My Name is Hannah
Olson and I am a senior Pho
tography major.
While looking
for an
in
ternship my roomma
te Sarah Deaner
told me about her great experience working wi
th Sean Scheidt and I immedia
tely emailed him hoping
to embark on a journey
to have
the
same experience. Sean got back
to me
quickly, we set up a
time
to grab co
ffee and he hired me right away!

Sean is a
freelance pho
tographer who works wi
th
many great clien
ts and is climbing
quickly in his
field! He worked wi
th me
teaching
me every s
tep of
the way as well as always being patient wi
th me if I didn’t unders
tand some
thing
right away. I have learned so much
working wi
th Sean, such as how
to run myself as a business and learn how
to ne
twork
be
tween clien
ts. My experience included a
lot
of cover shoo
ts or spread
shoo
ts wi
th
Girls Li
fe magazine, which were some of my
favori
te
times working
for Sean. As well as a jewelry campaign
that we sh
ot

hands on and I learned a lot
that day
about
the impor
tance of s
tyling, ligh
ting, set
design and more.
I am so
happy that I got to work with Sean, I have learned what it means to be a freelance photographer, and despite the
hardships of the job, Sean has
inspired me to follow my dreams and never stop working.
