Medical Residency Headshots

"Professional Residency Headshots That Make the Right Impression!" 

Professional. Approachable. Residency-Ready.

Your ERAS headshot is often the first visual impression residency programs have of you. A clean, professional photo communicates confidence, attention to detail, and readiness to join a medical team - before anyone reads a single word of your application.

I specialize in ERAS-compliant medical residency headshots, guiding you through expression, posture, and presentation so your photo looks natural, confident, and professional. Every image is carefully formatted to meet ERAS photo requirements, so you can submit your application with confidence and without last-minute stress.

Your medical career begins with a strong first impression. Let’s create a headshot that helps you stand out, for all the right reasons.

🔍 Why ERAS Headshots Are Different from Regular Headshots

ERAS headshots aren’t about personal branding or creativity - they’re about clarity, professionalism, and meeting strict technical requirements. Unlike standard headshots, ERAS photos must follow specific sizing, background, and formatting rules, and your expression needs to feel confident and approachable without looking casual.

That’s why working with a photographer who understands medical residency applications matters. This session is designed specifically to meet ERAS standards while helping you look polished, professional, and ready for residency.

How to Prepare for Your ERAS Residency Headshot Appointment

You don’t need modeling experience or to know how to pose - I’ll guide you throughout the session. A few simple tips will help you feel prepared:

What to Wear
Conservative, professional attire works best. Suits, blazers, and solid neutral colors photograph cleanly and timelessly. Avoid white coats, busy patterns, or overly bold accessories.

Hair & Grooming
Neat, natural grooming goes a long way. Keep hair tidy and makeup minimal so your expression stays the focus.

Expression & Presence
We’ll aim for a calm, confident, approachable look - professional without feeling stiff. I’ll coach you through this in real time.
