What to include on a real estate photography invoice
| What the invoice shows | Where it goes in the editor above |
|---|---|
| Your business name, address and contact details | From (Sender), at the top of the PDF. |
| Whoever pays: the agent or the brokerage | To (Client), printed under Billed To. |
| A unique invoice number and the invoice date | Invoice # and Date under Invoice Details. |
| The property address and shoot date | In the line description (replace [property address]). Leave Event Date and Event Location empty: they print with those labels. |
| Each service for the property | One line each: photos, twilight, drone or aerial, virtual tour hosting. |
| The listing-use licence | Terms & Conditions, printed under Usage License & Terms. |
| When payment is due and how to pay | The Terms box (the Due Date field is not printed on this template) and Payment Methods. |
In the UK, GOV.UK says you must give an invoice “by law if both you and the customer are registered for VAT”, and its list of what an invoice must include has “the date the goods or service were provided (supply date)” next to the invoice number, both parties’ names and addresses, a clear description, the amounts, VAT if applicable and the total owed (GOV.UK).
The blank real estate photography invoice (PDF or Word) has a “Property address” box, a “Bill to (agent / brokerage)” block, a DESCRIPTION / QTY / UNIT PRICE / AMOUNT table and Subtotal, Tax and TOTAL DUE.
Real estate photography invoice example
Illustrative placeholder figures to show the layout and the arithmetic. They are not market rates.
[Studio address]
[Email] · [Phone]
# PHOTO-2026-014
Date: [invoice date]
| Service / Product Description | Unit | Qty | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Listing Photography — [12 Example Street], shot [date] | Property | 1 | $200.00 | $200.00 |
| Twilight Photography | Property | 1 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Drone / Aerial Photography | Property | 1 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Virtual Tour Hosting — [period] | Tour | 1 | $50.00 | $50.00 |
Payment terms: due by [date]. Usage licence: marketing of [12 Example Street] while it is listed for sale; other uses need written permission.
Payment Details
Bank transfer: [account name, account number or IBAN], quoting the invoice number.
Arithmetic: 1 × $200.00 = $200.00; 1 × $100.00 = $100.00; 1 × $100.00 = $100.00; 1 × $50.00 = $50.00; subtotal $450.00, which is also the Total Amount. No tax line prints because the tax rate is 0 in this example.
The labels are the ones the generator’s PDF prints. The Due Date field is not printed on this template, which is why the due date is written in the terms. The dollar sign is only for the example: pick your currency in the settings.
One invoice per property, or several listings per invoice
Bill each property on its own lines, with the address in the description (replace [property address]) and the shoot date after it. The editor’s Event Date and Event Location fields print with those labels, so on a real estate invoice leave them empty and keep the address in the line.
If you invoice an agent or brokerage once a month for several listings, repeat the lines for each address. An invoice holds up to 30 lines.
Agent or brokerage: who goes on the bill-to
Put whoever pays you under To (Client): the agent if the agent pays, or the brokerage if the brokerage pays. When an agent orders the shoot but the brokerage pays, bill the brokerage and name the agent in the address block (for example “Attn: [agent name]”) or in Notes, so the invoice reaches the right person.
Listing-use licence
The Terms box includes the line “Usage licence: [the listing and marketing uses allowed, and for how long]”. State what the images may be used for, for example the marketing of this property while it is listed, and say that other uses need your permission. The rules of multiple listing services (MLSs) on photo use differ from one MLS to another, so check the rules of the service the agent lists on rather than relying on the invoice.
Who owns the photos: the law by country
- United States. Copyright “vests initially in the author or authors of the work” (17 U.S.C. §201(a)), and “a transfer of copyright ownership, other than by operation of law, is not valid unless an instrument of conveyance, or a note or memorandum of the transfer, is in writing and signed by the owner of the rights conveyed or such owner’s duly authorized agent” (§204(a)).
- United Kingdom. “An assignment of copyright is not effective unless it is in writing signed by or on behalf of the assignor” (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, s.90(3)).
- Elsewhere. The rules differ by country, so check the copyright law where you work.
On the invoice, describe the licence you are granting (the use, the media, the territory and how long) in the same words as your contract. If a client asks for the copyright itself, the US and UK rules above require a signed writing, so agree it in your contract.
Drone and aerial lines (US: 14 CFR 107.12)
Keep drone or aerial work on its own line so the client can see what it covers. In the US, the FAA rule for small unmanned aircraft says: “no person may act as a remote pilot in command unless that person has a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating issued pursuant to Subpart C of this part and satisfies the requirements of 107.65” (14 CFR 107.12(b)). Outside the US, check your own aviation authority’s rules; this page does not summarize them.

Real estate photography invoice FAQ
What should a real estate photography invoice include?
Your business details, the agent or brokerage who pays, a unique invoice number and the invoice date, the property address and shoot date, each service on its own line (photos, twilight, drone or aerial, virtual tour), the listing-use licence, the payment due date and how to pay you.
Should I bill the agent or the brokerage?
Bill whoever pays you. If the agent orders the shoot but the brokerage pays, put the brokerage under To (Client) and name the agent in the address block or in Notes.
Where does the property address go?
In the line description: replace [property address] in the Listing Photography line. The Event Date and Event Location fields would print with those labels, so leave them empty on a real estate invoice.
Can I put several listings on one invoice?
Yes. Repeat the lines for each property, with the address in each description. An invoice holds up to 30 lines.
How do I add a drone or aerial line?
Use the Drone / Aerial Photography line, or delete it if you did not fly. In the US, 14 CFR 107.12 requires a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating to act as remote pilot in command; outside the US, check your aviation authority’s rules.
Is this real estate photography invoice generator free?
Yes — no account, no email address, nothing to pay. It is free and unmetered for normal use; an anti-abuse cap of 20 PDFs per device per day (200 per IP) applies, well above ordinary use, and the blank template downloads on this page are not metered. A one-line "Created free with myinvoicetemplate.com" credit is switched on by default and one free checkbox in the settings turns it off. Your draft is stored in your own browser on this device, so download and keep the PDF you need.
Does this page share a draft with the photography invoice generator?
No. This page keeps its own draft in your browser, separate from the main photography invoice generator and the other specialty pages. Pressing Reset clears it and brings back the real estate lines this page starts with.
