Get your Professional Headshot Taken

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

FYI: Reserved spaces are filled, however, there might still be an opportunity at the event in the event that someone cancels or does not show up.

Every professional needs a good—make that great—headshot. Often times, people are afraid to have their picture taken, or they are worried that they can't afford it. This typically results in no headshot, or worse, a headshot that is poorly lighted and unprofessional.  When you get the call to appear as a guest blogger, or to speak at a conference, you'll be glad you took the time to get your headshot taken.

Publishers & Writers of San Diego has arranged for a professional photographer to come in and offer affordable headshots to its members at the next PWSD meeting.  You won't want to miss this fantastic opportunity!

WHO:  Chad Thompson, of Chad Thompson Photography, will bring lighting and gear to capture individual headshots.  Each sitting will last approximately 15 - 25 minutes.

WHEN:  Saturday, July 28, 2012 from 9:30 to Noon.

COST: $35 (cash, check, or credit cards accepted on site).

GET PREPARED:

Wear something flattering, solid colors are best for photographs—busy prints and stripes can be very distracting on film.

Ladies: bring extra make-up to touch-up right before your shoot.
