Sample headshots

Blazers, sweaters, button-downs. Neutral backgrounds.

The look that earns credibility on a firm bio, a speaker page, or a LinkedIn header. Real outputs from real customer uploads.

How it works

Get your headshots in minutes, not days

Three steps. Phone-friendly upload. Hand-picked delivery. No studio appointment, no wardrobe prep, no half-day blocked off.

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.
3 Delivery

Hand-picked set in under 90 minutes

Every photo passed before it reached you. Most orders finish in less than an hour. Download, share, set as your LinkedIn profile photo, done.

Why this version exists

The category trained women to expect bad outputs

Wrong skin tone, wrong age, model-y airbrushing that erases who you are. Aurawave was built to fix that gap.

Looks like you, not a model

Same age. Same skin texture. Same hair. The grading checklist throws out outputs that smooth too much, change race, or "improve" features the original photo never had.

Reads competent, not cute

A confident expression, professional wardrobe, and a neutral background. The look that earns credibility in a pitch meeting, not a "you're so pretty" comment under a post.

Built for every channel

LinkedIn. The firm bio. The speaker page. The Avvo or Healthgrades profile. The resume. The conference badge. One session, every place your face shows up.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about AI headshots for women

Will it make me look like a different race or change my skin tone?

No. The grading checklist throws out any photo that shifts your skin tone or changes your race. This is the single most common failure in the category, and it is the first thing the engine checks. Same skin tone you uploaded, same skin tone you get. If a photo drifts, it gets killed before it reaches you. See Wired on AI image bias and skin tone for why this happens elsewhere.

Will it smooth my skin in a way that erases who I am?

No. The checklist treats heavy smoothing as a failure, not a feature. You keep your skin texture, your laugh lines, your real face. Aurawave is tuned to look like a great photo of you, not a stranger with your name on it. The phrase a customer used: a version of you on your absolute best day.

Can I look professional without looking like a model?

Yes. The default styling is a blazer, a sweater, or a button-down with a neutral background. The same wardrobe a male professional gets, no glamour poses, no fashion-shoot lighting. The goal is the photo that earns "she runs the meeting," not "she's so pretty."

Will the styling work for my industry?

Yes. The wardrobe range covers law firm bios, hospital staff pages, real estate listings, tech LinkedIn, consulting decks, speaker programs, and resumes. Backgrounds default to soft gray, soft blue, or light office blur, and you pick what fits.

Will my AI 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 on a bad-hair-day morning. See LinkedIn's official profile photo best practices for what recruiters scan for in 6 seconds.

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 every photo, full commercial use, for your LinkedIn, your firm bio, your resume, and your business cards.
