What kind of paperwork will I need for doing portraits? Obviously some sort of receipt or invoice for the customer. What about a contract or anything for family or senior portraits?

The book Business and Legal Forms for Photographers (external link) has everything you need. Includes "fill in the blanks" contracts on CD in Word, Wordperfect and txt formats.

It includes the CD - at least when I bought it at Borders. It appears to come with the CD when bought through Amazon. I found it worth it, and of the 9 "reviews" that it was given on Amazon, the lowest rank it received was one "4 out of 5 Stars", the rest were 5 of 5.

I don't have the actual disk with me, but looking at the back of the book it states, "Requires Microsoft Word 95 or WordPerfect 6.1 or later for the PC; Microsoft Word 6.0 or later or WordPerfect 3.0 or later for the Macintosh."

Based on that, I would assume it opens in the Mac, but you need the correct word processing software to manipulate it.

The book and CD arrived yesterday. Very nice book and the CD is great!!!

One question though....

In the portrait contract there is no part saying if someone hurts them self in my studio that they can not take me to court.

Is this important??

I think you will find you can not waiver certain types of liabilities....and you can always be taken to court even if there is a "contract". Jim

The above statement is true, we as photographers can't have our cake and eat it too.

Do what you can to reduce injury, putting people up on a ladder in your studio will bring more lawsuits then people tripping and falling by themself.
