At Lil Angels Photography, we believe picture day should feel joyful, calm, and a little magical.
With 30+ years of experience and partnerships with thousands of schools across North America, we are expanding in Toronto this fall and are looking for a Director of Photography to join our team.
This role is perfect for someone who is not only a strong photographer, but who truly loves working with young children ages 0–5. We are looking for someone warm, patient, playful, and confident — someone who can create beautiful portraits while helping little ones feel comfortable, safe, and celebrated.
If you know how to make a shy toddler smile, keep a busy morning moving smoothly, and create consistent, polished images, we’d love to meet you.
What the role looks like
As our Director of Photography, you will lead picture day sessions at schools in the Toronto area. You’ll be the on-site photography lead, helping create a fun, organized, child-friendly experience for school teams, families, and little ones.
**Equipment is provided, including set/camera/gear and more!**
Valid drivers license and person vehicle required.
Your first two weeks will include paid hands-on training, where you will shadow two of our senior photographers across 10 school picture days to learn our process, flow, and quality standards.
