Why a Professional Headshot is Essential for Small Businesses

As a photographer and a longtime member of BLANKSPACES coworking, I’m constantly reminded of how important a professional headshot can be, especially for small business owners. Whether you’re meeting potential clients, networking within your industry, or connecting with other professionals, a well-crafted headshot is often your first impression—it’s your chance to show your audience who you are.

The power of a headshot goes beyond just a good photo. It communicates credibility, personality, and professionalism in an instant. For small business owners, particularly those operating locally, a headshot isn’t just about looking good; it’s about establishing trust with a community that might rely on your services. I’ve seen firsthand how these photos can help people feel more connected, not only in their businesses but in the spaces they work from, like BLANKSPACES.

Recently, I had the pleasure of taking headshots for Jerome Chang, the founder of BLANKSPACES, at their new location in Venice. Jerome started BLANKSPACES 16 years ago to create a workspace for entrepreneurs and freelancers who crave community—a place where they can find support, friendship, and collaboration. It’s inspiring to watch how, like small business owners, BLANKSPACES has grown to serve people across the LA area.

If you’re looking for a new coworking space, I can’t recommend BLANKSPACES enough.  They have locations in Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City and Long Beach.

And when you’re ready to update your headshot, give me a call at 323-493-2552.  I’ll meet you at any one of the BLANKSPACES locations or anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area.
