Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a release for personal gallery delivery?
Usually delivery for your private use does not require a marketing release. Marketing and ads do.
Who signs for children?
A parent or legal guardian. Ask whether both parents must sign for your situation.
Can I limit social posting?
Yes — negotiate portfolio-only, no ads, or delayed posting in writing before the session.
