Good Plan for Photographers
Photography services—weddings, portraits, commercial shoots—are expensive and emotion-driven purchases. When clients struggle to pay final invoices, you're left unpaid for hours of creative work.
Good Plan helps photographers recover what they're owed while maintaining the positive relationships essential to your reputation and referral business.
Common Photography Invoice Challenges
Wedding Photography
Cost: $3,000-$8,000+
Challenge: Couple overspent on venue, catering, honeymoon. Final invoice is difficult.
Good Plan solution: 6-12 month payment plan. They get their photos, you get paid, relationship stays positive for referrals.
Portrait Sessions
Cost: $800-$2,000
Challenge: Family portraits, senior photos, newborn shoots. Client loves the photos but didn't budget for prints/albums.
Good Plan solution: 3-6 month plan makes high-quality prints affordable.
Commercial Photography
Cost: $2,000-$10,000+
Challenge: Small business client has cash flow issues but needs the images for marketing.
Good Plan solution: Match payment plan to their revenue cycle.
Event Photography
Cost: $1,500-$5,000
Challenge: Corporate or private events. Client happy with work but invoice timing is bad.
Good Plan solution: Flexible payment preserves business relationship.
Why Payment Plans Work for Photographers
Protect Your Reputation
Photography is referral-based. Aggressive collections tactics damage your brand and dry up future bookings.
Deliver Work on Time
With payment plans, you can deliver photos without holding them hostage for payment. Clients are happier, reviews are better.
Maintain Wedding Industry Relationships
Venues, planners, florists—they all refer photographers. Collections actions damage these professional connections.
Enable Upsells
Clients who pay over time are more likely to order additional prints, albums, or book future sessions.
How Good Plan Works
- Deliver the Photos - Client receives their images
- Create Payment Plan - Suggest 3, 6, or 12 months
- Client Chooses - They pick what fits their budget
- Automated Check-Ins - Gentle reminders on due dates
- Get Paid - Recover your fees without conflict
