I’m building a small, talented team to support my photography business on a casual, project-by-project basis. If you’re creative, reliable, and love working with people, I’d love to hear from you!

I’m currently gathering a roster of Photography Assistants, Second Photographers, and Hair & Makeup Artists for shoots across Vancouver Island. These are contract/freelance roles — perfect for those who want flexible, occasional work in a creative environment.
