Photography quoting — FAQ
How do I quote a photography job fairly?
Itemize labor (hours × rate), materials with a fair markup, and any trip or setup fees. The calculator above pre-loads typical photography line items so you can build a defensible estimate in under a minute.
How long should a quote stay valid?
30 days is standard. Material costs move, so put an expiry date on the quote and note that final pricing depends on site conditions.
What's the difference between a quote, an estimate, and an invoice?
An estimate is a rough number, a quote is a firm price the customer can accept, and an invoice bills the customer after the work is done. With Job Invoice Buddy you can convert a quote into an invoice in one click.
Should I ask for a deposit?
For jobs over a few hundred dollars, a 25–50% deposit is common. Add it as a separate line item on the invoice (or note it in the quote) so the balance due is clear.
