Most shoots take place Monday-Saturday in the afternoons and evenings , so strong afternoon/evening availability is important. March-May is our peak season , with consistent full-time hours. Hours vary more throughout the rest of the year based on our shoot schedule. Some months, much of our work takes place at our studio in Millcreek . Other months involve frequent travel to dance studios and locations, typically within about one hour of Salt Lake City .
