Just came across your channel and really enjoying the content. I’ve been getting really deflated recently regarding my business and the direction it’s going in. Lots of what you say is helping me piece together a plan of action, so thank you for that. Just signed up to your FB group so really looking forward to being able to utilise that. Thanks
Here is a big chunk of whats in my contract, what do you think? The client(s) understand that due to the artistic nature of this photography service, that there is no guarantee that the client(s) will find 100% of the photographs artistically pleasing, which in such case will not entitle the client(s) to any discounts or refunds. The photographer will to the best of his ability deliver photographs that will be in his own judgment artistically pleasing. The client(s) understand that factors outside of the photographer’s control may occur that can affect the artistic look of the photographs such as weather conditions, time of day, event location, event rules, event lighting, participation of the subjects of photographs, and amount of time given to the photographer. The client(s) understand that there is no promised specific amount of finished photographs as the final quantity varies based on the length of time of the event and number of guests. For example a 2 hour event could yield 90 photographs and a 12 hour event could yield 540 however the amount could be higher or lower. The client(s) understand that no digital raw files (unedited photographs) are released, and only edited photographs that the photographer has judged worthy of being been seen are released.
Do you have an example contract of this nature where we can see how it should be worded and then obviously, of course, have it checked by a lawyer in our state... but, I'd sure love to see a copy of what this looks like.
Is there a secure way to have an e-signed e-contract? No contact options are ideal for many photographers today and some with busier schedules may forgo in person consultations . I would say have them sign day of the shoot but there are things I would like to include in my contract that are time sensitive (ei: I ask that clients pay a deposit upfront but that they pay this no later than a week before their shoot to reserve their date) and so they would need to have access to this contract in advance. Personally as a grad student who also has an additional part-time job with social anxiety on top of it all sometimes it would be difficult to make time for an in person consultation and I personally prefer only seeing my clients one time. This may change in the future but I’m hoping I can do this all digitally
So, would I be able to write a contract including all these clauses and print it myself and have it be ligit or does it have have be notarized or something legal done to it?
What makes it legit is if it is enforceable - so the wording is important for your state and country - which is why I recommend you have a lawyer review if you create your own or check out The Legal Paige for photography contracts discount: JOY10
@@Joymichelle okay thanks! I will check it! I was asking mainly because things are really tight right now and I can't really afford to buy a contract or hire a lawyer. But thank you so much!!
I personally will only sign a contract for wedding images with the couple getting married - but this is up to you and you can ask your lawyer for specifics :)
Only on Instagram? No wonder I missed it. You should do a mailing list and have links. I am trying to develop a contract for headshots, that is difficult.
