PHYSICIAN & MEDICAL HEADSHOTS
Physician & Medical Headshots in Northern Virginia
Calm. Trustworthy. Recognizably you.
HEADSHOTS PATIENTS CAN TRUST
Patients look you up before they ever sit down in your exam room. Your photo is on your practice website, your hospital or health system directory, and your online booking and review profiles, and it is often the first thing a nervous patient sees when deciding who to call.
I'm Marquel, and I photograph people who hate having their photo taken. If you would rather be seeing patients than standing in front of a camera, you are in good company. Feeling awkward on camera isn't a personality flaw. It's a lack of direction, and direction is my job.
Whether you are a physician joining a new practice, a dentist updating the team page, or a practice manager coordinating headshots for every provider, your photo should look like the person patients actually meet.
Serving physicians, dentists, and medical practices across Northern Virginia and Washington DC.
HEADSHOT SERVICES FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Whether you need one portrait for your profile or a consistent set for every provider in the practice, the services below are built around where medical professionals actually use their photos.
PHYSICIAN &
PROVIDER HEADSHOTS
A polished portrait for your practice website, health system directory, patient booking profiles, LinkedIn, and conference bios. One directed session at the studio, with a photo you can use everywhere your name appears.
PRACTICE &
MEDICAL TEAM SESSIONS
Consistent headshots for every physician, provider, and staff member, so your "Meet the Team" page looks like one practice. Medical practices, dental offices, and clinics can request a custom team quote.
NEW PROVIDER &
TEAM MATCH
Hired a new physician mid-year? Send a few reference images and the new headshot will be matched to your team's existing background, lighting, and crop, so the website stays consistent without a full reshoot.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Let's talk before you book.
Whether you are a physician refreshing a directory photo or a practice manager coordinating headshots for the whole team, a quick conversation will save you time and make sure you book the right session.
WHY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS CHOOSE MARQUEL YVETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
Patients choose a person, not a credential. Your training is on your CV. Your photo is what tells a patient whether you will listen. A warm, steady expression does more for a first appointment than any title under your name.
Guided posing for people who hate posing. I coach you through every expression and angle, so you never have to guess what to do with your hands or your smile.
Natural retouching, never over-edited. Every image is individually retouched for skin, color, and background cleanup. You should look like yourself on a very good day, because a patient is going to meet you in person.
White coat, scrubs, or business attire. Bring what you wear at work. The number of looks depends on your package, and I'll help you choose before your session so each one has a purpose.
Teams that match. For practices, every provider gets the same lighting, background, and crop, so your website reads as one practice. Request a team quote.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Bring your white coat or scrubs, clean and pressed, with a solid-color shirt or top underneath. Avoid busy patterns and loud ties, since your photo is often cropped small on directory and booking profiles. If you also want a look for LinkedIn or a conference bio, bring a blazer or a solid top as well, and I'll help you choose what works on camera. For a deeper dive, see my guide on what to wear for your headshot.
Yes. Medical practices, dental offices, and clinics can request a custom team quote. Team sessions keep the lighting, background, and crop the same for every provider, so your website reads as one practice instead of a collection of mismatched photos. Request a team proposal.
