-
1 Upload
Upload 10 selfies
Phone photos are fine. Mix up the angles, expressions, and outfits. Take them in the last year so the AI grades you, not a younger you.
-
2 Generate & grade
The AI builds and grades your photos
Every shot is scored against a working photographer's checklist. Lighting, eyes, sharpness, identity match. The bad ones get tossed before you ever see them.

Why this matters
Your headshot is doing the work for your nursing career
Your photo is on every staff badge, agency profile, and hospital directory page that decides whether the patient feels safe. The wrong photo costs you trust before the introduction.
It earns the patient's trust
Patients meet your photo before they meet you. A calm, credentialed photo lowers anxiety in the first 10 seconds of the encounter.
It reads professional in scrubs or a white coat
Aurawave handles both. The expression and lighting match what hospitals already use on staff pages, not what stock photo libraries push.
It works for travel-nurse agencies and the staff directory
Aya, Trusted, Vivian, Cross Country, the hospital staff page, the unit-floor introduction board. One Aurawave session covers every channel.
Why Aurawave
Photographer-built, not algorithm-dumped
Other tools generate 100 mediocre photos and make you sort through the rejects. Aurawave runs every photo through a working photographer's grading rubric and only delivers the keepers.

20+ years behind the lens. 15,000 studio sessions in the rubric.
Joshua spent 20+ years behind the lens. He ran a top-10 US headshot studio in Chicago from 2007 to 2024. He saw the AI category shipping photos that looked like models, not the real people who paid for them.
Aurawave is the fix. The same checklist he uses on studio shoots, baked into the grading layer. The AI is the camera. The photographer is still in the room.

Nurse headshot FAQ
Questions about nurse headshots
The most common questions we hear from RNs, nurse practitioners, and travel nurses.
Will the styling look right in scrubs?
Yes. Scrubs are the default look for the bedside RN, ICU, ER, and charge-nurse outputs. Navy, ceil blue, hunter green, and black are all supported. The crop, the lighting, and the background match what unit floors and hospital staff pages already use.
Can I get a version in a white coat for my NP profile?
Yes. Most nurse practitioners order one Aurawave session and use it across every channel. White coat for the Doximity NP profile and the clinic website. Scrubs for the hospital staff page and the unit-floor introduction board. Button-down for LinkedIn and any speaking-engagement headshot.
Will travel-nurse agencies accept these for my profile?
Yes. The default crop and background work for Aya, Trusted, Vivian, Cross Country, and any other agency profile. You own the photos with full commercial use, so the agency can drop them straight into the recruiter packet.
Will this look professional enough for the hospital staff directory?
Yes. Aurawave outputs are styled for the staff page, the meet-the-team grid, and the unit-floor introduction board. Patients should not be able to tell the photo came from a different shoot than the rest of the team.
Will my AI nurse headshot actually look like me?
Yes. The grading step throws out any photo that does not look like you. It should pass the test where a coworker spots you walking onto the unit at change of shift.
How fast will I get my photos, and do I own them?
Under 90 minutes from upload to delivery. Most orders finish in less than an hour. You own the photos with full commercial use, which covers the staff directory, the agency profile, Doximity, your resume, and your nursing-school alumni page.
