Photographer Invoice Template
A photography invoice has three jobs: charge for the shoot, charge for the editing that clients rarely see, and make the usage rights clear. Editing time is where most photographers silently lose money.

Common questions
Should I charge separately for editing?
Yes, at least on the invoice. Even when you quote one package price, showing editing as a line item explains the price and justifies charging for re edits later.
When do clients get the photos?
Common practice is a watermarked preview gallery first, with final high resolution files released on payment. Say so in the invoice terms.
