10 years ago TODAY!!

March 5, 2010

I photographed my first wedding 10 years ago today!  I remember it like it was yesterday because I was so FREAKED OUT which is not like me at all.  I used my Canon Rebel 35mm film camera and from that point on never shot with anything else but a Canon.  I was really happy with how the wedding turned out but more importantly the bride really liked them and from there I had 2 more weddings booked and the rest is as they say history…

I fell in love with weddings right there on the spot and honestly can’t believe it has been 10 years! Today I am going to celebrate by photographing Amanda’s wedding and I can’t think of better anniversary present :)

Super Awesome Fantastic Intern Search is ON!

Tab McCausland Photography is now accepting resumes to bring on one intern approximately 5-7 hours a week
to help me in the quest for cloning myself :)

Who should apply? Someone who likes being paid in Sweet Tea, Cupcakes and Knowledge, can social network with the best of them and has a head for marketing, fashion and graphic design.  Fun and outgoing, who wouldn’t mind having lunch out of the office once or twice and can stay organized at all times! Friendly, reliable and trustworthy. Sound like you? Keep reading!

Who you’ll be working with: Me! Tab McCausland, owner, and CEO of a crazy life.

What you’ll be expected to do: Work, duh! I need help with lots of things, from marketing, archiving, answering emails and inquiries, blogging, preparing shipments, ordering prints and just keeping me sane (did I mention you must be completely organized?)

The benefits: As an intern, your hours aren’t limited.   I’m also putting together a commission for my intern for any job you had a hand in booking. I’ll require about 5 hours a week of your time but you can virtually make your own hours, and are free to work more if you’d like.

Some requirements: It’s an internship – meaning you’re ready to work and learn. You’ll be required to work your 5 hours a week, preferably one day, during the day. Because of the tight-knit environment and extreme competition in this field, I prefer that you’re not already a working photographer, or have plans to be one in the next year or so. I know this is a super touchy area – but I’m looking for someone who is more of a marketing and design guru, versus a photographer in training.

(If you’re a photographer looking for training or have questions please email me at tabmccausland@gmail.com but this internship is not for you)

Programs I use (and you would also use… you should let me know what you’re familiar with and what you’re not):
Adobe Photoshop CS3, Camera RAW, Microsoft Office, Gmail, iTunes (for music that is a must),  Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress

Major props if you have experience in web design, creative (graphic) design, accounting, non-profit events/fundraising or retouching.

Length of internship: not sure yet. We’ll chat about your goals and plans and make a determination from there. We’ll both mutually agree on what benefits both of us. I’m flexible.

So  …  it’s your move! Ready to apply?

Email your resume and cover letter to:  tabmccausland@gmail.com (Subject: Intern Search)

I was very excited to photograph this event in Miami and be a part of the Super Bowl festivities.  It was crazy how many people they got in such a little space but man was it fun!  I think Jen and I only slept 3 hours in the two days but it was totally worth it!  Due to the nature and privacy of the photos I can only show a few but I hope to show more soon…..
