Regardless of one's profession, a large part of running a successful business is keeping track of invoices that are sent to clients. This bit of advice might sound like a "no brainer" although putting an invoice together can sometimes be tedious. A simple "Google Search" for an invoice could display thousands of different templates to choose from - another tedious task.
Some of the basic information that you'll want to include in your invoice is: Photographer's Name & Company, Invoice Number, Date of Service, Due Date of Invoice, Product(s) You Sold, Job Description, Fees to be Paid by Client and the Expenses. Instead of rooting through the multiple invoices that are online, I'd like to share one with you that I found particularly helpful. To see an example of an invoice, please click "here" to access a PDF I've shared on my Google Drive. Keep in mind, what is listed on one photographer's invoice might not be relevant for your personal business. Use this PDF as a guide.
