Do you have your clients sign contracts? All of them, or just large events?
I have a wedding coming up next month (eep! Butterflies in tummy) and I have really thought over that I NEED a contract. I will be putting a lot of time and money into this for extra batteries, lens rental, etc. I want to make sure A. I get paid and B. if for whatever reason the wedding doesn't go as planned, I won't be out any money and C. I don't get my house and home taken from me if they decide to sue for any reason (I live in the US... people are sue happy... KIDDING KIDDING my fellow Americans :P)
Any advice in what to include? Or even better, a sample contract you want to share? :D I have been compiling from internet sources (to include wedding jargon and model release jargon, etc) but it would be really helpful to hear from people I "know". Thank you all so much!
My email is nicole@nicolekosphotography.com if you would like to send me a sample... pretty please?
There are some good forms packages available online (for a fee). Try Skye Hardwick (Soulographer) for a USA-suitable contract form, or contact your national pro photog association. My contracts are very Australian, so probably not entirely suitable for your laws over there.
@eyebrows Hahaha! Well, since the negative/south end of a magnet is drawn to the positive charge, doesn't that really mean that Australia is on top of the world?
