211. How to Customize One Portrait Contract for Every Type of Session
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.
