become an integral member of the TRPF team while learning the SKILLS you need to GROW in the photography &/or WEDDING industry

We are always down to have new friends join the team! After beginning TaylorRae Education in 2022 we started taking on college interns to help with the work overload and it's been awesome to not only have the help but be able to teach these students how to do these important administrative tasks that I had to learn all on my own.
In the last couple of years I've also had several photographers and aspiring business owners say that their budget is the only thing standing in the way of TaylorRae Education's mentorships.
And because we want to see these kinds of entrepreneurs built up and thrive, we have decided to open the internship to non-college students and include 3 mentor sessions so you can not only learn by doing but also through getting your questions answered for your own business and dreams! This way you can choose to invest with either your finances OR your time to make your business a success.

HOW CAN I GET COLLEGE CREDIT?

you are responsible for reaching out to your student services counselor to select an internship elective credit. In my experience, as it's an elective credit, your degree does not need to be connected photography or business to receive credit. Credit hours are based on the number of hours interning for selected small business.

KIND WORDS

I learned so much!! As an aspiring photographer, there are so many skills I was able to pick up; I was able to learn and use programs I had no idea existed like HoneyBook, Tailwind, and Showit and see how useful they can be for a business! I was also able to enhance my skills with Canva and Pinterest which will come in handy for me. Most importantly, I learned how to interact with clients and really be there to serve and assist them with their big day. I learned so much valuable information I will take with me, but one thing that really stood out to me was the heart behind this business. The wedding photography industry is one you must have a passion for, and Taylor Rae and Josh are two of the most passionate, servant-hearted, kind, people I have ever met and had the privilege of working with. They  are so understanding and accommodating, especially with my school schedule. I had so much fun working for them. Their love for Christ, each other, and love itself is so evident in the work that they do, and that is the most inspiring work that they do, that I will take with me as I move on from this internship.

"I THRIVE off the environment she provides!"

"I needed help with my wedding packages, how to book more weddings, what to do when I book a wedding, and so on and so forth. TaylorRae walked me through the whole wedding process, I had so much fun, and I think my business benefited a ton! TaylorRae is the wedding QUEEN! She’s super knowledgable, very approachable, and bubbly! I thrive off the environment that she provides! I learned so much from her and I benefited so much from this mentorship and I would highly recommend any photographer to do a mentorship with TaylorRae! "

"TaylorRae has been so helpful in teaching me some of the ways to effectively use social media and digital design to further my small business. I've come leaps and bounds in the last year through our conversations. She's a great person to have on your team. Also, her positive vibes are so encouraging - especially when you're first starting out!"

"I've come LEAPS and BOUNDS in the last year through our conversations."

" I know I can trust you. I felt heard."

I was struggling with clients ghosting me and the client experience that I offer. Everything about the experience was great. Super thorough as always! Your wisdom in any area is great and I know I can trust you. I felt heard and you accommodated and you helped me change my process perfectly. I highly recommend you and would schedule more sessions in the future hands down! I’ve learned so much from you.

"I have worked with dozens of photographers, but my experiences with TaylorRae have been the most valuable. I have watched her effortlessly pose and give direction to couples to capture the most romantic and natural pictures. At my most recent wedding, I was able to utilize all of the amazing tips and tricks I gleaned from Taylor Rae on posing, to give this bride the stunning photos she had dreamed of! I never knew how much I would need these skills, but I’m so glad I had taken mental notes while watching TaylorRae in action!"
