I agree with what Miguex & vaxorcist wrote above.
More to keep in mind...Do NOT agree to a work-for-hire unless you're billing north of $10-20K in fees. If you're billing them a few hundred bucks or even $1,500, do NOT let a client have you believe they should own the copyrights to the images and can have unlimited use of the images in perpetuity. That would be whoring yourself out.
In other words, be clear about what areas of use you, the copyright holder, will license to them...editorial, marketing/advertising, industrial, collateral, electronic, print, gallery prints, for-sale merchandise, promo items. Limit it and get compensated appropriately. Don't give away the shop by agreeing to/signing bad deals.
I had some delusional company approach me to shoot assignments for an extremely nominal fee and had additional plans to sell the images to other companies without further compensating me. They had that shit ass backwards. This was a company recently valued at $1Billion. Like I said...ass backwards.
