I realize the best resource is a lawyer, but aside from that.
How did you write your contracts for your photography business? Are there resources out there to help me write my own contracts and model releases? Are there any exceptional templates you have found?
What are key things I should include in the contract? What are key things I should be aware of?
Areas of interest specifically are rights to photos, payments and use of photos in portfolio.
Answer
You could try the book "Business and Legal Forms for Photographers"
The perfect answer to your question might be multiple answers. If you are looking for a model release you will want a different contract then a wedding for example.
Digital Photography School has an example contract here. As well as some tips here.
Personally if you want to go the cheap route I would browse and copy a few that you find online, and build it to the best of your knowledge. Overall you want to make sure you don't get sued or lose your house over a failed photography shoot, but to make sure of that the only way is to hire a lawyer.
