- Setting up and packing photography equipment, lighting, and backdrops
- Organizing athletes, coaches, and teams to keep photo days running smoothly
- Assisting photographers during school and sports photo days
- Helping athletes look their best before photos

- Paid, hands-on photography training
- Opportunity to build photography skills while working with professional equipment
- A creative, supportive team environment

Why You’ll Love Working Here
No two days are the same. One day you’ll be photographing varsity football under stadium lights, the next you’ll be helping kindergartners smile for school portraits or working a fun community event. If you enjoy working with people, staying active, and being part of a creative team, we’d love to meet you.
