Frequently Asked Questions

Should a nurse wear scrubs or professional attire for their headshot?

It depends on the platform. For hospital staff directories and clinical profiles, scrubs or a white coat over professional attire is standard and reads as appropriate. For LinkedIn, nursing association profiles, and non-clinical directories, business or business casual attire gives you more professional versatility. Many nurses bring both and choose during the session based on which platforms they need the images for.

Do you shoot headshots for travel nurses who need a profile photo?

Yes. Travel nursing agencies and platforms like Aya Healthcare, AMN Healthcare, and NurseJobs.com all require professional profile photos. A clean, well-lit studio portrait is much more effective than a phone photo for travel nurse applications, especially in competitive specialties. Sessions take 30–45 minutes and images are delivered within about a week.

Do you offer headshots for nursing students or new graduates?

Yes. Many new nursing graduates need a professional headshot for their first job applications, their LinkedIn profile, and their nursing association profiles. Sessions start at $395 and include direction that helps clients who have never had a professional photo session feel comfortable in front of the camera.

How far is the studio from South Shore Hospital and other area hospitals?

The studio at 83 E Water Street in Rockland is approximately 10 minutes from South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, 20 minutes from Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital Plymouth, and 25–30 minutes from major Boston hospitals. Free on-site parking — easier than any hospital parking structure.

Can you photograph an entire nursing unit or hospital department?

Yes. For hospital units, nursing departments, and other large healthcare teams, on-location sessions at your facility are available. We bring portable professional lighting and set up in a break room, conference room, or any available space. Contact us for on-location team pricing.
