WE'RE HIRING Casual Early Learning Photographers

Join the Five Graces Photography team in 2027

Love photography? Love kids? Have a playful personality and a knack for making little people laugh? We want to meet you

Five Graces Photography is a growing, Victorian-owned photography company specialising in natural, joyful and child-led photography in early learning centres and kindergartens.

We're expanding our team for 2027 and beyond, and we're looking for talented, energetic and genuinely lovely people to join us as Casual Early Learning Photographers.

Our photographers travel to early learning centres across Geelong, Ballarat, Werribee, Melbourne, Bendigo and surrounding regions, capturing the little moments that make childhood so special.

With Five Graces expanding interstate, there may also be exciting opportunities for photographers who love to travel

We're Not Your Traditional Kinder Photographers

At Five Graces, we believe the best photographs happen when children are simply being themselves.

We don't expect children to sit perfectly still, force a smile or perform for the camera.

Instead, we get down on their level, join in their games, follow their lead and capture their personalities as they naturally unfold.

One minute you might be building a tower of blocks, the next you're making silly noises to encourage a giggle, and five minutes later you're sitting in the sandpit photographing a toddler completely absorbed in their world.

It's fun, fast-paced, sometimes messy and incredibly rewarding

We offer four different photography experiences, from our signature play-based sessions to modern portrait-style photography,



mini play-based sessions and sibling photography.

Every child is different, and our photographers need to be able to adapt their approach to help each child feel happy, comfortable and confident.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is just as wonderful with children as they are behind a camera.

Our ideal photographer is:

- Fun, playful and full of personality – you genuinely enjoy making children laugh and feel special.

- Patient, gentle and understanding – you recognise that some children need extra time, reassurance or a different approach.

- Energetic and physically active – you're happy sitting on the floor, crawling around, getting up and down constantly and keeping up with busy little people.

- Creative and adaptable – you can find beautiful photographic opportunities in everyday childhood activities.

- Confident and personable – you communicate warmly and professionally with educators, children and families.

- Organised and efficient – you can work within a busy photography schedule without making children feel rushed.

- Reliable and responsible – you understand that our centres, families and fellow team members are counting on you.

- A genuine team player – you're happy to help others, take direction and represent Five Graces with pride.





Experience working with children who have additional needs is particularly valued. We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive, supportive photography experience where every child is respected.

And importantly, you must be completely comfortable with the realities of working with little people — messy faces, runny noses, sunscreen, sand, unpredictable moods and all

Photography Skills & Experience

We're looking for photographers who have:

- Experience with natural light photography.

- A strong understanding of exposure, composition and camera settings.

- The ability to work confidently in changing indoor and outdoor lighting conditions.

- The ability to capture sharp, well-composed images of children who rarely stop moving

- Confidence using professional photography equipment.

- An eye for genuine expressions, beautiful details and natural storytelling.

Experience in children's, family, lifestyle or early learning photography is highly regarded.

Your own skilled mirrorless camera is preferred.

While strong photography skills are important, we also know that technical skills can be developed. A wonderful personality, natural connection with children and genuine passion for the work are equally important to us.

No Editing Required
