Question from Lindsey: “So I have model release forms for minors and adults…I’m doing a session in the near future, where the clients are bringing their dogs…does anyone do release forms for pets??? I was thinking about doing a gallery on the website for the pets that I shoot…but I don’t know about the release of liability?? Thank you!’

Stacey:  I haven’t done any pets yet but I would say for liability reasons and just plain CYA to do it…

John:  i never did pets i guess try it

Stephanie:  I have heard that you use a property release.
