Currently seeking interns for the Fall Season! If you are a student enrolled in an accredited college or university, we offer 150 hour and 90 Hour syllabus courses for your college credits. If you are not currently enrolled, but are still seeking a part time internship, please feel free to apply. We may just have something for you as well!
What is an internship?
Internships offer students a period of practical experience in the industry relating to their field of study. This experience is valuable to students as a means of allowing them to experience how their studies are applied in the “real world”, and as work experience that can be highly attractive to potential employers on a candidate’s resume.
Who are interns?
Interns are usually university students, or university graduates who have not yet found employment. Interns are less frequently college students (under 18) or older “career changers”.
What do Interns do?
An intern is someone who works in a temporary position for an employer who operates in an industry they are interested in working in. Unlike conventional employment, internships have an emphasis on training, rather than employment itself.
Why do an Internship?
An internship provides a great opportunity for prospective employees to gain experience in a particular field or industry. determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain university module credits. Interns may also have the possibility of putting themselves forward for forthcoming opportunities for paid work, during their internship.
What do YOU get?
For starters, if you are a college student enrolled in an arts program, you get college credits. We participate in internship programs with various colleges and universities throughout the state and work hand in hand with your program directors to ensure your college education is enhanced by this internship. Depending on the school, students in the past received up to 4 college credits for this internship towards their degree. We offer a 150 Hour and 90 Hour college level internship program.
We teach everything from Adobe software editing to equipment maintenance and on location performance. Basic business skills such as maintaining contracts, product bidding, album design, social media integration, marketing as well as working with people. Improving your photography skills from basic to intermediate and advanced will depend on the level and knowledge you currently possess.
As with any business, the final product, in this case photography, actually represents about 15% of our time together. (Gasp, I know. I wish I could just take pictures all day too! lol) Not to worry, you will learn a lot more about photography, both technically and behind the lens including what it takes to make a great image, from within.
What do WE get?
Free labor.
HA! kidding!
Not really.lol
This is an unpaid internship, yes. Mainly because any administration or assistant tasks you will be asked to perform are paid in the form of education and college credits instead. As a college level course study, we put a TON of work into making our internship programs successful. So yes, please grab a reflector and lend a hand.
You may be asked to do research projects, assemble packages, call clients, follow up on emails, or hold the reflector in the perfect position despite gusty winds on the beach. Maybe you’ll be carrying gear bags to a reception hall, parking the car while we run into the church for a ceremony or a variety of other random duties as assigned.
But rest assured, we do not abuse interns. Just ask some of our past interns or maybe even our own Caitlin Ombres, who started as an intern and did so well she stayed as a permanent member of the team.
This experience is for education and training only. We do not guarantee employment when you are finished with your program. However, the option is not entirely ruled out depending on the individual. We have many projects for the Fall and Spring season in the works.
What if I am not a student?
You may still apply. While the 150 hour program may not be suitable, there are other options that may be suitable for you depending on your education desires and our needs. Please feel free to submit your application and resume and if we have an opportunity for you we will certainly contact you.

Looking forward to a GREAT Fall Season!
