What are the most important issues to cover in a portrait photo contract?

Question

I am planning on doing some photo sessions for friends and want to do it right. I want to have a contract, but I'm not sure what all I need to include.

What are the most important issues to cover in a photo contract?

Answer

• Pricing details, even if you are doing it for free
• Session details, when/where/etc
• What happens if you can't make the session
• What happens if you lose the images
• Model Release if you want to use the photos to promote yourself

Those are the biggies.
