Get a professional residency headshot that meets ERAS requirements and reflects your confidence. Serving medical students across DC, MD, and VA
"Professional Residency Headshots That Make the Right Impression!"
Your ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) headshot is often the first visual impression residency programs have of you.
Before anyone reads your personal statement or reviews your grades, they see your photo.
A clean, professional residency headshot communicates confidence, attention to detail, and readiness to join a medical team - immediately.
I specialize in ERAS-compliant medical residency headshots in Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, guiding you through expression, posture, and presentation so your image looks natural, confident, and polished.
Every photo is carefully formatted to meet official ERAS requirements, so you can submit your application without technical stress or last-minute resizing.
Your medical career begins with a strong first impression. Let’s make sure yours reflects your professionalism.
Medical residency headshots are not personal branding sessions.
They require:
Strict formatting guidelines
Specific background standards
Controlled, professional expression
Clean, distraction-free presentation
Unlike traditional business headshots, ERAS photos must meet exact sizing and file requirements. Your expression must feel confident and approachable — but never casual.
That’s why working with a photographer who understands residency applications matters.
This session is designed specifically for medical students applying through ERAS, ensuring your photo is polished, professional, and fully compliant.
Your final images will meet the official ERAS guidelines, including:
Dimensions: 2.5 x 3.5 inches
Resolution: 150 DPI
File Size: Within ERAS limits
Format: JPEG
Background: Plain, light-colored (white or light gray)
You don’t need to worry about resizing, formatting, or technical specs — that’s all taken care of.
You don’t need modeling experience.
You don’t need to “know your angles.”
You’ll be guided step by step.
Conservative, professional attire works best.
Suits, blazers, and solid neutral colors photograph cleanly and timelessly.
White coats, bold patterns, and statement accessories are not recommended for ERAS submissions.
Neat, natural grooming helps your expression stay the focus.
Minimal makeup and tidy hair create a professional, polished look.
We’ll aim for a calm, confident, and approachable presence — professional without feeling stiff.
I’ll coach you in real time so your expression feels natural.
