Newborn Photography Contract
A newborn photography contract is a services agreement for a portrait session focused on infants, including timing, safety practices, and delivery of edited images. Use this when a photographer schedules posed or lifestyle newborn sessions within the first weeks after birth. It covers rescheduling around medical issues, studio hygiene, and parent release for gallery use.
