Are you high-energy, organized, and love working with families?
Our Charlotte studio is part of a national franchise looking for a "Second Mate"—the ultimate right-hand person to keep our studio running smoothly. This isn't just a desk job; it’s a dynamic role where you’ll handle everything from first impressions to final sales.
Why Join Us?
- No Experience Needed: We have world-class systems in place through Trainual. We will train you on every aspect of the business, from editing to sales.
- Late Start: Our 10:00 AM start means no morning rush-hour stress.
- Career Growth: This role is designed for someone who wants to grow. The natural progression is to move into a family photographer role while maintaining your studio leadership duties.
What You’ll Do (The "Second Mate" Role):
- Communications: Manage the studio’s pulse—answering phones, booking sessions, and greeting families with high energy.
- Sales: Guide families through their photo reveal sessions and help them choose the perfect packages.
- Editing: Use our proven systems to edit and polish images to our franchise standards.
- Studio Support: Multitask in a fast-paced environment, keeping things organized and fun for babies, kids, and parents alike.
The Ideal Candidate:
- The "Vibe": Outgoing, energetic, and genuinely loves working with young children and babies.
- Reliable: You must be available every weekend.
- System-Oriented: You enjoy following a playbook (Trainual) and have great attention to detail.
- Stable: We are looking for long-term team members. If you have a history of frequent job-hopping (less than 1 year at previous roles), this will not be a good fit.

We are looking for a dedicated team member to help grow our brand. We are not interested in candidates who currently own or operate their own photography business. Requirements:
- Comfortable on the phone and computer.
- Must be able to work Thursday – Monday (10am-6pm).
- Spanish language skills are a plus!
- A "can-do" attitude—no task is too small in a small studio environment.
