Actually it's the same with glasses. All my pictures are without my glasses, which is how I am when I'm not working, but when people meet me for the first time in business, I'm usually wearing them and they don't recognize me. Thanks Marlene! You'll have to tell me about Locks of Love. Yeah changing the hairstyle should probably make the list because it can so dramatically change how you look.

I have been using amateur shots that don't break any of your rules...although the fact that I did a Locks of Love hair donation means they are out of date. I think it's time for me to shape up when it comes to photos, so thanks for the link to Donna, too! Jamie – I am totally guilty of neglecting this area and your post is a great kick in the butt.

But that's just me - it depends on what image a person is trying to portray to their potential customers. Maybe it's old school, but if the first photo I see of a business contact is unprofessional, I find it hard to take seriously. Each to their own.

A lot of who we are and how we are perceived is defined by how we act in social settings, and in some cases (not all) where this can be perceived as positive representation of us it can beneficial for us to demonstrate this human side of us not only to friends and family, but to colleagues, clients, employers and potential employers too. I believe 'no photos in social settings of any sort' is too vague of a guideline for inappropriate profile pictures.
