THE ANTI-START-FROM-SCRATCH METHOD

Templates for photographers

I know you're amazing, but...

You don't have to do it all yourself.

You can only be great at a certain number of things, so take the stuff you’re NOT good at—drafting legal contracts, writing emails from scratch—and solve that problem in a snap with a ready-to-use template.

More templates are coming soon!

Templates: details and what's inside

LEGAL CYA

Contract & Policies Template

★★★★★

Many photographers make the mistake of cramming too much into their contracts, using dense legal language that clients often skim without fully understanding.

There’s a smarter way: Keep the contract for essential legal coverage, then create a separate, easy-to-read document outlining your key policies—like turnaround times, cancellations, no-shows, and editing. In the contract, simply note that by signing, clients agree to these policies.

This means more clients will read the policies, which means fewer misunderstandings and happier clients. Yay!

This template is available in two formats: PDF/DOC or Honeybook Smart File.  

Policies included

  • Location and delivery
  • Usage rights
  • Travel expenses
  • Cancellation, rescheduling, no-shows
  • Style and consistency
  • Weather-related issues
  • Raw images
  • Model release and privacy
  • And much more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Mind your p's and faq's

Can I customize them?

Absolutely! I expect you to adjust these to fit your brand and style. They are a starting point, so you can edit any part to sound like you and meet the specific needs of your clients. Edits to the contract language, beyond customizing it with your business info, should be made with care. 

How are they delivered?

You’ll receive a download link by email right after purchase.

Are they guaranteed to work?

While these templates are crafted based on best practices and real-world success, results vary based on your own style and client base. Think of these as a strong foundation for you to build on!

What's your refund policy?

Due to the nature of digital products, all sales are final. If you have questions before purchasing, feel free to reach out so I can help you feel confident in your decision.

Can I share these with other photographers?

This purchase is for individual use only, so I kindly ask that you do not share the files. If you know someone who would benefit from these templates, please refer them to my shop!

Do I need a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform, like Honeybook, to use the templates?

Nope! I’ll give you the words to use, how you send ’em is up to you. To use the auto-responder email, you need an inquiry form on your website and the ability to send a confirmation email when the client hits send.
