Fresh 48 Hospital Photographer (with In-Person Sales) - Hinsdale, IL
About The Position
Bella Baby Photography is hiring a hospital-based photographer to photograph newborns and their families during the first 24–48 hours after birth. The role combines photography with in-person sales: the photographer helps parents feel comfortable, guides them through the portrait experience, and presents photo packages and products so families can choose keepsakes. The position works independently in a hospital while collaborating with hospital staff and the photography team, and requires warm, professional, compassionate service and respect for hospital policies, patient privacy, and newborn safety. The position is part-time, scheduled 2–3 days per week, with at least one weekday and one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday). The typical start time is 9 AM, and the day is planned to end at 5 PM, though hours may change based on the number of births and business needs. Monthly schedules are posted six weeks in advance, and some holidays are required. Hourly pay or sales commissions are guaranteed at whichever amount is higher for each pay period. Estimated earnings are $700–$1,100 per pay period, paid twice monthly, with possible tips and performance-based bonuses. Paid training and ongoing opportunities to develop photography, sales, newborn safety and care, and relationship-building skills are provided. Employment is contingent on passing a background check and drug screen.
