Invoicing tips for photographers

  • 1.Always split out the session fee from post-production and licensing — it justifies the price
  • 2.For commercial work, list the usage licence as a separate line item (it can equal or exceed the shoot fee)
  • 3.Request a 50% non-refundable deposit on booking
  • 4.For weddings, structure deposits 30% on booking, 50% one month before, 20% on delivery
  • 5.Include a delivery date estimate on the invoice to manage expectations

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge GST as a photographer?

If your annual turnover is over $75,000, yes — register for GST and charge 10%. Under that threshold it is optional. The template handles both cases.

How do I price commercial usage on the invoice?

List it as a separate line item with the licence scope (e.g., "Commercial licence — web + print, 12 months, Australia"). This is how commercial photographers protect their pricing structure.

What payment terms work best for photographers?

50% deposit on booking is standard, balance due on delivery or within 7 days. For weddings, a three-stage payment plan (30/50/20) is common.

Do I need a contract as well as an invoice?

Strongly recommended — the invoice covers what is owed, but a contract covers usage rights, deliverables, deposits, and cancellation terms. Use both.
