The Role

You’ll attend childcare centres on weekday mornings during school terms to photograph young children & their staff.

You’ll be expected to maintain a positive workplace attitude working with children from Nursery & Toddlers up to Preschool age (0-6yrs). You may also be required to take group photos of the children and educators in their classes. Images from the morning session will then be selected and uploaded. As a member of our childcare photography team, you’ll work alongside other photographers and the centre staff to capture those little smiles and continue to maintain the great relationships we have with our childcare clients. 

Through your own photography, you’ll strive to deliver a consistent level of image quality and composition to both our clients and their families associated with our brand.
