What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seasonal School Photographer’s Assistant position at Photographic Memories Photography Studio?
Seasonal Preschool Photographer’s Assistant
We specialize in preschool photography, capturing genuine smiles of children from infants to age five in their own preschool setting — we bring the studio to them! Our one-of-a-kind prop sets make each session fun and memorable. As a family-owned business since 2005, we pride ourselves on creating a warm, joyful experience for every child and school we serve.
What You’ll Do
- Arrive at assigned preschool locations 30 minutes before start time to help set up equipment and props
- Engage with children on their level — often sitting or kneeling on the floor — to create a fun, comfortable atmosphere. You will be taught to pose children based on their age group and learn appropriate antics to engage with children to get them to smile and look at the camera.
- Use age-appropriate antics and guidance to get the best smiles and direct attention to the photographer
- Assist in keeping the photo sessions running smoothly (we may photograph up to 75 children in a morning!)
- Maintain a positive, energetic attitude and patient demeanor throughout the session
What We Offer
- Paid training — learn posing techniques for different age groups, group posing, expression coaching, and workflow tips
- A supportive, family-oriented work environment
- Seasonal morning hours (ideal for a part-time schedule)

- Friendly, reliable, and enthusiastic personality. Someone that works well with others and communicates well
- Able to lift and operate equipment up to 25 lbs
- Strong customer service skills
