Description

If you’re a photographer who shoots a little bit of everything—families, seniors, boudoir, maternity, newborns, surprise proposals—you do not need a brand-new contract for every single type of session. You just need one strong core contract and the right clauses to plug in.

In this episode of the Legally Legit® Podcast, I’m walking you through how to use the TLP Portrait Photography Contract as your foundation, and then customize it with our brand-new clause bundles. Think of it like a Barbie doll—you don’t need 12 dolls, you just need one with different outfits you can swap depending on the session.

Here’s what I cover:

  • Why a one-size-fits-all contract isn’t enough to protect you legally
  • What your core portrait photography contract should include (fees, cancellation, artistic style, image delivery, model releases, liability, etc.)
  • The difference between wedding contracts and portrait contracts (you need both)
  • The brand-new Clause Bundles we’ve created at TLP and when to use them:
  • How to plug these clauses into your contract once and save different versions in your CRM so you’re not reinventing the wheel each time
  • Why clause bundles are more affordable than buying multiple full-length contracts (but just as legally legit).

At the end of the day, your contracts should be as versatile as you are. If you’re a multi-passionate photographer, you deserve a contract system that saves you time, money, and stress—while still protecting your business.
