A quote from Google Juice:
You are going to be setting up a bunch of different accounts in the next couple chapters and you’ll need a few things on hand. You already have your GMAIL account so use this as your email to keep everything under the same email account. You will also need a good profile picture of yourself. Honestly, get a professional photo done. There is nothing worse than the obvious fact that you cropped your face from a group picture taken at your cousin’s wedding two years ago. You also need to avoid the creepy badly lit webcam image.
It only costs a few hundred dollars to hire a professional photographer to meet you at a location and get a few nice photos. Take some shots in your office, home, or around your city. Dress nice and look professional. Don’t have a few hundred? Call that friend with the nice camera to help you. Technology has made it so easy these days for anyone to take some pretty decent headshots. However, if you want to look your best, try and hire a professional. Need help finding one, put an ad on Craigslist. Be sure you let your photographer know that you need jpeg images for use as profile pictures on social networks for business purposes.
The other choice you have for a profile photo is to use your logo. There is debate back and forth about which is better to use on services like Twitter. If this is your sole business, use your own image. However, if you own a number of businesses, you may want to consider using a logo for the Twitter accounts and other accounts that we’ll discuss later. For Facebook and LinkedIn use your headshot.
