A client for less than 500$ what should be in contract?
To me, contracts are very intense things that should have a lot of specific important words. For something as simple as a birthday party that will only be costing around five hundred dollars, it can be much more simple than that.
The contract should definitely include what exactly the photographer will be held liable to photograph. So if he or she needs to be there for specific shots. For example, if he/she needs to be there when the birthday kid opens their gifts, or when the birthday cake is brought out. The photographer can be held liable for those shots if they are not taken properly, and the client is expecting to see them.
They also need to of course be specific on the length of time that they are supposed to be photographing the party. If they are not quite specific sure enough it will get drug out for a longer amount of time than expected. You will hear the client say, "Oh, can you stay just a little longer please? We haven't gotten to opening the gifts yet?" And if it is not stated in the contract how long you are supposed to be there, then they can ask you to stay to finish the job.
One of the most important parts to the contract will also need to be stated how much the photographer is charging for exactly what the client will be receiving. If the photographer is charging five hundred dollars, for what exactly? Is it for the photographer showing up for 2 hours? Or is for the photographer to show up for two hours, and provide the client with a CD of images? It needs to be specific.
And last but not least there needs to be a signature. It needs to be legitimate. Get your client to sign!
