Portrait Session Contract

1. Parties. This contract (the “Agreement”) is between Jen Vazquez Photography, a California Company, (referred to as “Jen Vazquez Photography", the “Photographer,” “we,” or “us”) and Julie Rossmassler “Client”) for portrait photography services (the “Services”) for the date of June 22, 2026 (the “Portrait Session”). The Photographer and the Client are the “Parties.”

2. Payments. The non-refundable payment is due upon the signing of this Agreement. Service contract damages are difficult to determine, so, this non-refundable retainer shall be considered liquidated damages and not a penalty for Cancellation (later defined).

3. Artistic Discretion; No Specific Images. Every reasonable effort will be made to take pictures you love or request, but no specific pose or photograph can be guaranteed. The Client agrees that the Photographer has sole artistic discretion in the performance of the Services, and shall not hold Photographer responsible for any specific image.

Any failure by Photographer to deliver any specific image shall not be a breach of this Agreement and shall not result in a refund of any money paid to Couple by Photographer. The Photographer shall not be required to deliver every image taken at the event, and the determination of delivered images is left solely to the Photographer’s discretion.

4. Model Release. We expect to be as in love with your Photographs as you are! Therefore you, the Client grant us, the Photographer an irrevocable, global, royalty-free license to use, display, and reproduce images of your image and likeness as an example of our work for future families, our portfolio, on our social media channels, in awards submissions, and/ or for other advertising, marketing, and commercial purposes, both online, in print, or any other medium now known or later developed. This helps us grow our small business!

The Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Photographer from and against any claims that Client may assert against the Photographer arising from, or related to, the use of any name, image, or likeness of family by the Photographer and his/ her agents and assigns. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

5. Copyright. Upon full payment of the Fees specified, Photographer assigns to the Client all rights, title, interest in, and the copyrights associated with, the Photographs taken under this Agreement. Client grants to the Photographer an irrevocable, global, royalty-free, fully paid license to use the Photographs in his or her portfolio and marketing materials in any means now known or later developed and/ or to assign this license to a third party.

6. Social Media. While not required, we would love it if you’d provide credit for each image and/or album with a link or tag:

12. Delivery and Storage. All edited images will be available for sharing, viewing, and downloading within two (2) weeks after the session.

13. Miscellaneous Terms. This Agreement may be modified only in writing and signed by both parties. It may only be assigned to The Photographer’s parent companies, subsidiaries, or successors in interest. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall be binding and enforceable. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. Any notice under this Agreement may be effected by certified mail or via email delivery to those emails used to send this Agreement. In the event any litigation, mediation, or other proceeding is initiated by any party to enforce, interpret or otherwise obtain judicial or quasi-judicial relief in connection with this Agreement, the non-prevailing party must pay all expenses and attorney's fees relating to or arising out of such proceeding, and any post-judgment or post-award proceeding including those to enforce any judgment or award resulting from any such prior proceeding. Any such judgment or award shall contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. This Agreement is to be construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California. 

Each party hereby consents to exclusive personal jurisdiction in California, and any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in or for Santa Clara County, California.
