Candid photo versus professional photo

So I've been rocking an, according to my wife, lovely photo that describes my overall self. I certainly wouldn't call it professional, but it does stand out considering my past roles and achievements.

I have recently been seeking out upper echelon roles and I feel this candid photo might not be adequate.

How much of a difference does this kind of thing really make when I have a fairly bulletproof resume?
