About Us
Penny Linn Designs is a needlepoint company built on color, craft, and community. From our flagship in Rowayton, Connecticut to our newly opened shop in Chelsea, Manhattan, we design hand-painted canvases, host stitching classes and events, and connect a passionate community of needlepointers across the country. Our brand lives on a simple idea: that a beautiful, well-made thing is worth slowing down for.
The Role
We're hiring a full-time photographer to own the visual storytelling for our brand across both locations. You'll shoot everything — finished products and canvases, lifestyle and editorial campaigns, in-store events, customer moments, behind-the-scenes content, and the website. Your work will live on our e-commerce site, social channels, marketing emails, print pieces, and press features.
This is a hands-on, in-house role for someone who loves color, texture, and craft, and who can move fluidly between a tightly art-directed product shoot in the morning and a packed trunk show in the evening.

What You'll Do
- Shoot product and canvas photography for the website and catalog — clean, on-brand, color-accurate, and at scale
- Capture lifestyle and editorial imagery that brings our designs into beautifully styled real-world settings
- Photograph in-store events, classes, launches, and social content at both locations
- Create photo and short-form video content for Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and email
- Edit, retouch, color-correct, and deliver final assets on tight turnarounds
- Maintain and organize our photo library, naming conventions, and asset management system
- Collaborate with the marketing, e-commerce, and design teams on shot lists, mood boards, and seasonal campaigns
- Help develop and evolve our visual language as the brand grows
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of professional photography experience, ideally in retail, lifestyle, fashion, or a consumer brand
- A strong portfolio that shows real range — product, lifestyle, and event work
- Mastery of your own equipment (camera, lighting, tethering setup)
- Expert-level Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop; Capture One a plus
- Comfort shooting short-form video and a working knowledge of basic video editing (Premiere, CapCut, or similar)
- A great eye for color, composition, and styling — you notice the small things
- Self-directed and organized; able to manage your own shot lists, schedule, and post-production pipeline
- Warm and easy to work with on event days, where you'll be photographing customers and guests
- Willingness and ability to travel between Rowayton and Chelsea regularly, plus occasional travel for shoots and offsite events
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with needlepoint, fiber arts, or the broader craft and home goods world
- Experience with Shopify product workflows
- Light styling and prop sourcing skills
- Social-native instincts — you understand the difference between a shot for the grid, a Reel, and a hero banner
Logistics
- Full-time, in-person role based primarily in Rowayton, CT, with regular days at our Chelsea, NYC store
- Must have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation between locations
- Some evenings and weekends required for events
- Competitive salary based on experience, plus benefits and an employee discount that will absolutely get used
