Headshots for Doctors
Professional headshots for doctors & physicians
Are you ready to create headshots that represent you as the expert that you are in your field? We’ve worked with doctors and physicians from a variety of fields. From internal medicine doctors, plastic surgeons, pediatricians, podiatrists, orthodontists, eye care professionals and the list goes on.
One takeaway from photographing headshots for doctors and physicians is that it’s important for the healthcare worker to come across as warm, friendly, trustworthy, and compassionate.
Headshots for Doctors
If you are going in for your first doctor appointment, how many of you have googled your physicians name to learn more about them. We are guilty of doing that ourselves. It’s important to build trust with your current and future patients. A good professional headshot and good reviews are part of that trust building.
This page will help you learn more about why you need an updated doctor’s headshot and what are the guidelines to look presentable and friendly.
Coming into the studio for your professional headshot
If you are scheduling an appointment to come into our professional studio for your professional headshot, we can discuss ahead of time what background option will look best for your healthcare brand.
If you are part of a bigger healthcare network, it’s important to share the headshot guidelines ahead of time so your headshot will stay consistent.
Bring the attire you wear when working with patients. If you are bringing in your doctor’s coat or scrubs, make sure that they are wrinkle free. Also, bring other outfits for additional looks to have a business professional headshot. Different looks may be useful for conferences if you are a speaker or publish an article.
Hiring WASIO faces to come to your doctor’s office
If you are planning to update your teams’ headshots, often, we come to your practice. A benefit of having us at your doctor’s office is that all your staff will be there, and everyone can get an updated headshot. This usually presents better value when you have a team of more than 5 people. For smaller teams it’s better to come to our studio.
We work together ahead of time to figure out the kind of backdrop and style of headshot that will look best and represent your practice.
We have experience working with bigger healthcare companies such as Kaiser Permanente. We travel nationwide to provide each physician with a consistent headshot that represents the company.
Why are doctor headshots important?
Doctors are one of the few ‘strangers’ that we can share our deepest concerns with regarding our mental and physical health. When looking up clinics and reading about different doctor profiles, it’s a nice bonus to see a friendly and warm face alongside the description.
Doctor headshots are important because this is the first impression that the potential patient will get about you. It is important to look like the doctor that truly cares about the concerns of their patients.
Having a headshot that will make the positive connections with potential clients is an ideal way to grow your patient list.

Years of experience photographing Doctors and Physicians
Having a variety of medical headshots
When you schedule your session, plan on having more than one look. A lot of the medical healthcare workers we photograph have a variety of uses for their professional doctor headshots. Besides listing your headshot photo on the company website, updating your LinkedIn is another great use for new headshots.
Other reasons for more than one headshot are if you have speaking engagements, publish articles or get featured in medical publications.
What to wear for headshots for doctors?
Firstly, it’s important to stay consistent with the medical practice you are with. If all the doctors are wearing their lab coats, then wear your lab coat. If the doctors are wearing scrubs, then stick to scrubs.
Whatever look your medical practice is going for, we also highly recommend bringing additional dress shirts, ties, and suits to have options for multiple looks. We will work together to give you the best variety for the different platforms you plan on updating your professional headshots.
Tips for Professional Headshots for Doctors and Physicians
Uniform headshots: Having consistent team headshots with the same backdrop creates a strong brand image for your clinic. You can decide with your team what the dress guidelines are, and we can help you decide on which backdrop will work best.
Choose at least 2 outfits: To add some extra personality to your headshots, we highly recommend bringing at least 2 outfits. One of the outfits should have the physician wearing their lab coat or scrubs and the second can be the doctor wearing business attire.
Don’t forget to update your headshots: No matter what field of work you are in, if you are working with people on a regular basis, it’s important to have headshots that are up to date. If your headshot is over two years old, then it’s time to update your headshot.
