The contents
What is inside
Six client documents as real, editable Word files. Not a Canva link. Not a PDF you cannot change.
- Welcome Email — the reply that makes an inquiry feel handled, sent the same day
- Pre-Session Questionnaire — 16 questions, including what they want, what worries them, what they will wear, and the shots they must have
- Session Day Checklist — so nothing is forgotten while you are concentrating
- Delivery Email — handing over the gallery like a professional, with the note that asks for the review
- Client Contract — services, payment with a non-refundable retainer, copyright and usage with a non-exclusive license, delivery timeline, tiered cancellation and rescheduling, limitation of liability, overtime only when both of you agree on the day, meals, force majeure, an electronic-signature clause, and signature and printed-name lines for up to two clients
- Model Release — checkbox permissions for portfolio, website, social, editorial and commercial use, plus a line for what the person does NOT consent to, plain-English terms, a section for a minor, and lines for up to three people
Three of the six are the ones you send to the client — the questionnaire, the contract and the release. The welcome email, the session checklist and the delivery email are written for you to read and adapt, not to forward as they are.

Read this before you buy
These are carefully written starting points. They have not been reviewed by a lawyer and are not legal advice. Laws differ by state and by country. Read them, adapt them to how you actually work, and have a lawyer in your jurisdiction review them before you rely on them for anything that matters. They deliberately do not cover governing law, jurisdiction, late-payment interest or data protection. Nothing here is legal advice and no lawyer-client relationship is created by buying it.
The paperwork a photographer sends
Contracts, model releases, questionnaires, client emails, pricing sheets and shot lists. Real .docx you open and change line by line.
