Having the right equipment is essential. If you choose an amateur photographer rather than a professional - it will show.
A professional will have the right shooting equipment... the proper lighting, backdrops, camera and lenses. Also, ask questions - what background looks best, what should I do with my hands? Do I have to pose? And can I change my outfit? Asking questions will help you choose the best professional photographer.
Having a professional at your service will lead to exceptional results. It is common for people to struggle or feel uncomfortable when having their headshot done. Choosing a professional to work with will lessen the struggle as the photographer will be helping you along the way.

Professional headshots are unique because they allow you to show off who you really are in the frame - allowing people to get to know more about you before even speaking to them.
Having your headshot done well is so important - the way people see you will help build trust and credibility. People respond positively when they see a face to go with a name, so having a friendly, well-composed portrait of yourself can help create an instant connection with potential clients or employers.
