The Internship Program

This program grew naturally from photographers reaching out to ask about learning alongside me. After meeting with candidates and finding the right fit, I welcomed my first intern—and discovered how much I loved sharing what I’ve learned with someone as excited to grow as I once was.

Many were curious about how I direct families, work with light, and approach a session. Those questions inspired a three-month experience built around hands-on assistance, observation, and time for questions and discussion after each session.

Interns commit to two sessions per week, joining me for both studio and on-location shoots. Through these experiences, they gain insight into my creative process, lighting, and the way I connect with families to create natural, meaningful photographs.

Designed for beginner and emerging photographers, the program offers space to learn, contribute, and develop greater confidence in their own approach to photography.

Now interviewing for January–March 2027.
