More details to this question:
I am a 14 year old photographer with my own photography business. I have been doing photography professionally for two years with mutual friends and family. I do weddings, portraits, family's, and commercial work for business. I want to create a contract to protect me and my clients for when I am on the job. I was wondering how I can have a contract involved even though I am not the legal age to create a contract.

As a minor, you can enter into contracts but they are voidable at your option, so adults would be wary of contracting with you. Perhaps one way to accomplish what you want is to have an adult relative contract with the customers, and then engage you to perform the photography. While your contract with this adult, say your parent, would be voidable by you, presumably a family member would be willing to take that chance, and their contract with the customer would be valid.
