The DC Influence

It’s Wednesday, let’s see what’s working 👀

This week for our , we are getting into the nitty gritty of headshots, and more specifically, why creative headshots are making a difference.

As natural creatives, our community is rooted in self-expression as branding. So why not have your personal brand’s first impression show just that?

Take for example the lovely of sporting her merch, an authentic smile, and showing her charismatic character all in one shot. We can see her bright personality immediately shine through and of course, we’re already thinking we need one of those sweatshirts!

Our second example is our fearless leader of The DC Influence, Meg. Known mainly for being behind the camera, she got up and out to showcase The DC Influence in the recent edition of . We can see her bright smile and camera in hand ready to create content around the Washington, DC area.

The life can be hard at times, and isolating at others. We totally get it, and we see you.

That’s why for this week’s What Works Wednesday, we’re talking about the importance of finding and building community within your influencer network.

It pays to know the right people, especially those who also have foodie lights, want the best angles, & have the “everything is content” mentality.

You’re on your own journey, but that doesn’t mean you have to be alone. At The DC Influence, we host monthly creator events designed to connect you with other creators, collaborate versus compete, and create something meaningful.

We hope to see you at our next event and we are so honored to have you in our community 🪩
