Studio Assistant Position Open!
I am SO excited to announce I am hiring a part time Studio Assistant to join the team! And it’s happening SOON! After much thought, prayer, and consideration, we have decided to expand our small team of two (myself and my husband, Neil), and link arms with someone who will add value to our lives and business. We are excited to move forward into the next phase of the business. Now that we are at maximum capacity, we are at the place where the workload is beyond my ability as one person. We have created the position of a Studio Assistant : a part-time position that will help to efficiently move our business forward.
Now, a little bit about us…
The Rachael Houser Photography brand serves joyful brides with professionalism, great communication, and personable interactions to give each couple we work with an amazing wedding photography experience. We are a husband and wife photography team based out of Paducah, Kentucky. We photograph weddings together, while I runs the at-home business and photographs all sessions. We are primarily wedding photographers, but I also takes a limited number of family-related sessions each year. In the studio, I work in a casual and comfortable atmosphere (ie: jeans and cozy tops). But don’t let it fool you… I work my tail off. It’s not just coffeehouse and pretty pictures; it’s serving our clients with everything we have to offer.
I love 1. Jesus, above all else 2. our two children, Graeme and Georgia 3. my husband, Neil 4. coffeehouse dates 5. Gilmore girls 6. all things Disney and Disney World 7. pizza & movie nights 8. traveling 9. Avett Brothers 10. listening to murder mystery podcasts and women ran business podcasts
