About the Role

We create beautiful memories. Help us create senior portraits that captures this important moment for families. Learn how to take beautiful images for parents who want to remember this important milestone for their sons and daughters, preserve their family history, and share their joy with the other people in their lives. We believe in using our photographic talents to give back to the community, so in addition to taking senior, school, and sports portraits, we also donate our time to document events for organizations such as Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, Camp Hometown Heroes, and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation.

A Day in the Life of a Photographer

No day is the same as the next when you are a photographer! Traveling around the Chicago region and being on time to your photo assignments is something you’ll do every day. You will be the face of VIP at our schools. Our friendly, efficient teams make picture day an enjoyable experience for school faculty and administrators. Parents and seniors learn to count on our team members to create portraits that preserve these important moments in their family history. There is a lead photographer on your photo assignments, so you’re not on your own. Senior portraits are primarily taken indoors, but there is some opportunity for outdoor portrait sessions, based on the time of year and weather. Weekend assignments during the peak of each season are generally on Saturdays.

Work Schedule

Seasonal, with overtime hours available during our peak times during the school year. While our office is open from 8:00-5:00, Monday through Friday, we have photo assignments that range from early mornings, during school hours, evening hours, and on the weekends. Expect to work 10+ Saturdays per year, with some Sunday work as well. With a flexible approach to scheduling, VIP is able to accommodate most class schedules, vacation requests, and your freelance work.

About VIP

Visual Image Photography was started in 1978 by Tom Hayes. Our goal since we began has been to take the best picture possible every time we press the shutter. In 2015, Tom’s daughter Courtney became the new owner of VIP when he retired. The foundation of being committed to creating beautiful portraits continues to be a family tradition for over 40 years. Our work culture is built on a team oriented mindset that has fun and brings a smile to the job everyday. Teaching new photographers the skills to create beautiful portraits, and helping our current staff to continue developing their skills is important to our company. Our team is people oriented, socially connected, and fun to work with.
