The full range

Every shoot, sorted.

From a portrait session to a full wedding package, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of work US freelance photographers actually take on.

©️Licensing & usage rights

Under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, copyright in your photos generally stays with you unless a written contract transfers it. Many photographers charge separately for full usage rights or commercial licensing — note this and it's captured as its own line.

💰Deposits & balances

Bookings are usually secured with a deposit, with the balance due on delivery. Note each stage as it happens and your records match exactly what was paid.

🖼️Prints & products

Physical prints, albums, and canvases are often sold separately from the shoot fee. Note them as their own line and they're itemised apart from your photography charges.

Photographer FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it separate a deposit from the final balance?+
Yes. Note the deposit taken to secure a booking and it's captured separately from the final balance invoice after delivery.
Can it handle package pricing like a wedding photography package?+
Yes. Note the package and hours covered and it's itemised as a fixed-price line, exactly as you quoted it.
Does it invoice for extra editing or retouching separately?+
Yes. Note any extra editing, retouching, or additional images beyond what was scoped and they're itemised as their own line.
Does it know about licensing and image usage rights?+
TradieNotes doesn't draft licensing agreements, but it's worth noting: under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, copyright in your photos stays with you as the photographer unless a written contract transfers it, so many photographers charge separately for full usage rights or commercial licensing.
Can it handle print or product add-ons?+
Yes. Describe prints, albums, or other physical products separately from your shoot fee and they're itemised as their own lines.
What do photography shoots typically cost in the US?+
Pricing varies widely by shoot type, duration, and deliverables — your invoice reflects whatever you actually quoted for that job.
Can I invoice international clients?+
Yes. Note the client and currency details and your invoice is itemised the same way — just confirm your own sales tax and export documentation obligations for international clients.
Are the invoices sales-tax ready?+
Yes — every invoice itemises fees and includes a Sales Tax line you fill in before exporting. Sales tax rules vary by state, so TradieNotes doesn\'t auto-calculate a rate for you.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $2.
