| THIS POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED... SCROLL DOWN TO READ ABOUT THE TWO THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FILLED YET. |
LOCAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER (WILMINGTON, NC)
Millie Holloman Photography is seeking a part-time portrait photographer for our local market. This position is designed as an on-going, long-term, part-time job. It will start out as a part-time position with the potential to become full-time at some point in the future. (No guarantees or time frames can be given and you should not apply for this position if you must have full-time work!)
You must live in the Wilmington area and be available to work a flexible schedule during regular, evening and weekend hours. Your hours and your salary will be determined by the amount of portrait sessions you do. Due to our non-compete requirements, you will not be able to run your own photography business on the side should you be selected for this position.
The ideal candidate is a photographer with a great eye who can adapt his or her style of shooting to the MHP signature style. You should enjoy working with children, have a fun and spontaneous personality, be flexible and adaptable to a wide range of working conditions, and be willing to learn. Knowledge of shooting in manual is a plus but not required, as it can be taught.
As our local Wilmington-based portrait photographer, you will work closely with Millie on a new business venture. You should be prepared to invest effort and energy in helping the MHP team get your book of business up and running. This will include but not be limited to: networking, expo and trade show participation, in-house training, concept styling, and more. The position is ideally suited to someone who has a strong interest in both the creative and the business sides of portrait photography.
Once you have called the number below and followed all of the instructions indicated in the voicemail, please email me a portfolio of at least 30 images to hire@millieholloman.com.
There should be a time lapse of no more than 24 hours between leaving a message at the number below and sending your portfolio via email. In an ideal world, you would not leave a phone message until the portfolio is ready to send. Title your email message: "Portrait Photography Portfolio, (Your Name)". Be sure to include your name (as left on the voicemail) and your contact information in the body of the email as well.
If you are interested in becoming a Part-Time Portrait Photographer with Millie Holloman Photography call 910.795.1831 to apply. Salary: contract-paid and commission-based commiserate with the amount of shooting you do. Be prepared to start slowly and increase your income as your book of business and reputation build with our help and support. MHP does not provide benefits for contract employees.
NOTE: Do not call the office, email, or facebook me... simply call the phone number and follow ALL of the directions to apply. |
SECOND SHOOTERS
MHP Photography is currently seeking part-time second shooters to contract in the following areas: Raleigh, Charlotte, and Wilmington. Our hope is to add 3 second shooters to our team, each assigned to an individual photographer within our company. Your schedule would be established a month or more in advance. You could be working up to 30 Saturdays/Sundays per year, and could work some weekends more than others, i.e., 4 weddings in one month during peak season and no weddings during a month in off-season.
The perfect candidate for this position would be someone who has a full-time or part-time job doing something other than photography during the week, and would like consistent weekend work. You would assist and second shoot for an MHP Photographer. We are looking someone who can commit long-term (1-2 years+); this is not a portfolio building opportunity. You will be required to sign a non-compete agreement. Any images you shoot will be owned by Millie Holloman Photography. There may be potential for further growth within our company, but no guarantees or time frames can be given.
The ideal candidate is able to take direction well, work in a fast-paced environment, carry heavy bags and equipment, help set up lighting and equipment, act as a runner at events, stand for 6-8 hours, exhibit strong customer service skills and interact pleasantly with clients and co-workers. You must have a positive, team-oriented attitude and be willing to support the photographer you assist in a myriad of ways. You also must be willing to travel.
You must have a passion for photography, a good eye for detail, good composition skills, intermediate camera skills, a teachable spirit, and a cooperative attitude.
Once you have called the number below and followed all of the instructions indicated in the voicemail, please email me a portfolio of at least 30 or more images to hire@millieholloman.com. You can send images or links to images. Remember that you applying to be a second shooter at weddings--your portfolio should include images of people and images of details so that we can get a feel for how your work would translate into an MHP wedding shoot.
There should be a time lapse of no more than 24 hours between leaving a message at the number below and sending your portfolio via email. In an ideal world, you would not leave a phone message until the portfolio is ready to send. Title your email message: "Second Shooter Portfolio, (Your Name)". Be sure to include your name (as left on the voicemail) and your contact information in the body of the email as well.
If you are interested in becoming a Second Shooter with Millie Holloman Photography call 910.795.1828 to apply. Salary: $100-200 per wedding depending on skill and experience level. This position will require you to complete training at a series of weddings without pay; you will also sign a non-compete agreement. You must be available to work consistently on weekends.

I recently was invited to be a part of The Balcony's Open House which is undoubtably the best bridal event in Wilmington, NC! I'm always excited to see what amazing things they do with the space. For this open house I was paired with Jennifer from Salt Harbor Designs (love them)! We chatted about the best approach and came up with some fun ideas... her fruit for the theme was cherries and I thought pairing it with a polaroid photo booth would be the perfect match.
We also set up a shoot to match the theme prior to the show so that Jennifer could place the images around the room to depict the theme! Here is the collaboration of the images I shot with Jennifer's design. I'm lovin' it!
Venue: The Balcony On Dock & Roudabush Room
Design, Paper, & Florals: Salt Harbor Designs
Wooden Tables, Couches, & Chairs: Harborside Rentals

I am a planner. I make checklists. When I go on trips, I like having an itinerary. I even have back up plans for my original plans just in case. That's just who I am. And the funny thing is, no matter how much I plan, nothing is ever certain and things are always changing. In the end, I have to go with the flow.
When Shenita and Terrance decided to get married, they started planning things like every couple does. They booked their venue, booked their photographer, and even tackled the guest list. Surprisingly, another guest came into the picture, in a big way. When Shenita and Terrance found out they were having a baby, wedding plans changed. When Brent and I met up with the couple for their engagement session, we quickly learned that they had already tied the knot the day before we arrived! When I asked Shenita what the plans were for the day of the wedding day, she told me that it was going to be one big party! And it was!
Brent and I arrived at The Orchard House for Shenita and Terrance's celebration. We were greeted by Melissa and Emily who run the historic home set in the woods of Concord, NC. In fact, their family owns it and they were nice enough to give us a little history behind it. The grounds at the Orchard House were lovely and full of colorful details.
When Shenita arrived to get ready for the party, she looked so beautiful and her baby belly was adorable! Brent and I grabbed some shots of Shenita getting ready with her mom, sister and best friend. I couldn't wait for Terrance to see Shenita in her gown. I couldn't wait for the party to get started! |
| There was a lot of laughter in the room where the girls were getting ready. |
| I love this photo of Shenita with her mom. |
| While Shenita was getting ready in the Bridal room, Terrance hung out with guests in the parlor. |
| The variety of plants and flowers at The Orchard House are amazing. Not to mention the adorable personal touches the owners have included! |
| Shenita's bouquet was all white except for a beautiful pink orchid that was added in honor of the guest who switched things up--their baby girl (who will be here soon)! |
| Shenita and Terrance decided to have a first sight before the party started which I thought was wonderful. Terrance looked so cute waiting for his bride. |
| Shenita is all smiles! Is Terrance??? |
| The chocolate brown, turquoise, and white were great for the summer wedding. Thanks to Colleen Rett in Concord, NC for providing the details of the celebration! |
| In the words of the Michael Bennett, Shenita and Terrance's DJ, let's get this party started! |
| Love this ring shot! So crisp! |
| Shenita and Terrance, Brent and I had a wonderful time at your celebration and we wish you both (and your baby girl) the best! Much love to you both! |

Katherine and Chris are a lovely couple who reside here in Wilmington, NC. When I originally chatted with Katherine, she and Chris weren't too interested in the engagement session and we going to pass. I told her the importance of the session and how it helps all of us get to know one another and so they decided to take advantage of it. I am so glad they did!
Brent and I met up with them at their home right off the marsh/sound area in Wilmington. Everything was gorgeous and so peaceful! How amazing to wake up with a view of the water, lush green reeds and big trees that hang with ancient moss. It was the perfect place for pictures. The perfect place for them.
While shooting we all chatted and started to get to know one another. Chris was cracking jokes and keeping me on my toes. Katherine was very sweet and full of excitement. All in all, it was a wonderful evening making new friends. |
| I love the way Chris holds Katherine. So cozy! |
| This is just a snippet of the glorious view that Katherine and Chris enjoy. |
| Not only do Katherine and Chris have a wonderful view, but they have a lovely home as well. We thought it would be great to use the space they enjoy sharing and spending time together. |
| I <3 sweet moments between people! |
| Katherine and Chris, thanking you for sharing you home, your lives and your love! We had so much fun and can't wait to post your wedding soon! |

Ever meet someone and you instantly like who they are? Bridger and Nick fit this bill for sure! While Brent and I were taking some time away on Bald Head Island, we scheduled for Bridger and Nick to come over for their engagement session. I was so thrilled to meet them and we had the best time hanging out, laughing and just getting to know one another.
Bridger and Nick met on the shores of Wrightsville Beach, where one little question sparked their relationship, "Do you want to meet my dog bear?" Who knew that a fluffy pup and a sweet smile would carry these two to this moment! Both Bridger and Nick love the outdoors, good music and big dose of laughter. Seeing their love for one another and the excitement in their eyes is refreshing. Makes me want to squeeze my hubby a little tighter too!
When Brent and I greeted Bridger and Nick at the ferry landing we were greeted with full smiles and warm hugs. We hopped in the golf cart (no cars on the island) and wasted no time. Since Bridger and Nick both adore the water and it is where their love began, we figured it was only natural to start on the shoreline. |
| Love the series of tilt shots Brent grabbed. So fun! |
| There is adventure in everything, and sharing it with the one you love is even better. |
| While on the beach we saw this sign and just had to use it! Don't worry folks, no clothes were casted off during the making of this photo. |
| Bridger and Nick may have met on the beach, but their love has carried them away to mountains of Asheville, NC where they reside. And one of the great things about Bald Head is that it offers the beach and the natural woods. It was perfect. |
| Sometimes we like to make our clients "work" for their pictures. This time we thought it would be fun to go on a little bike ride on the island. I think they are having a good time! |
| ...then back on the road! |
| We ended the session with some time hanging out on the dock on the sound side. It was so peaceful and serene and I could have stayed there all evening. |
| Bridger and Nick, thanks for being flexible, risking/dodging thunderstorms and being such great people! Brent and I had a blast and we are looking forward to the wedding! |
