This is especially true for service providers… and it’s not quite as easy as those with a product-based operation. ![Virginia Simmons-3764](https://maggietakespix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Virginia%20Simmons-3764.jpg?width=1365&height=2048&name=Virginia%20Simmons-3764.jpg) **More than Headshots: Personal Branding** Authentically show your story, what you offer, and why. Show what it’s like to work with you. Share parts of your process. Let them peek behind the curtain. Give them some insight into who you are. Become someone your clients know, like, and trust… and they’ll want to connect and do business with you. ![offset photos space for text](https://maggietakespix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/offset%20photos%20space%20for%20text.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=offset%20photos%20space%20for%20text.jpg) ![show process](https://maggietakespix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/show%20process.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=show%20process.jpg) ![work with clients](https://maggietakespix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/work%20with%20clients.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=work%20with%20clients.jpg) ![get personal](https://maggietakespix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/get%20personal.jpg?width=900&height=600&name=get%20personal.jpg) How much *better *would this be with professional, personal visual content?
