How on earth do you do this? Well of course you need some killer headshots, but also- creating images that give your clients a peek into your personal life can honestly be a game changer in your visual strategy. This can be as simple as showing your work-from-home setup, to you enjoying time at your favorite beach, or indulging in a hobby.
