My contract is completely in my favor

I wonder, Joy, if you would be so kind as to post a copy of your contract? The Business and Marketing section of this Forum would probably be the best place. My contract could probably use some updating and I'd love to see what you have in place.
In a former life I was a marketing and sales person in a couple of high tech firms. I think that's why I'm comfortable with it, and sometimes it's a nice change after being at the easel for days at a stretch.
I've thought long and hard about my pricing. Until very recently all my commisions have been in the Seattle area, where painted portraiture is almost completely unknown and is compared with portrait photography when it comes to the price. I find I need to sit down and clarify with my clients exactly why this is several times more expensive than what they can get at the local photo studio. Sometimes they get it and sometimes they don't.
