Product Description
If you are photographing seniors for free or for income, you NEED to be legal. It not only protects your clients, but it protects YOU as well. Did you know that most photographers only establish contracts AFTER they’ve had a legal crisis? Yikes. Let’s talk about what legal issues you could avoid by just having the right contracts and releases in place:
• What if your senior client accidentally breaks their ankle on their session with you?
• What if your parent client decides that they suddenly don’t want to pay your prices… AFTER you’ve already completed the session?
• When you’ve just completed a beautiful session, but your client now doesn’t want you to post any of her images.
• When your client has printed her photos from a kiosk without your permission.
• When your client doesn’t pay on their payment plan.
• When your client doesn’t like their images and no longer wants to pay.
• When your client says they can’t pay you… for a few months.
• When your client disappears when payment is due.
• When your client scans the images in their album to use as prints or posts them on social media.
• When your client wants to dictate how the session will go.
All of these issues are REAL reasons why so many photographers have finally decided to invest in the legality of their business by purchasing contracts written by an actual attorney that works with photographers every day. Rachel Brenke of The LawTog is an active practicing lawyer for photographers who intimately understands laws that impact people just like you.
What you need to know about these contracts:
• Lawyer-drafted. Photographer approved.
• No recurring fees – just one time payment
• Open in a doc editing program (such as word or notepad)
• Copy & paste into any online system or print for paper use
