This session is a guide for photographers to create an appropriate pricing structure and contract. We will cover the difference between line item and package pricing, invoicing, and payment structure. The contract is a central component, including essential elements and clauses on high-resolution images, payments, and dispute resolution. The agenda also provides guidance for modifying contracts and dealing with changes. For those hiring additional photographers, the second shooter agreement is discussed, and the ShootQ software is introduced to manage contracts and bookings. The business plan is the blueprint for your career path and will be addressed as method of creating and tracking goals.
