"You're just a photographer. You're really just there to capture the moments, but sometimes it might not happen." 

Hi Sunshines!!! ☀️Welcome back to another episode of The Gold Biz Podcast! Our special guest this week is Paige Griffin, or you may know her as “The Legal Paige.” Paige Griffith is a lawyer and the founder of The Legal Paige, a company that provides legal resources and contract templates specifically tailored for photographers. With her expertise in the photography industry, Paige helps photographers navigate the legal aspects of their business and ensure they have comprehensive contracts in place.

In this chat, Paige and I dive into the crucial contract clauses that photographers sometimes overlook. We're talking about five essential areas that will truly brighten up your legal game: the "no downgrade" clause, a crystal-clear cancellation policy, the "no pose or photo guarantee" clause, creating a harassment-free and safe work environment, and those oh-so-vital clauses related to copyright ownership and photograph privacy. Paige emphasizes how these little legal rays of sunshine can protect you and make sure you and your clients are on the same page.

This episode is absolutely overflowing with precious knowledge to help you guard your photography passion like it's the most valuable treasure!
