Contract tips for Boulder City photographers

• Address cancellations, rescheduling, and weather in the contract, with retainer terms that both sides understand.
• For commercial clients, spell out usage rights: where images may appear, for how long, and whether the license is exclusive.
• State the deliverables, number of edited images, and delivery date in writing, along with what happens if the event runs late.
• Name a second shooter or assistant in the contract if one will attend, and confirm whether they are your employee or a contractor.

Contracts and coverage work together: the contract sets expectations, and the policy responds when something goes wrong anyway.
