Photo Studio Assistant

Reflect is a self-service mirror portrait studio designed to give clients full control of the photoshoot experience. Guests step in front of our two-way mirror and create professional-quality images at the click of a button. We are looking for reliable, personable team members to help run the studio and ensure every client has a smooth, professional experience.

This position is ideal for someone who has customer-facing experience, understands photography equipment & software basics, and can troubleshoot camera or lighting equipment when needed.

Reflect operates by appointment only, and sessions must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. Because of this, the schedule will vary week to week. Some days may be very light with only a few bookings, while others may be more active. Candidates must have weekend availability.

This role is a great fit for someone who lives nearby and is looking for flexible, supplemental income, such as a freelancer (graphic designer, social media manager, etc.) or a student, who can stay productive during downtime and appreciates a schedule that isn’t fixed day-to-day.

We expect hours to grow as the studio gains traction, but in the early stages, scheduling will be more fluid and based directly on bookings.

We’re looking for someone who is flexible, reliable, and excited to grow with a new business!
