Who this list is for
This checklist is for a solo photographer selling smartphone photo packages to local businesses. It helps you set up a clear service and repeatable client workflow before you book shoots for listings or social content.
How to use this list
Start with business registration and general liability insurance. Then define the service menu for listings and social content and build a pricing sheet by photo package. Set up the client booking form, shot list questionnaire, photo usage agreement, and property release form before accepting a date. Prepare the smartphone with high-quality camera, backup smartphone, portable phone tripod, clip-on wide-angle lens, LED pocket light, and power bank. Finish with an online portfolio page and cloud photo delivery folder template.
Common mistakes
Do not treat a client’s booking as permission to use images in your portfolio. Use the property release form and photo usage agreement for the intended use. Do not arrive with only one phone or no power bank. A backup smartphone and charged power bank protect a paid appointment. Avoid vague packages; the pricing sheet should match the service menu.
What is on this list
You will find the business registration, insurance, service menu, package pricing, booking form, and delivery folder template. It also covers practical shoot gear such as the tripod, wide-angle lens, LED pocket light, and backup smartphone. Cross off what you already own or have in place, then complete the missing client documents.
Before you go
Review the shot list questionnaire, confirm the booking details, and make sure the applicable photo usage agreement and property release form are ready. Charge both phones and the power bank, pack the tripod, lens, and light, and create the cloud delivery folder before the appointment.
