Your current headshot is either selling for you, or silently costing you five and six-figure opportunities.

If you’re a founder, executive, keynote speaker, or rising thought-leader, you can’t afford to look average online. Your face is your digital handshake, and right now:
	•	❌ A five-year-old selfie is undercutting your authority.
	•	❌ Inconsistent visuals are confusing investors, event planners, and recruiters.
	•	❌ A stiff, “school-picture-day” portrait is making you seem unapproachable.

⸻

The Problem I Solve

Most high-achievers know their work speaks volumes, but their image whispers the wrong story. They need a headshot that conveys confidence, credibility, and genuine connection in under one second.

⸻

The Top-Tier Solution

I combine expression coaching, cinematic lighting, and brand strategy to create photographs that shout: “This is the leader you’ve been looking for.”
	•	Guided Confidence – I coach you into natural, powerful expressions, even if cameras make you panic.
	•	Brand Alignment – Every frame is mapped to your speaking topics, values, and target audience.
	•	Luxury Experience – From wardrobe prep to same-day image selection, you’ll feel like you’re on a VIP set, not in a photo mill.

⸻

Proof That It Works
	•	A recently laid-off client landed her dream job within weeks—her new headshot was the first thing the hiring board mentioned.
	•	One author’s portrait became her book cover, driving sold-out speaking engagements and a spike in sales.
	•	60% of my new business comes from inbound referrals, because powerful images travel fast.

How it started vs. How it’s going:

Started 5 years ago with:

👉 headshot sessions in my living room
👉 $50 revenue the first month
👉 2 connections on LinkedIn
👉 no one in the business community knows who I am
👉 zero Google reviews

Vs. Now:

👍 Blessed to be in an incredible studio space
👍 Incredible network
👍 15,000+ LinkedIn followers
👍 Getting closer to 10Xing previous career’s income in business revenue
👍 330+ 5 Star Google reviews

There is still SO much to learn and personal/business growth to pursue. But looking back, there are SO many reasons to pause and give thanks 🙏 

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the journey!

When she saw my last "before & after", Mari Delgado, CFP® reached out and said "you have to do mine next!"

It's not just about giving someone a new headshot. It's about showcasing the industry experts they are. They're at the top of their game. And I want to help them look like it.

Thanks, Mari!

I’m so proud of her. She went from almost crippling shyness a couple of years ago to owning the stage. And she’s doing it not because we forced her to, but because she has a passion for it. And she’s already talking with her best friend about doing it together again next year.

No lesson today, just thankful for her and proud of her!

Hey ATLANTA! I'm coming to you! 

I'm doing a ONE DAY ONLY headshot popup in Atlanta on December 18th. Spots are limited and it's first come, first serve.

Know anyone that needs an impactful headshot?

Comment "GO" and I'll DM you the details!

On-location branding shoot in Boca today! By the time we’re done, this client is gonna be ready for FORBES, social media, website and newsletter content, etc. 

Sky is the limit!

Super happy with how these shots turned out!

Can you tell I was excited to have Rich Rogers in my studio???

He and Romi Wallach have been the biggest business development influences in my life and biz, whether they know it or not. But I hope posts like this express at least a fraction of my appreciation.

Thanks for coming in, Rich!

In case anyone was wondering how the photos of my friend’s Porsche turned out… 😁

The SPARK shoot is becoming a yearly tradition.

Here’s what you won’t find happening here:

❌ school picture day vibes
❌ cookie cutter ideas
❌ trying to do what everyone else is doing

Here’s what you WILL find:

✅ trailblazing ideas
✅ meaningful collaboration 
✅ brand elevation
✅ prepping thought leaders to step onto the stage and share real stories/value/inspiration

Last year’s event was such a bold move and overwhelming success.

We can’t WAIT for you to experience 2.0

With Dopazo & Associates Insurance, it’s not just about business. It’s about family.

That’s one of the biggest takeaways I got from working with them.

Alexander Dopazo didn’t just want individual shots of everyone. He wanted shots that show the family legacy of this business, and the relationships that make it tick.

Thankful for you, brother!

This is a very special shoutout today. My good friend Matthew Waggoner, an extremely experienced Physical Therapist, is launching his own business, Reinvention One. 

His goal is to help Athletes and Executives go from pain to performance. Instead of just working with clients until the pain is gone, Matthew provides a full transformational approach, helping people to achieve their highest performance possible, whether on the field or in the boardroom. 

I have PERSONAL experience with his expertise. I was experiencing pain in my shoulder during bench pressing earlier this year. Matt diagnosed the problem and worked with me on developing a personalized workout plan that strengthened muscle groups I didn't even know to target. Within 2 weeks, the pain was completely gone!

I'm going to do another post later on because I was much more involved with this launch than just the photography. But this post is just to let you know that he is open for business and already helping folks hit their peak performance!

DM me and I'll connect you with him!

Thankful for SO many things today, but right now I’m thankful for my second Bronco of the year…..though this one is a bit smaller 😁

I'm always SO honored that people don't just come to me for headshots. They come as part of a big step in their journey. And they see this as something helping them get to the destination. Which is exactly how I want to help people. Couldn't be more grateful!

As I continue to reintroduce myself and strengthen my brand as a financial professional, being intentional about my growth and the networks I build has become a priority. Working with Daniel Wakefield was a major step in that journey.

Daniel Wakefield  is not just a photographer, he is a First Impression Architect who truly understands how a professional image influences opportunity. He took the time to learn who I am, what I’m building, and how I want to show up in my industry. His ability to capture confidence, clarity, and authenticity in a single shot is unmatched.

The entire experience felt aligned with my personal and professional evolution. If you’re elevating your brand, expanding your network, or stepping into new doors, Daniel Wakefield is the person who helps your image reflect your potential. His work is transformative and undeniably top-tier.

I’ve never done this before.

I’ve been intentional about not building a business on a foundation of cheapness, discounts, etc. I seek to give my clients my all, and bring the value to make every penny worth it.

So this is more of a way to say “thank you” to my clients and community.

Anyone who books an Express Session for November 28th can bring a friend/colleague/spouse/business partner and gift them a headshot…..FOR FREE.

ALSO, we got a little funny with this one……just wait until halfway through to see my “home shopping network” presentation 🤣

A client of mine just sent me this DM:

"Reading your book, used some of the ideas, came up with my most recent LinkedIn post on thankfulness for my 'on mission' family. It has seriously taken off, not sure exactly why. It's not terribly different than a lot of other posts I've written, but I've gone from 100-500 "impressions" and single digit interactions to well over 5000 impressions, 100 profile views, 20 new followers, and a slew of PM's and new connections. 

Trying to figure out if it's the elbow in the curve of steady posting and working the LinkedIn Platform, or if it is something specific about the post that got things going. Would like to duplicate the success and build, appreciate any perspectives that you have. I imagine the primary factor is a really nice head shot ;)"

Here's the essence of my response:

1) Having a more pro headshot definitely makes your profile more noticeable and helps you look more like an expert in your industry and less like a high school yearbook.

2) His recent post that blew up is more relatable to a broader audience of people. He's an incredible doctor, but the majority of his previous posts were so industry focused that it probably didn't connect well with his audience. 

3) This post has a great "hook" to draw people in and encourage them to click the "see more" button in the caption.

4) The "meat" of the post is a great behind the scenes look at his family life, his unique take on "work-life balance", and how the whole family participates in the "mission." Really cool stuff.

5) He ended the post with a great call to action by asking people to share their experience with this topic, and it resulted in a bunch of engagement.

This is what I LOVE to see from readers of my book. It's not just a bunch of theory. It's a practical guide for people/business owners trying to build an impactful brand.

Learn the principles. And then go and DO.

P.S. If you had a post "blow up" in the last year, what do you think caused it?

Did you hear about the Black Friday SPECIAL?

Only THREE spots left for this Friday’s Express Session Day, and there are two important things to know about it:

1️⃣ The special is that if you book an Express Session for this Friday, you can bring a friend and gift them a headshot FOR FREE!

2️⃣ This Friday is the LAST Express Day of the year!

Who’s in?

Amazing time at IVOLVE + THRIVE get together last night! 

Got to reconnect with Jenny Armenteros….did you know she offers VIRTUAL notary services??? I didn’t even know that was a thing. She helps law firms and other professionals by providing a quality service that’s more efficient with their time. Really cool stuff!

Thanks again to John Zentgraf, Josh Blum, and Dr. Andre Caruso for building such a wonderful community!

Every single time I work with this guy, I leave energized. Hayden Casson and I have been friends since our first session together back in 2021. And a lot has changed since then.

When I found out he was getting into speaking, I was intrigued.

When I found out he was doing it to help shed light on mental health challenges and to help save lives, I was inspired.

He’s already out there doing keynotes. So we spent the morning helping him get a portfolio that shows him to be the expert (and more importantly, the helper) that he already is.

I cannot wait to share what we created together!

Give yourself the gift of business ACCELERATION. Grab the E-book for less than the price of a coffee (Black Friday through Cyber Monday).

What are people saying about Accelerate?

"What really stands out is how transparent and tactical it is. Daniel walks you through the exact steps he used to go from high school teacher to building a multi-six-figure headshot business in a year—no gatekeeping, no fluff. Just real talk and real results."

"As someone who recently stepped away from a steady corporate role to build my own business, Accelerate by Daniel Wakefield hit home in all the right ways."

"This book plants the seed, gives the little nudges that you need, and guides you with truly tested methods as to what you can do to ACCELERATE your business growth."

"Even though I haven’t finished the whole book yet, I’m already highlighting like crazy and reworking parts of my business. Daniel Wakefield brings his background as a science teacher into this book in the best way—he breaks down complex strategies into simple, actionable steps that actually make sense."

P.S. If you grab the e-book, DM me and I'll give you a signed paperback for FREE. All you have to do is drop by the studio to grab it (WHILE SUPPLIES LAST)

Sometimes you’ve got to do what it takes. 
For me it was disappearing into the middle of nowhere for two days.

Away from the office. Away from the routine. Away from the noise. 

Me, a hotel, flipcharts, and all of the coffee. 

Why?
Not because I enjoy being somewhere so remote the only walkable food option is a Cracker Barrel.
(Absolutely not.) 

I did it to work on my goals and plan for next year. 
Because solitude is what it takes for me to get the clarity I need. 

And you have to get clarity right if you want to hit big goals. 
Clarity on the goals.
Clarity on the direction.
Clarity on the strategy. 

Of course that’s only if you want to do something really well. 
The recipe for mediocrity is much looser. 

But clarity doesn’t happen by accident. 
As Nick Saban said, "It takes what it takes." 

Unless you want your business to stay as-is, you need to be extra clear on:
- What needs to change 
- What needs to stop 
- What needs to start 
- And how you need to evolve in to lead the next stage 

For me, disappearing for two days is part of my process. 
And I’ll probably be taking two more. 

Because the business isn’t going to grow until the leader is clear. 

And the leader needs to understand this: getting clear is your job. 

If you don’t have a process for getting clarity, you’re defaulting to momentum. 

You know that’s not the way. 

The way is to be intentional about getting clear on your business direction, goals, and strategy. 

It might be difficult. 
But it’s that important. 
You have to do what it takes.

Founder Redesigned.Business⚡Guiding Expert Founders out of the Messy Middle⚡4x Inc5k⚡20+ Yr CEO/Founder⚡Host The Business Owner’s Journey Podcast

Entrepreneur Nick Berry standing outside during an annual planning retreat.

Most business owners think the hard part is getting off the ground.
‘Fraid not. New pain starts after you get traction.
Welcome to the messy middle, aka business purgatory.

The messy middle is the stage where your business is successful enough to be chaotic, but not designed well-enough to run without you.
It’s the point where:
🔸 The founder can’t personally keep all the plates spinning anymore.
🔸 Growth creates friction instead of freedom.
🔸 What used to work… doesn’t.
🔸 Activity seems busy but not aligned.
🔸 Decisions feel reactive, not strategic.
🔸 Revenue depends too much on your production
🔸 The business is bigger than your old model, but not yet big enough for your next one.

You’re stuck between “it works” and “it works without you.”

That’s the messy middle.

Now - there is the good news:
You don’t escape the messy middle by grinding harder or trying to outrun mistakes.
You escape it by evolving. 

What does that look like?
🔹 You learn how to lead without building yourself into the bottleneck 
🔹 You implement a true strategy: clear model, clear direction, clear priorities.
🔹 You get the business out of your head and into a system everyone can run.
🔹 You build actual infrastructure so the business isn’t held together with duct tape.
🔹 You stop producing the results directly and start producing them through others.

The solution is to create new leverage.
That’s how you get out of the messy middle.
You’ve got to create new leverage. 
 

PS.
You don’t fix the messy middle all at once. You solve the right problems in the right order. And once you do, momentum comes back fast. It’ll be faster than you remember, and it’s compounding. 

PPS. The Golden Thread weekly newsletter lands tomorrow (Wed)! 
Find it in my Featured section ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eVvrXbhb

A parody movie poster titled “The Messy Middle,” showing a chaotic office filled with flying papers, a trash can on fire, a worker spraying a fire extinguisher, and another employee standing on a desk. In the center stands a silhouetted figure in business attire with a dashed outline and the words “YOUR FACE HERE” where the head should be. The scene is bright, photorealistic, and exaggerated to portray business chaos.

Most people think their outcomes are shaped by what happens to them.

In reality, that part is maybe 1%.

The other 99%?
About 49.5% is how you handle that 1%.
And the other 49.5% is how long you stay in your own way.

We all do it.
Avoiding it isn’t the game.
Mitigating it is.

Do it less often.
Recover faster.
Your trajectory changes.

Let's be honest... it's kind of tough to blame the universe when 99% of the outcome is ours to shape.
