Specify what's included
Number of edited images, delivery format (digital/print), and turnaround time. This prevents scope disputes.
Add a licensing clause
If you're licensing images for commercial use, include the license terms and any usage restrictions in the Notes field.
Require a deposit
50% upfront is standard for weddings and events. Send a deposit invoice first, then a final balance invoice on delivery.
Upload your studio logo
A logo makes your invoice look like it came from a professional studio, not a hobbyist. Use our logo upload feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I charge sales tax on photography services?
It depends on your location. In many US states, photography services are taxable. Use our tax rate field to add the correct percentage automatically.
How do I invoice for a photography deposit?
Create a separate invoice for the deposit amount (e.g., 50% of total). In the Notes field, write 'Deposit invoice — balance of $X due on delivery.'
Can I add my photography watermark to the invoice?
Our invoice generator lets you upload your studio logo — it appears at the top of every invoice. The PDF itself has no watermarks from us.
