Senior photos are a big deal. They're not just another school picture. They celebrate a huge milestone for high school graduates while boosting their self-esteem.

As senior portraits become more elaborate, the process can be increasingly overwhelming for photographers. From contracts and release forms, to social media usage and printing rights, the complexities are intimidating.

That's why we offer affordable senior contracts tailored to photographers just like you. Our team of lawyers and photographers at TheLawTog® develop, review, and approve every contract and release form.

We think this is a pretty awesome combo—legal expertise and photographer know-how.

Whether you're starting out, shooting for free, or an experienced professional, it is important to protect your business with clear and comprehensive senior photography contracts.

In fact, industry-leading photographer Amanda Holloway endorses TheLawTog® by saying, “Rachel Brenke [and team] are my legal touchstone. Without her, I would not be able to protect my business or intellectual property in a way that I can be sure will stand up in court. I'm so glad that she's on my team!”
