A few questions for the pro’s on here
-
How many of you guys print your own proofs for clients? Be it portraits or wedding photography, and how many of you use professional printing services for same?
How many here use signed contracts with their clients?
Do you insist on getting paid before any photos are taken or do you invoice your clients?
Yes, i am new to the business and would just really appreciate some advice/info.
Many thanks, Stephen.

“pro” is nowdays a term used in a lot of different ways.. so this is where i am at..
am i a “pro”? … possibly not or at least not yet.. however i do charge my customers for my services hence why i am replying..
what do i do? studio portraits focusing on newborns and children (80%) Commercial work (20%).How many here use signed contracts with their clients?
* commercial clients will have a quote with all the info before the shoot. licence agreement for usage once i deliver the images.
* portraits session, i’m getting around to provide a contract before the shoot commence to be signed ahead of session.Do you insist on getting paid before any photos are taken or do you invoice your clients?
*no. commercial work paid on delivery when lucky, at times they want a 30 days invoice.
