"Professional Residency Headshots That Make the Right Impression!" 

Professional. Approachable. Residency-Ready.

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.

🔍 Why ERAS Headshots Are Different from Regular Headshots

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.

What to Expect During Your Residency Headshot Session

You don’t need modeling experience.
You don’t need to “know your angles.”

You’ll be guided step by step.

What to Wear

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.

Grooming & Presentation

Neat, natural grooming helps your expression stay the focus.
Minimal makeup and tidy hair create a professional, polished look.

Expression Coaching

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About ERAS Residency Headshots

Can I wear my white coat in my ERAS headshot?

No. ERAS guidelines recommend professional attire without lab coats. A suit jacket, blazer, or professional top in a neutral color works best. The focus should be on you, not your clothing.

How quickly will I receive my final images?

Your fully retouched, ERAS-ready images are delivered digitally and formatted to meet official submission requirements. If you’re working on a deadline, let me know — I understand residency timelines.

What if I need a specific crop or file adjustment?

Your images are delivered in ERAS-compliant format. If your school or advisor requests a minor adjustment, I’m happy to help ensure everything is formatted correctly.

Do you offer rush appointments?

Yes - depending on availability. If you’re close to a submission deadline, reach out directly and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

I’m not comfortable in front of the camera. Will you help me pose?

Absolutely. Most medical students I work with say the same thing. You’ll receive real-time guidance on posture, expression, and presence so your photo feels natural, confident, and professional.

Where is your studio located?

My home studio is located in Riverdale Park, Maryland, serving medical students across Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
