I’ve always had great folks shooting weddings with me. Scott, Betsy, Magnus. Each of them came to me already having some chops with the camera, but I’d like to think that they’ve all gained a ton of technique and experience through shooting our weddings.
What I’m offering now is a similar position, but waaaaaay more intense. Not just weddings. To one person who will dedicate their time and energy to working alongside me, I’ll dedicate myself to making sure that person has complete access to learn anything and everything I know photography-related—equipment, technique, portraiture, lighting, posing, workflow, post-processing, printing, albums, client communication, invoicing, marketing, branding, goal setting…everything.
Interested or know someone who might be? Here’s how the application process will work:
Applicants should:
- already have a DSLR camera body, preferably a Nikon
- already have a basic understanding of exposure (aperture, shutter speed, iso)
- want a career in the photography field eventually
- love people
All interested people should shoot over to me a short letter of introduction by October 16. You can send it directly to my email HERE. In it, it’d be a good idea to let me know a little about yourself, what experience you’ve had, and what your goals are, both short-term and long-term.
FYI, there will be pay involved, especially as it relates to second-shooting weddings with me. But this is not a job. It’s going to be an investment. An education. And it’s going to be a blast…promise!
Looking forward to hearing from you all!

If you really want to learn a lot about photography, hang out with a great guy and experience beautiful weddings you really need to apply. Speaking from experience, you will learn a lot.
Thanks Shaun!

Hi Shaun. Did you find someone already? I just saw this, wish I’d checked your website earlier! You shot my friend Whitney and her little girl and the pictures were great. I love photography that captures people and not poses. Just thought I’d check cause I would love to work with you.
