The Requirements
- Must be willing to travel to sessions in the Minneapolis area and surrounding suburbs. Most of my sessions are in the western suburbs, such as Minnetonka, Wayzata, and Plymouth. But I also travel as far west as Watertown (where my parents' farm is) and South East suburbs like Eagan!

"Working with AJ was such a fun experience! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get a feel for all the aspects that go into running a photography business. Going on shoots gave me practice with real clients, posting on socials taught me how to cohesively represent a brand, and working with AJ taught me so much about photography. There are just some things you can only learn from experience and this is the perfect opportunity with AJ."

Preferences
- If you are wanting to grow your photography skills and business, it is preferred that you own your own DSLR or mirrorless camera. But, still apply if you don't! I am willing to lend you one of my cameras for shoots which you are attending with me.
- I would love my intern to attend as many of my seniors sessions as possible, which take place morning and evening, Monday-Wednesday, June-September. But I can be flexible to work around your schedule when it comes to other jobs and commitments. Especially if that other job is photography!
- My intern will also have the option to attend other sessions, outside of seniors, if they are interested.

"I had such an incredible time interning with AJP! As the marketing intern, I was given the opportunity to capture behind the scenes moments and create social media content. I was so excited to utilize my creativity and gain professional experience working for an amazing business!"

Terms
- If you are a photographer planning to post images taken during one of my sessions, you must wait until after I have posted previews or sent out the complete gallery to do so. You also cannot tag the client in your post or send them your images. And remember that you must attribute Alison Joleen Photography in all of your posts containing photos taken during one of my sessions!
- While attending my sessions my intern must remember that they are an extension of Alison Joleen Photography. This means that they cannot promote or solicit business for themselves. BUT I encourage my interns to grow their own business OUTSIDE of the confines of the internship.
- On a similar note, as an extension of Alison Joleen Photography, my intern must understand that their words and actions are a reflection of my business. It is extremely important that my intern reflects and ENHANCES the fun, inclusive, and safe environment I try to create for my clients!
