Preschool Photographer

**Are You a Peek-A-Boo Master?**

**Do You Love Singing "Baby Shark"?**

Join Our Team as a Pre-School Photographer - Capturing Little Smiles and Big Personalities.

Are you a charismatic individual with a knack for bringing out the best in every child?

Do you have the patience of a saint and a knack for turning kiddo chaos into photographic gold? If so, say STINKY FEET (trust me, it works way better than “say cheeeeese”), because we want YOU to join our team at our rapidly growing pre-school photography company

**Our Values**:

- Positivity above all else: When dealing with children and staff at centers, nothing is ever a problem, and a positive disposition is maintained even in challenging situations.
- Unimpeachable Character: Be the type of person with whom people are always proud to be associated both personally and professionally.
- Continuous Improvement: Always looking to improve both personally and professionally. Nothing of value can be built without kind, candid feedback.

**What’s in it for you?**
- 4-hour shifts, 2-4 mornings per week (Tuesday - Friday)
- $40 per hour starting rate
- Starting February 28th
- Paid mileage for travel at $0.85 per km
- On-the-job paid training provided until you are ready to work independently.
- All the necessary photography equipment will be provided.
- Summer shutdown We work from late February to November and have summers off
- Working for a small company (you’ll be the first employee) means you absolutely will not get lost in the system or be treated as a cog in a massive machine. Instead, you’ll be an integral part of a fast-growing business.

**Must have working with children/Blue Card and driver's license and reliable vehicle.**

**Qualities We're Looking For**:

- Experience photographing kids: You may be great with kids and know your way around a camera, or you might be a newborn or family photographer looking for mid-week work to boost your income.
- Personable: A people-person who can bring any child out of their shell (and also work with the adults in the room).
- Great with Kids: A maestro at managing mini-mischief makers and getting their personalities to shine, whether that be loud and boisterous or shy and quiet.
- Cool Under Pressure: Your zen level remains off the charts, even when surrounded by kiddie chaos.
- Fast Learner: Ready to dive into learning our systems and processes and building your skills both personally and professionally.
- Interest in Growth: Committed to personal and professional development. Happy to take on new challenges.
- Patience of a Saint: Capable of handling tears, laughter, and everything in between with a good-natured grin. Nothing is ever a problem, and it’s positivity above all.
- Attention to Detail: Meticulous in capturing photos, spotting crooked collars and stray boogies.
- Happy to play the fool: You’re great at being a bit of an idiot to get a shy smile, playing peek-a-boo to get a belly laugh, or singing "Baby Shark" in chorus to get a child comfortable.

**Job Hours**:

- 2-4 days per week from February to November
- Typical start on site around 7:30 am
- Finish around 12 pm (before the kiddos crash and burn)

**Responsibilities**:

- Capture the best kindy photos in Queensland
- Masterfully and calmly navigate the unpredictable world of children, from laughter to tears and everything in between.
- Travel to pre-schools across the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas (and yes, the job pays mileage)
- Set up photography equipment on-site, turning each location into a mini photo studio (all equipment is provided).
- Collaborate with school staff to orchestrate the smooth flow of mini-models during photo sessions.
- Capture amazing and memorable photos that showcase the true essence of each child.

Help us create unforgettable memories for students and families across the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas.
