Today I’ve got some pretty huge news to share.
We are hiring again! And this time, it’s for a Spring Intern AND an Associate Wedding/Portrait Photographer!
Y’all, this has been such a long time coming. Growing our team in this way has been on my heart and mind literally for years, so I’m highly excited to be announcing this next step (and admittedly a little scared…doing new things is always at least a little bit scary, right?!). Please see below for more information about our team and available positions. If you think you might be a fit, we are now accepting applications and I would love for you to apply by following the instructions below each position description.
ABOUT US
We are currently a small, but mighty team of three + plus seasonal interns and have been in business for 10 years, having photographed over 200 weddings. Cheyenne is the lead photographer and owner, Erika is the studio manager and second shooter and Geoff is husband to Cheyenne, second shooter and director of all things technical and design. 🙂 We are located in Charlotte, North Carolina, but serve various areas of the Southeast primarily photographing weddings (a few portrait sessions here and there as well).
We are passionate about the business and the art of our company and ultimately, glorifying God. We desire to build it with intention, purpose and are highly committed to providing an exceptional experience for all of our clients. Our core purpose is to create art that matters and to genuinely care for others.
