Childcare & Kindergarten Photographer Superstar
Verse Photography
Melbourne VIC (Hybrid)
Photography (Advertising, Arts & Media)
Contract/Temp
$35 – $50 per hour
At Verse Photography, we're not just photographers — we're memory makers.
For over 12 years, we've specialised in childcare and kindergarten photography, capturing the joy, wonder, and unique personalities of children during some of the most important years of their lives.
As one of Melbourne's leading childcare photography companies, we're experiencing continued growth and are looking for enthusiastic, energetic photographers to join our team in 2026.
Along with any photographers looking for additional editing work as we enter our busiest period ever!
As a Verse Photography photographer, you'll visit childcare centres and kindergartens throughout metropolitan Melbourne, photographing children aged 6 months to 5 years.
This role is about so much more than taking photos. We believe the best images happen when children feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be themselves. Our photographers focus on capturing genuine expressions, little personalities, big imaginations, and those fleeting moments families treasure forever.
You'll work alongside a supportive team in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
Photography sessions generally run between 8:00am and 12:00pm (times may vary). The role involves moving throughout centres, engaging with children, and carrying equipment, so a good level of fitness and energy is important.
This position is perfect for photographers looking to supplement their current income, with opportunities for additional work as the business continues to grow.
Be part of a fun, supportive and passionate team
Ongoing training and professional development
Flexible, rewarding work that fits around other commitments
Earn a flat rate of $200 per photography shift (this includes travel)
Additional paid editing opportunities available
Work with a well-established and respected brand

Childcare or kindergarten photography
Portrait or family photography
Working in a childcare centre, kindergarten, or similar setting
Other experience working with children
Photography students and recent graduates with a natural ability to connect with children are encouraged to apply.
A minimum of 6 months professional photography experience is required for this position.
You will need:
A positive, reliable, and professional attitude
Excellent communication skills and a genuine love of working with children
The ability to work independently and as part of a team
Your own professional DSLR or mirrorless camera
A lens within the 20–70mm range (or equivalent)
