    Got a message through my Facebook business page today. Basically said “my fiance and I are getting married next October. I love your photos. Please send me a copy of your contract.”  followed by their email address. I had a hunch it was a “photographer” trying to get a copy of my contract so they could use it, or parts of it, for themselves. Clients don’t ask for a contract without discussing price…EVER. So I clicked onto her page, and sure enough she has a photography business. AND to top it off…she has pictures from her Wedding and Honeymoon!! I mean seriously??? Come on. At least be smart enough to not let me see pictures showing you are already married! Of course we are going to politely respond that we’d be happy to meet with them to discuss the contract and their special day in person. To which I am sure they will not respond….I seriously had to roll my eyes at this one.

    Also…she is definitely a Fauxtographer. Classic selective coloring, endless uninteresting nature photos (with selective coloring), bad vignettes, etc.

    haha – imagine sending you a link to her own wedding photos – some of these people are seriously dumb! And were her wedding photos in her own portfolio – she must be amazing if she could even take her own wedding photos???!

    Her wedding photos were on her personal profile. But she did have some that were from her honeymoon in her portfolio.

    It can be hard trying to write your own contracts, but with people today where everyone is an armchair lawyer, I can somewhat understand why they want to use an already existing contract instead of paying an actual lawyer to draft one up for them.

    When I first started out as a business, I went online and looked at several contract types just to make sure I had the basic wording down. Eventually, I took a compiled copy, bits and pieces of several contracts, that were free to download and use without fear of plagiarism and had a contract lawyer look over it. It is actually not as expensive as one may think it is, only cost me $150 for the proofreading and to make sure that there were no open ends or liabilities through the use of some choice words, basically it is as bulletproof as it needs to be.
    I would offer it up as a freebie, but as everyone’s business is slightly different and different states, counties and countries may render it as not as effective as it is for myself.

    The only thing I can say is this. Describe your services and payment terms in plain easy to read language, don’t try to lawyer it up without a lawyer reading it. Those big words can sometimes put you in a situation that you don’t want to be in if you’re not careful.
    There are several “free” online contract templates that you can edit, carefully and use freely. If they are just trying to copy yours word for word, they are just plain lazy.

    My husband was the one who created our contract. Doing something similar.  I let him handle the business side of things (taxes, contracts, etc), and he is good at it. Makes it nice, so I can focus on the photography part.  I would have no problem sharing my contract, with the understanding that they can’t copy it but can use it as a resource. I just don’t like the whole “sneakiness” of pretending to be a client. I am the type of person who would be happy to share information, knowledge…etc, all you have to do is politely ask and be upfront with me.
