Whether you have a direct sales business, are a blogger, or work with non-profits, you can never go wrong presenting an image of professionalism.

I have on occasion been invited to guest write on other blogs.  Sometimes they request headshots to include with my bio.  At some point, I decided that cropping everyone else out of a current family picture wasn’t good enough.  It was time to bring in some professional help.
