My October 2018 update your profile challenge....

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams of Central PA RS334568


In response to Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, October 2018 Active Rain Challenge, I have updated my profile photo.


My original profile photo (posted here) was taken by a professional photographer in June of 2016. 

It has been the photo that has been utilized in the majority of my marketing material and has helped to create immediate recognition. 

I love when when I am out, and about, and someone walks up to me out of the blue to say, "Hey, I recognize you.  You're in real estate, right?"







 

This photo was was captured recently with my phone camera.  It was taken while I was seated at my desk in my office.  My office has windows on three sides so I love the saturation of sun that pours in.

I agree with Paul Henderson that the photos we use, whether we are marketing a property or sharing a photo of our-self, should be a true reflection since the primary purpose is so others can recognize us.

Hello Maria Sapio, I am with Kat,  I like both.  My picture is about a year old and I think I broker the last camera.

Both photos are wonderful Maria Sapio .  My problem with photos...I change my hair daily (up, down, curly, straight) that on no one day will I look like the photo someone may have!  LOL

Hi Maria Sapio, both photos are very nice. I'm with Lisa Von Domek,  my hair is always different, sometimes by choice, other times due to humidity.

Both photos are great photos Maria Sapio ... I do not take selfies so I will need to get creative with this challenge.

Morning Maria.

I thought there would be a change, other than the hair color I didn't see anything different

I like the choice you made in updating your profile photo, professional photos are nice, but allowing people to see a more natural (seemingly, since pro photos are staged) us is a great way to go, in my opinion!

Good morning Maria Sapio,

I like both photos but I like the second one as it's more relaxed and casual How is it you look younger in your second photo??? Just saying...

As I said before, the new one shows your warmth and approachability...not to mention, you're drop-dead gorgeous, Maria!

Isn't it funny how sometimes those candid (or selfie) shots are even better than the professional's shots? 

Happy Saturday and thanks for participating in the challenge as well!

Well, you know, people could walk up to you and say, "Hey I recognize you. Are you an actress or a model?", because you are THAT gorgeous. :-)

Seriously, either photo truly reflects who you are and you have a wonderful, welcoming smile.
