LibreA pile of phone photos isn't documentation.
Practical guides for what to capture, how to organize, and how to turn photos into proof that helps you get paid.
Why bad photos cost money
Wrong photo, wrong date, no caption, can't find it when the dispute hits. These guides cover the everyday workflows that turn phone-camera dumps into evidence — the kind that helps support invoices, change orders, and dispute conversations. Use the workflow with any app; we'll call out the parts LibreCam makes faster.
Guides
The 12-photo jobsite checklist
The universal starter set every job needs — pre-existing conditions, materials, work in progress, closeout. Use as-is or fork per trade.
Organize jobsite photos (fast)
Project / phase / zone / tag — the four-level structure that makes photos findable without scrolling through a year of camera roll.
Daily reports from job photos
Stop typing reports. Select photos, add captions, generate a PDF. Two-tap daily reports that read like real documentation.
Document for progress payments
What to photograph at each milestone so your invoices get approved — not flagged for 'insufficient documentation.'
Share progress photos with homeowners
Cadence, format, what to show, what to skip. Keep clients confident without burying them in pictures.
Photo mistakes that cost you money
Twelve documentation gaps and what each one costs when the dispute, delay, or rework hits.
