Here is a little from our AMAZING, HARD WORKING, WONDERFUL, BUBBLY summer intern Brooke. Oh how we are going to miss this girl, we have begged her to stay in Memphis and just keep rocking her gig with us, but she is off to Knoxville, TN for college and we know she is going to do AMAZING things. Brooke thank you for all your hard work, your willingness to do whatever it takes, holding ALL THE BAGS, playing with siblings during newborn sessions, patting little babies to sleep to get the perfect shots and throwing veils. You will be missed and were the BEST way for KNP to start the internship program. Everyone will have BIG shoes to fill once you leave!
” I applied for the KNP Summer Intern because I love to take pictures and I wanted to learn more and how the KNP team makes all the magic happen. The KNP team is more like the KNP FAMILY! You are definitely in a family atmosphere. Not because of how much you work with families but because with each thing the team does, whether at a shoot or in the office, you can see how they love what they are doing and who they are doing it with!
My biggest takeaway from my internship with KNP is that photography is a whole lot more than just clicking a button on your camera! Another takeaway I had was how important it is to love what you do! These girls love their jobs so when you are all working hard, you are still having fun!
The most shocking thing I learned at KNP was that there are several days were photographers don’t touch their camera! There are SO SO many things that go on behind the scenes that I had never realized! I think you should apply to be a KNP intern because you get to learn SO much about photography, business, social media, and you are also surrounded by such awesome ladies!”
-Brooke Foreman, Summer Intern 2019
We can’t wait to hear from y’all!!
