State your cancellation policy clearly on every invoice: "Retainer is non-refundable. Cancellations within 30 days of event forfeit 100% of total package fee per contract Section 3." If a client cancels and you rebook the date, you can return a portion of the retainer as goodwill — but you're not legally required to. Issue a credit note (not a refund invoice) for any amount returned, referencing the original invoice number. Keep all communications in writing.
Yes. List them as separate line items: "Digital file gallery (200 high-res images, web + print ready) — $400" and "8×10 fine art prints (set of 10) — $350." This makes each deliverable clear and lets clients choose add-ons easily. For prints fulfilled through a lab, include your markup (industry standard is 2–4x lab cost). For digital files, specify resolution, format (JPEG/RAW), and delivery method (gallery link, USB drive, download).
A usage license defines how the client can use your images. Add it as a line item: "Commercial usage license — [Brand Name] social media, 12 months, unlimited posts — $1,500" or "Editorial license — Magazine feature, 1 issue, print + digital — $800." Without an explicit license on the invoice, usage rights are ambiguous. Always specify: who can use the image, for what purpose, for how long, in which media/territory, and whether it's exclusive. Licensing can double or triple a photography project's total value.
For international clients, invoice in their preferred currency — USD for US clients, GBP for UK clients, EUR for EU clients. InvoiceLoo supports all major currencies. For UK clients, add your VAT number if registered and charge 20% VAT. For EU business clients, use 0% VAT with a reverse charge note. For US clients as a non-US photographer, complete a W-8BEN form. Always specify the currency clearly on the invoice — "All amounts in USD" — to avoid any confusion on payment.
