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.

And if this episode helped you, would you share it with a fellow photographer who’s juggling multiple types of sessions? The more of us who are covered and confident in our contracts, the better.
