I need a photo for LinkedIn. Do I need to have a professional do it, or is it ok to just use my own camera?

Yes! have your portrait head shot done by a professional.  The quality will reflect that you take yourself and professional life seriously.  Selfies in the car or on vacation are deadly on LinkedIn.  Invest in a real head shot that speaks to who you are.  Average pricing is around $150.  Anything less is usually not good quality and not done by photographer that really understands promotions and how to bring out the best to your presentation. The first thing people on LinkedIn look at is your photo!  Make it a impression you are proud of and not one you will be trying to correct!!
