair — your look should feel authentic.

✅ Genuine Expression

You don’t have to smile with teeth, but you should look friendly, confident, and relaxed. A good photographer will guide you to the right expression.

Local Focus: Why Headshots Matter in Midlothian, Mansfield, and Waxahachie

These communities are home to professionals who are either advancing their careers locally or commuting to larger markets like Dallas and Fort Worth. Standing out in such a hybrid digital/local economy means your online presence needs to reflect your real-world professionalism.

In smaller cities like Waxahachie and Midlothian, word of mouth is significant, but online first impressions often take precedence. Whether you're:

• Applying for leadership roles
• Networking with local business groups
• Launching a business
• Seeking freelance clients

...your profile photo can open doors or close them.

A modern, elevated headshot shows that you’ve invested in your career and take yourself seriously — and others should too.
