Photographer — School & Sports Picture Days

No photography experience? Good. Keep reading.

We can teach anybody to run a camera. We can't teach somebody to be good with kids.

Moor Media shoots school and youth sports picture days around the Dayton and Troy area. We're looking for someone to join our crew — and the number one thing we're looking for isn't a photography background. It's the person who can get a nervous first grader to laugh, keep a line of 40 travel-ball kids moving, and stay steady when the schedule slips.

If you've spent time in a classroom, a daycare, a dugout, or your own living room with a house full of kids — you already have the hard part.

What you'd actually do

Photograph students and athletes at schools, gyms, and fields using our equipment and our setupHelp set up and tear down lighting and backdrops (we'll show you exactly how)Direct kids through poses quickly and kindly, keeping the line movingWork alongside a small crew and represent Moor Media well in front of parents, coaches, and school staffKeep gear organized, charged, and accounted forWhat we're actually looking for

You genuinely like kids. Not tolerate. Like.You show up. On time, every time, ready to go.You stay calm when it gets loud. Picture days are fast and chaotic by nature.You take direction well and ask questions. There's a right way we do things, and we'll teach it to you.You're looking for something ongoing, not a one-weekend gig. We invest in people who stay.Nice to have (but not required)

We work with children; this is non-negotiable for everyone on our team.The honest version of the schedule

We want to be straight with you, because this matters:

Mostly weekday mornings and evenings, with some weekends. Fall is our busiest stretch.Hours vary week to week. Some weeks are full, some are light. This is not 40 hours a week, and it's not a replacement for a full-time income.Photo days are scheduled well in advance, and you can give us blackout dates.We're growing. Moor Media is expanding, and the person who joins us now and does this well is the person who grows into Lead Photographer as we add crews.What we provide
