Entry-Level Photographer

Before we get into the details, here's the most important thing to know.

We know the job title says "Photographer," but the truth is, we're not photographers first. We're customer service reps who happen to hold a camera!

We’re looking for someone who can walk into a home, connect naturally with clients, communicate professionally, stay organized under pressure, and represent our company well. The camera part? We can teach that.

In fact, we often prefer candidates with little or no photography experience because it allows us to train consistently from the ground up. What matters most to us is reliability, professionalism, customer service, and the ability to create a polished experience for every client interaction.

This role is a great fit for people coming from hospitality, restaurants, retail, or other fast-paced customer-facing environments. Former restaurant managers, servers, bartenders, baristas, and hospitality professionals tend to do especially well because they already understand urgency, communication, professionalism, and how to stay calm while juggling moving parts.

This role is fast-paced and highly structured. You’ll drive locally between appointments, follow detailed shot lists and company procedures, and regularly receive feedback as part of the training and growth process.
