Studio Manager (3-4 days weekly)

I’m looking for an enthusiastic rockstar to keep my studio organized and running like the best photo studio in the world.

Studio Philosophy

I create luxurious, pampering & personalized photo session experiences. I think of every detail, so all my clients do is show up to their shoot…the rest, my team & I handle. My high standards and attention to detail rival world-class photo studios.

My clientele are busy moms who want to look & feel their very best during their portrait.

I plan shoots for weeks: conducting a style consultation, timeline, styling the entire family, booking in studio hair & makeup, building custom sets and even planning breakfast or lunch for some shoots. 80% of who I’m photographing are returning clients.

I see my clients as extended family and reward them with exclusive events, free tickets to community events, and more.

What the job is like…

My new rockstar Studio Manager will be the gatekeeper to the studio. They will manage and maintain my beautiful studio space and busy schedule, while acting as a point of contact for all my wonderful clients. They’ll work in a fast-paced environment and need to switch gears often.

The studio manager fields all inquiries and calls to the studio and schedule shoots & meetings into my schedule, drafts shoot styling sheets, timelines and sends shoot reminders/arrival instructions and makes sure photos are delivered on time.

They manage the studio email list on FloDesk, schedules periodic newsletters and promotions to email list. Creates marketing plans for studio events, promotions and new set drops.

Assist during photoshoots by setting up/breaking down the shoot space, preparing lighting setups/equipment, build custom sets, closely assist during photoshoots. Once comfortable, they can also help style shoots/client outfits and design photo albums—so a creative eye is preferred!

The studio manager will keep the photo studio organized and OCD clean.

Periodic assistance at off-site events (during the work week, on weekends seldom) for my children’s book (Sachiko Goes Racing) and a few hours on weekends for large shoots/photo session events are required but do not occur regularly, advance notice will be given.

They will film content for IG Stories, reels, YouTube, etc and assist in posting on social media.

Other tasks may be assigned in conjunction with my book, including merchandise organizing, packing for pop-up events, and parking/sending orders once in a while.
