Expression guidance
a real smile that reaches the eyes; in client-facing work it outperforms the closed-mouth professional look. For nurses, that is the difference between a photo that looks like it was taken for the role and one that was taken anywhere.

Common questions
Is the Business Casual style suitable for nurses?
For most nurses, yes — nurses and nurse practitioners on care-team rosters patients actually open choose it specifically for hospital care-team directories. The style delivers a light office-style environment with open posture and an easy smile — approachable enough to call, credible enough to hire, which is the signal nurses want to send there.
How do I choose between Business Casual and other styles as a nurse?
Choose by placement: if the photo is heading to hospital care-team directories, the Business Casual register is built for exactly that. For day-to-day use, nurses usually keep an everyday set — the Nurse Headshots guide shows which. Both can come from one upload, so nothing is locked in before you see the results.
Can I use one upload for several styles?
Yes. You upload 10-20 source photos once, and each style is a separate generation from the same upload. Most customers order their primary style first, then add a second or third look without re-shooting.
