now hiring

 

 

 

associate photographer

 

 

 

for karlie's photography

 

 

I'm growing my team!

 

 

With all the changes happening in my life right now (first time mom, WOO!!!) I'm looking to hire on 1-2 associate photographers to photograph senior/family sessions on days I'm not available, or after my schedule fills up. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who loves taking photos and forming that connection with the client during the session, but doesn't care as much for the editing, email replies, sending documents, and the business aspect of photography.

 

 

requirements

 

-At least 2 years experience in running your own photography business

-Lives in the Linn/Jefferson City area

-Has a great understanding of your camera, lenses, lighting, settings, posing, and composition

-Shoots in a way that brings out genuine emotion and joy

-Can shoot a good balance of posed, classic photos, but also can shoot natural, candid photos (or is willing to learn)

-Enjoys working with seniors and is personable with them and their parents

-Fast communication

-RELIABLE! To me and the client

-Professional during the session-no cursing, inappropriate jokes, insults, or anything that will reflect poorly on me and my business

-Be willing to shadow a couple sessions with me to get a feel for how the process goes


*Keep in mind that this is not a full time job! If you already have a full time job, your own business, or have sessions of your own, that is totally fine. You can apply if you have tons of availability, and you can apply if you just have a certain day each week open. You are not tied down to a certain amount of hours a week or sessions per month.



what to expect

So what does an associate photographer do? When a client reaches out to book a session on a date that I don't have available, I'll be reaching out to see if you can cover it. You will be running the session, shooting the photos, and then delivering them to me after.


I will be handling all communication/booking prior to the session. The contract, payment, questionnaire, and any other information will all be done on my end. I'll send over the questionnaire and any other information (Pinterest boards, inspo pics) from the client for you to go over as soon as I receive it from them. 48 hours before the session I will have you reach out to the client to introduce yourself and give them contact info for when you meet for the session.


I PRIDE myself on being personable, friendly, and making the session as comfortable and fun as possible. Your main job here is capturing great photos, and delivering the best client experience possible. They should feel confident and beautiful and have the BEST TIME EVER!!!!!


After shooting, you'll deliver all the raw images to me. After reviewing them, you'll receive payment and then your job is done! No editing, no delivering images, and no asking for payment from the clients. Easy peasy!



*You can continue to shoot your own sessions with your own business, while working under my business. This is a contractor position, so you will not be an employee. If hired, you'll be signing a contract that will go over all expectations, ownership of images, and clarify all aspects of this position.


Once we’ve signed a contract to work together, we’ll meet up for coffee and go through a little training session. I want the client to have the same experience whether it is with me, or with an associate shooter. I’ll teach you my entire senior session process, from start to finish. We’ll talk about posing, locations, flow, and how to make seniors feel comfortable and confident. I will also have you tag along to a session or 2 to show you how I typically do sessions.

 

PAYMENT


Your payment amount will depend on which package is booked.

Listed below is what you would make on each session.
