Newborn Model Contract Form

Thank You for inquiring about Model Call Creative Session! Often as Newborn Photographers, we need to get some tiny little baby models into the studio. There are numerous reasons for Creative Sessions. Sometimes we want to practice lighting, certain poses or create an idea that is running around in our head. We may need marketing material or possibly work on photos for a competition entry. Whatever the reason may be, you will be fully informed of everything during the process.

Creative Sessions are performed in my Shearwater Home Studio. These are NOT full newborn sessions. You will absolutely receive some beautiful photographs of your precious newborn, but the sessions will always have a purpose. As a thank you for your time, each Creative Session will come with the complimentary newborn session along with 3 free 8×10 prints. There is always the opportunity to purchase additional photos and prints from your session after you have chosen your three complementary prints, but there is absolutely no obligation too.

All families that take part in any Creative Session must be willing to sign a contract and model release to allow images taken at their newborn session to be used on my website, social media sites and competition entries.

Please fill out the following questions to continue with your Model Call Creative Session Application.

If client steals images via any method listed above, or any other method, the client will be invoiced for the cost of EACH digital image client has stolen, at photographer’s current price per digital file. Note from the photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you simply link back to my blog/website/facebook page instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them. K. Session Requests *No cameras/camcorders/any type of recording device (this includes cell phone cameras) are allowed during the session unless prior arrangement has been made between client and photographer, including a written agreement. The photographer will not continue if there are other cameras or video taping during the session. *Session starts at the agreed upon time. It is strongly encouraged that client arrives on time to the session. This allows for any last-minute feeding, changing, and relaxing before the session begins. *Please do not bring any children not being photographed to the session.
