Youth Sports Portrait Photographer

We're a growing photography team that brings enthusiasm to a clear system, steady energy to busy photo days, and a real focus on helping kids feel confident in front of the camera.

This isn't just a camera job. It's a people job. You'll be behind the camera taking posed portraits while also directing athletes, keeping kids engaged, and helping photo day stay on schedule.

If you've coached a team, run a classroom, managed a front desk, worked with families, or kept a busy household organized, you may already have many of the skills we need. We'll teach you the photography side.

WHAT THIS JOB IS - AND ISN'T
On photo day, you'll photograph posed individual portraits and team photos at a set-up portrait station using our cameras, lighting, and backdrops.

You won't be shooting games, practices, or sideline action.

WHAT YOU'LL DO ON PHOTO DAYS

Set up and tear down photo equipment

Take posed individual portraits and team photos using our cameras and lighting

Pose and direct athletes so every kid looks confident

Make quick adjustments to posing, expression, clothing, and small details

Work alongside a Photo Day Assistant to keep the line moving and the energy upbeat

Follow a consistent photography system while keeping each interaction positive and efficient

IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOUR SCHEDULE?
This is a part-time, seasonal role. Work is scheduled by photo day rather than by a regular weekly shift.

Busy seasons: September-November and March-June

Most photo days are weekday evenings and weekends, usually 4-8 hours

This role can be a great fit alongside a day job, freelance work, coaching, or a family schedule. It is not a full-time position and does not offer guaranteed weekly hours.

This role is best suited for someone based in Western Massachusetts or Northern Connecticut, as most photo days are currently within that area, with occasional travel to other parts of Massachusetts or Connecticut.

A GOOD FIT IS SOMEONE WHO:

Works well with kids and is comfortable giving clear direction

Brings positive energy without losing structure or focus

Stays calm and makes good decisions when things get busy

Is reliable, punctual, and comfortable following a system

Notices small details and can work efficiently

Wants flexible part-time work that can grow with a small business

A BIG PLUS
Comfort with a camera or experience in portrait photography, including family or newborn photography, studio lighting, school or sports photography, or sports media and TV production.

Photography experience is helpful, but it is not required.

REQUIREMENTS

Must be 18 or older

Reliable transportation required

Comfortable standing for several hours and helping carry and set up basic photo equipment

Background checks are required after an offer, including CORI and a national background check, along with SafeSport certification, because we work with minors
