Job Description
Full-Time, On-Site in Norwich, NY
This is the role creative photographers dream about! Do what you love- with a steady paycheck, normal hours, and full creative control! You're not just taking photos- you're building a brand and creating content that brings joy to thousands of families. If you're ready to trade the freelance grind for stability, purpose, and the freedom to do your best work, join us.
About Bloom Owl
Bloom Owl creates personalized gifts for children that inspire creativity, confidence, and joy. From custom wooden toys to keepsakes that become core memories, our products help families celebrate the moments that matter. We're a small, energetic team in Norwich, NY, growing fast and building a visual brand that feels warm, magical, modern, and intentional.
We're also launching Bonded, our sister brand, which means even more creative opportunities and fresh challenges ahead. This is an exciting time to join us- you'll help shape the visual identity of not one, but two growing brands.
About This Role
We are hiring a full-time Photographer and Creative Director who will bring our products and brand vision to life through photography, videography, and creative direction.
Imagine walking into your studio Monday morning with a clear creative plan, beautiful products ready to shoot, and all the support you need to bring your vision to life. No client revisions. No chasing invoices. No 10pm editing sessions because that's the only time you had. Just you, your craft, and the freedom to create work that makes families smile.
You'll own all visual content creation for Bloom Owl and Bonded- from product photography and lifestyle shoots with kids and families, to social media videos and seasonal campaigns. You'll plan concepts, style sets, direct shoots, and edit everything to perfection. This is a hands-on role where your creativity and ideas will directly shape how thousands of people experience our brands.

Photography
Product photography for ecommerce, Amazon, and Shopify (flatlays, styled sets, detail shots)
Lifestyle photography featuring children, families, and adults
Seasonal and themed photoshoots (think cozy fall vibes, magical holiday moments, bright spring energy)
Capture founder-focused personal branding content that shares the heart and behind-the-scenes of building Bloom Owl
Plan and lead seasonal mini photoshoot events for local families (fall portraits, holiday cards, spring sessions)- these events bring in additional revenue while building community connections and giving you client photography experience
Videography
Short-form videos for social media (reels, TikToks, ads)
Product demonstration videos
Behind-the-scenes content that brings people into our world
Hero video content for Shopify and ads
Edit, color correct, adjust audio, and export for multiple formats
Creative Direction

Lead set design and prop selection (we have tons of props and we love creative ideas!)
Manage kid models and scheduling
Maintain a consistent, beautiful brand aesthetic across both photography and video
Brainstorm bold creative ideas that make our brand stand out
Editing and Asset Management
Edit all photos using Lightroom, Photoshop, or your preferred tools
Edit and format videos using CapCut or similar software
Organize, tag, and upload assets to our digital system
Ensure everything is polished, on-brand, and ready to publish
What We're Looking For
Skills & Experience:
Strong portfolio showing product photography and lifestyle photography (especially with kids or families)
Experience shooting and editing video content
Strong understanding of lighting, composition, styling, and color
Proficiency in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, CapCut, and video editing tools
Organized and able to juggle multiple creative projects
Mindset & Personality:

This role is perfect for:

Someone who wants to build something meaningful instead of chasing gigs
A visual storyteller who loves children's brands and family-focused work
What You'll Have

A fully-equipped photo workspace with lighting, backdrops, props, and gear. It's a great functional space that gets the job done- and as we grow, there's exciting potential to design and build a dream studio together.
Access to our Sony A7 IV mirrorless camera and gear (so if you're earlier in your career, you don't need your own professional equipment to get started)
Creative input to help us improve and expand the studio as we grow
Support & Growth:
Professional development support- we're happy to invest in courses, workshops, or training that help you grow
A collaborative, happy team that values your ideas and creativity
Room to grow with us as we scale (future assistant editors, expanded studio, bigger campaigns)
Direct impact- you'll see your work go out into the world and bring joy to real families
Compensation & Schedule:
$40,000–$60,000 annually depending on experience
Full-time, Monday–Friday, on-site in Norwich, NY

You'll have full creative ownership. You'll shape the look and feel of two fast-growing children's brands. You'll help create magical, meaningful moments for families. You'll work in a small, supportive team where your ideas matter and your growth is encouraged.
This isn't just a job- it's a creative partnership. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us, someone who's excited about what we're building, and someone who's ready to do work they're truly proud of.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
