Ultimate Birth Photography Contract Bundle
The Ultimate Birth Photography Contract Bundle is meticulously crafted to provide birth photographers with essential legal documents necessary for safeguarding their business interests and setting clear expectations for clients.
This comprehensive bundle not only offers legal protection but also enhances your professional image, earning the respect and confidence of parents through transparent rules and detailed expectations.
Included in this bundle:
- Birth Portrait Service Contract: This comprehensive agreement covers all critical areas necessary to protect a photography business legally during a birth session. It includes vital clauses such as non-refundable payment terms with liquidated damages language, payment and completion schedules, coverage details, on-call schedule, hospital restrictions, cancellation policy, pre-consultation terms, artistic rights, copyright and reproduction provisions, client usage guidelines, social media policies, photography and videography restrictions, failure to perform clauses, substitute photographer agreements, standard price lists, travel and overage fee terms, and miscellaneous legal provisions.
- Birth Portrait Model Releases: This bundle includes a standard model release form for general photography usage and publicity rights, as well as two limited releases—one allowing clients to choose specific photographs for release and the other excluding certain contents from publication, such as specific birthing positions.
- Print Release: This customizable form outlines the client's permissions regarding the printing of digital files while reiterating copyright laws and restricting commercial usage.
- Product Delivery Acknowledgement: This document binds the client to accepting final products as is, with all sales being final and no refunds given.
- Back-Up Birth Photographer Contract: Protects the relationship and outlines expectations for the backup birth photographer in the event they need to cover the birth event.
- Privacy of Photographs Agreement: For clients who wish to restrict the sharing of their photographs, this document increases their confidence and protects their publicity rights, functioning similarly to a non-disclosure agreement.
- Payment Plan Contract Bundle: Empowers photographers to offer payment plans for larger sales, including a payment plan contract, authorization to charge, and guidance for handling larger amounts of money while servicing clients.
- Permission to Sell: Allows clients to grant the photographer permission to sell photographs from their event to private third parties, defining uses, restrictions on purchasers, and specific images sold.
- Final Sale Contract: Protects sales by preventing issues such as client amendments or cancellations after orders have been placed.
By utilizing these expertly drafted documents, birth photographers can ensure legal compliance, mitigate risks, and maintain professional standards while delivering exceptional service to their clients.

- Why choose TheLawTog?
Headed by Rachel Brenke, TheLawTog is the only dedicated resource for photographers. With practicing lawyers, business consultants, CPA, financial planners (and more!) you’ll get information with first-hand experience to help your photography business.
- Can I edit the contracts?
Yes! They come as .doc files so you can fill-in-the-blank, remove or add what you need. We provide options and headings to easily allow for editing.
- Can I use these contracts if not in the US?
TheLawTog®’s contract forms are drafted on general American law-based contract principles and are applicable to many states. Due to variations in law based on location and business policies, the contracts are editable and easily adaptable. If you are a photographer outside the US, the policies may be implemented for your business, but U.S. Federal Copyright laws and other legal theories may not apply. For example, in the United States, unless otherwise contracted, the photographer retains copyright ownership of images. However, in other countries, the law may give the copyright ownership to the client and necessitate a provision for transfer.
