Thank you for your business!
Treat it as a starting point, not a finished legal document. Contract law varies by state, province, and country, and this template cannot account for every situation. Fill in the bracketed terms, then have a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction review it before you send it to a client or rely on it to protect your business.
Invoice number and date, a clear due date, itemized line items (session fee, add-ons, travel), subtotal and tax, any deposit already applied, and the remaining balance due — itemizing builds trust and reduces payment disputes.
7-14 days is standard for photography invoices, though this can be shortened for rush jobs or lengthened for corporate/agency clients with their own AP cycles — just state the terms clearly on every invoice.
This depends entirely on local and state/country tax law and whether you're selling tangible goods (prints, albums) alongside services — check with a local accountant, since photography tax treatment varies significantly by jurisdiction.
Load this template into SupaBook and send it from the same place as this client's contracts, proposals, and invoices — one client record instead of scattered files. Plans start at $15/mo.
