About Picture Pros

Picture Pros Photography photographs youth athletes at tournaments across the country while creating a positive experience for players, coaches, and families.

We’re expanding our Allentown / Lehigh Valley recruiting area and looking for dependable, energetic photographers who enjoy sports, travel, working with people, and being part of a fast-paced event environment.

This role combines photography, customer service, sales, travel, and event operations.

Success comes from taking quality photographs, communicating confidently with athletes and families, and helping customers choose photo products they’ll enjoy for years to come.

Professional photography or sales experience is helpful, but reliability, communication, coachability, and a strong work ethic are equally important.

Compensation

Picture Pros offers performance-based compensation with uncapped earning potential.

This opportunity is structured as a 1099 independent contractor position and is not a traditional hourly role.

For qualifying full events, contractors receive either earned commission or an applicable minimum event protection amount of $375, whichever is greater, subject to company policies and event requirements.

Actual earnings vary based on:

Event size
Assignment responsibilities
Photography production
Customer engagement
Sales performance
Individual results

Complete compensation details, commission structure, and performance expectations are reviewed with qualified candidates before they accept their first event assignment.

Approach customers
Start conversations
Explain photo products clearly
Answer customer questions
Help families complete purchases
Handle rejection professionally
Remain positive and energetic

Senior Photographer
