About Verve Portraits

For over 15 years, Verve has been Australia’s home of emotive, storytelling portraiture — reconnecting families through beautiful imagery and unforgettable studio experiences. With creative spaces in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, we are proud to set the benchmark for premium family photography.

The Opportunity

We’re searching for talented photographers with a genuine passion for family portraiture — artists who can connect deeply with parents, kids, and even the most camera-shy family members during a 90-minute shoot.

You’ll bring warmth, confidence, and charisma to every interaction, helping clients feel seen, valued, and relaxed while you capture their genuine moments of connection.

As a Freelance Verve Photographer, you’ll bring:

• A natural ability to make people feel at ease and bring out real emotion.
• A minimum of 3+ years’ experience in photography and sales (ideally running your own freelance photography business).
• A growth mindset — open to coaching, feedback, and continual creative development.
• Confidence working with families, children, and multi-generational groups.

At Verve, our photographers are driven by artistry, connection, and excellence. You’ll be supported to keep learning, refining your craft, and creating work you’re proud of.

The Environment

Join a passionate community of creative professionals — photographers, designers, and artists — who share your love for storytelling and collaboration.

Our studios are fast-paced, inspiring spaces where feedback, coaching, and creativity flow freely. You’ll always be supported to grow as both a professional photographer and as a storyteller of family life.

Flexibility

As a freelancer with Verve, we work with you to design your unique schedule. Photographers typically work one weekday and one weekend day. Choose the rhythm that fits your lifestyle and build the work–life balance that suits you. 

Generous Income

We value great artistry — and reward it generously.

• Weekday rates: from $625 up to $1,250 (Based off 5 photo shoots)
• Weekend rates: from $875 up to $1,500 ( Based off 5 photo shoots).

Your earning potential grows with your performance and volume of sessions — the stronger your creative connection with clients, the stronger your sales.

Why You’ll Love Working with Us

• Creative, inclusive, and supportive team culture.
• Total flexibility to suit your lifestyle.
• Competitive freelance rates and performance bonuses.
• Opportunity to build your reputation within Australia’s most respected portrait brand.
• Continuous learning, mentorship, and collaboration.

If you love people and photography in equal measure, and you thrive in a creative, energetic environment — this could be the perfect next chapter for you. Apply now with your portfolio (web link, Instagram, PDF, or gallery) and a short cover letter telling us why family photography inspires you.
