List photo contract

if you're a portrait photographer it's highly possible that a client contract is one of those things that you know you should have you maybe haven't got around to it yet it's on that huge long list of things that you need to do but it keeps getting demoted to a lower place on the list because you have editing to do and shoot to go to and emails to answer right because family portraits are not the same as wedding days are they let's face it most issues with portrait photography can be ironed out easily enough without anyone getting sued or something you would hope but a contract doesn't just protect you from being sued by your clients it's so much more than that and you absolutely must have one in place if you want to run your business professionally so not only does a contract protect both you and your client it also means that you can very clearly let your clients know what to expect from you and your business and you can outline what you expect from them to the fact that this is all done with a contract it means you don't have to have any of those awkward conversations with them about what will happen if they don't show up to their shoot or if they don't hear you on time you want to keep your conversations with them fun and friendly and then let the contract handle all the other stuff that no one really likes to talk about a contract really helps your client to feel more confident about engaging with you they do read it and knowing exactly what to expect at every stage that makes them feel much more comfortable and you can bet that they'll be really easy to deal with because they've accepted the terms that you've laid out for them and they also feel protected by them they know the answers no to all the questions they might have felt a little bit awkward about asking now when problems arise and if in business for long enough then of course there's going to be some bumps in the road then all you need to do is refer to your contract and go about resolving the issue in exactly the way stated in the contract you can refer your client to it and the whole thing will be a lot easier to deal with okay so hopefully you're convinced that you need a contract but what should be included in a portrait photographers contract firstly let me see that what's included in your contract will differ from what's included in another photographers contract it all depends on the way that you run your business and that's going to become clearer as I run through the things that you could include okay number one if you take a session fee upon booking is that refundable or non-refundable if the client cancels or doesn't show up number two what...
