Created by attorneys, this Photographing a Minor Clause Template is designed to be seamlessly integrated into an existing Senior Photography Contract or Portrait Photography Contract when minors will be photographed. It ensures that photographers obtain clear parental acknowledgment before capturing images of minors while reinforcing the requirement that a parent or legal guardian must be present throughout the session. Note: This clause is NOT a Model Release. This clause only grants permission for the minor to be photographed but does not include any legal language relating to the commercial use of those images. If you are looking for that product, our Model Release Form is for you and grants your company permission to use images for commercial use. This Photographing a Minor Clause Template Is Best Suited For This clause is best suited for photographers shooting portrait sessions. For example: - Senior Portrait Photographers – You’re photographing a 17-year-old high school senior, and their mom needs to give written consent before you can proceed. This clause ensures she acknowledges the requirement and stays in attendance at the session.- Family Photographers – A couple books a family session for only their two young kids (the parent or parents will not be in the photos). This clause clarifies that at least one parent must be present during the shoot, preventing any drop-off situations. This Photographing a Minor Clause Template Protects Against Situations Like - Parents dropping off their minor senior child for a session. - An unauthorized additional minor or adult present at a session without the parent’s consent and with no notice to the photographer. → Click the “What's Included” tab to see more!
