As much as I like using photos of me with my dog, Charlie, they're not really appropriate for business.
We all know that with so much online networking -- LinkedIn, Facebook and more coming -- a good professional portrait is a must-have marketing tool these days. Is yours showing you in the best light?
If not, check out photographer, Michael Robinson's Business Portrait Day in New York City on October 28.

Hey Illise, that's a good question. As much as I hate to have my own mug out there, I am doing it more and more. And it is interesting what biz people are putting up as their "so called" business portraits. I think these days people want to see your personality come through on your "business portrait". So you have to find that balance between looking professional, but not too formal.
I hired a photographer to do some shots of me in a coffee shop below my office. I have heard good feedback from clients and colleagues (am I blushing?) that say it's professional, yet I am approachable...more being myself and not too formal.
So I'm hoping it's doing the job it should be.

Those pics are great, Bob. And my favorite is with the coffee cup.
