An LLC lets you sign client contracts and take payment as a business, with your personal assets kept separate if a job goes wrong.

## Your images

Copyright in your photos starts with you. If you want the LLC to own them, that takes a written assignment. Many photographers keep it personal and license images through the company.

## Sales tax

Some states tax prints and some tax photography services. Check yours before you set your prices.

## Questions

Do I still need a contract with clients?

Yes. An LLC limits who is liable, and a contract sets what you owe the client. They do different jobs.
