Hi Sarah --

Thanks for your comments. And thanks for highlighting the studio portrait option!

I think many lawyers, and I include myself in this category, tend to view the world in text rather than images so we discount the power of photos. But you really need both -- professional images and well-written text -- to have the maximum impact when it comes to legal marketing.

Thank you for this terrific article! Looking through local publications, it is very easy for me to spot who is and who isn't using a professional photographer for their photos. Given that this is the first impression made to clients, I find it surprising when professionals publish "point and shoot" shots of themselves.

I like the way you identified the styles though I would add to that studio portraits as well. Studio portraits are generally more formal, but depending on the background and pose - it can look more candid or relaxed.
