When: Thursday // Weather: 40s // Real life: work
I’ve had my firm headshots taken 3 times in the 3 years I’ve been a lawyer. They’ve all been fine…you know, I dress more conservatively than usual, make sure my hair is neat, I go to a makeshift studio with fancy lighting, and the photographer has me rotate my torso one way while turning my head the other way, chin down, down a little more, tilt my head 3.8 degrees, flash flash, done.
But if I had my way, my professional headshot would look more like these photos. Wearing floral, looking a little bit sassy, out on the circle, coffee in hand. I mean, don’t these make you want to hire me to register your trademark and then take you shopping?! New career goal: start my own IP firm that also offers personal styling services. Oh, and it will be above a bar, Ally McBeal-style.

I love this dress! You should have worn it on headshot day, conservatory be damned!
Also, I’ve been rewatching Ally McBeal and I’m astonished at how few cases she actually takes on, and the ones she does, she’s like second chair only… leaves me wondering, what does she actually do at work other than have deep conversations in the bathroom?

Haha yes, and conveniently, every case goes to trial within 2 days.
