In celebration of Spring, I wanted to offer up a free desktop wallpaper of an image I shot yesterday afternoon near the close of a very special day out with my 8-year-old son to one of our favourite spots. I know whenever I look at this photograph I will be vividly reminded of laying in the grass with my camera, my son writing in the mud with sticks nearby, the entire world quiet and alive. What are some of your most cherished places to spend time? Hope you enjoy the photograph, and have a lovely weekend!

These forms were written for ALL business types, to be used either as a starting point or word for word; for those who don’t have time to do the research and writing themselves, or for those who are fantastic writers but aren’t sure where to begin or how to organize. I did extensive research in creating these documents, including studying (in great detail) the forms and contracts of photographers from varying locations. There are sample images and a free download posted below to give you an idea of what’s included! Many photographers email me, some even call me on the phone to ask for advice personally. I’ve had phone calls from Canada and even Australia! They are the people who inspired me to offer these forms. My own documents are streamlined and tailored to suit ME, yet the documents I sell HAVE to appeal to the widest range of photographers possible….. from freelance documentary photographers, to newborn photographers. Some people aren’t even sure which direction they want to go and the wide range of content in these forms help showcase those different aspects as well. *Please note that the business section of the forms is a RESOURCE FOR PLANNING and not an actual business plan; it is an outline with useful links and tips to get you started and was not factored into the price of the package. The bulk of this package is contracts, marketing, strategy, organizing, and establishing relationships with your clients. I will be offering a separate, detailed business plan in the future!* :) BE SURE TO CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO SEE ALL
