The starting point

About this template

A photography print order form bridges the gap between proof viewing and fulfillment. Whether you're a school photographer fielding orders from hundreds of parents, a sports league handling team and individual prints, or a family portrait studio selling post-session packages, you need a clean way to capture which images each customer wants, in what sizes, and where to ship them. This template does exactly that without forcing you onto an expensive proofing platform.

More about this template

The form is built around how prints are actually ordered: customer references the photographer or event, identifies the subject (child's name, team member, etc.), lists the proof numbers or image IDs they want printed, picks sizes, and selects a package or digital add-on. The proof number field is intentionally free-form because every photographer's gallery system uses different naming conventions — IMG_4521, JPG_001, or just 'the one with the dog.' You can clarify in a quick email reply.

formformform is a great fit for photographers who run their own galleries (Pixieset, ShootProof, Pic-Time, or even Google Drive) and just need a way to take orders without paying for a built-in checkout. Every form is free with unlimited orders, no commission on print sales, and embeds on any photography website. Combine it with your gallery link and you have a complete proof-to-print workflow at zero cost.
