Invoicing for Photographers
Deposits upfront. Final payment on delivery. Photography invoices that actually work.
Create a branded invoice in 60 seconds — session fee, editing, delivery, usage rights. Send with a payment link. Clients pay by card before you deliver the gallery. No more chasing.
Free. No monthly fee. 3% + $0.30 when they pay.
You delivered the gallery. They haven’t paid yet.
It’s the most common story in photography. Client loves the photos. You send the invoice. Then you wait. And follow up. And wait again.
The problem isn’t the client — it’s the process. An invoice with no easy way to pay turns a motivated buyer into someone who’ll “get to it this weekend.” A payment link removes that friction entirely. Client pays in 90 seconds from their phone. Gallery delivered. Done.
Every shoot is different. Your invoice should match.
Common photography invoice line items:
- Session fee — half-day, full day, hourly rate
- Retouching / editing — per image or flat package fee
- Digital gallery delivery — full resolution download, gallery hosting
- Print package — 8x10s, albums, canvas, wall art
- Rush delivery — premium for faster turnaround
- Travel fee — mileage or flat rate for destination work
- Second shooter — separate line if applicable
- Licensing / commercial usage rights — usage fee beyond personal
- Deposit (already paid) — deduct upfront deposits as a negative line item
Collect the deposit first. Final payment before delivery.
Send two invoices: one for the deposit (typically 25–50% at booking), one for the balance before you hand over the gallery. Both have payment links. Both land in your Holdings account automatically.
No awkward conversations. No Venmo. No “can you send me the PayPal link again?”
A payment link means they pay now, not “this weekend.”
Every invoice you send includes a payment link. Client clicks it from their phone — same place they just saw your preview — and pays by card in under two minutes.

Your income tracks itself — shoot by shoot.
Every payment lands in your books as revenue automatically. At the end of the year, you know exactly what each client paid, what each shoot generated, and what your P&L looks like. No spreadsheet. No shoebox of receipts.
Your next shoot is booked. Invoice them now.
