The Old Name, the New Picture

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum Medford 941000194

Well, it was time to go back to my maiden name due to life changes, namely divorce.  So consequently, I need to order new business cards.  Not a big deal until I realized, it is about time to get a new picture.  There should be a rule that no more than 10 years can pass before you MUST order a new picture.  It has not been 10 years, but it is pretty darn close to being that long.

The thing about photos of yourself is you can get used to them and no longer freak out when you see them.  You eventually adjust to looking at yourself at the current age, but then you do get older and the picture does not.  But, like I said it was time....

So I have a really great photographer who takes photos and I had her take them.  Here it is, My new photo, wrinkles and all.

So true!!!  I will meet an agent and when they introduce themselves, I want to say, REALLY??  Their pictures are from two decades before.

It's really hard for me to get new pictures because I usually think I look awful in all of them - LOL.  But you are so right that it should be mandatory to do it often enough that we don't have that embarrassing moment when someone looks at the picture on your card, looks up at you, looks back at your card - and looks very, very puzzled.  By the way - your new picture is great!!

Ok, that explains it Krista!  But... I must say, all your pics are absolutely stunning and true to how you really look!  You're a beautiful lady, inside and out!  Now, go rock your new world, baby!

You haven't changed or aged a bit since your other photo was taken! Do I get any points for being a suck up???

Temptress!  Who took your pic?  Perhaps I should commission him/her!
