★★★★★

“I had a great experience! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish, and they made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Everything was very easy and well organized, and I really appreciated that they gave me complete privacy while taking my photos. I received around 120 professional headshots, and I was so impressed with the quality. The pricing was also very affordable, especially for what you receive. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking for professional photos!”

questions

Can you size my photo for ERAS?

Yes. ERAS asks for a 2.5 × 3.5 in photo at 150 dpi, in JPG or PNG, under 150 KB. We'll send you a file that fits.

Is this the same as a passport photo?

No. Application photos are headshots, so you can smile, look natural and dress the part. If a form asks for a passport-style photo, let us know.

What should I wear?

What you'd wear to the interview. A blazer or suit is a safe choice for medical and graduate programs.

Can I change outfits during my session?

Yes! Your session is fully private, and there's a place to change.
