Summary
I’m excited to apply for the Portrait Photographer position at Bartley’s Studios. For the past year I’ve worked as a self-employed photographer specialising in newborn, child, and family portraits, and I’m now ready to take the next step into a studio role.
Alongside strong technical skills in camera operation, equipment, and post-processing (Photoshop & Lightroom), I bring patience, empathy, and communication skills developed both through photography and my background as a registered nurse. These qualities help me connect with clients and capture natural, meaningful moments.
I would love the chance to bring my passion and creativity to Bartley’s Studios, and I’d be delighted to discuss how my skills can contribute to your team.
