    I'm just starting out and these are great tips. I also think that group rates work as well. If you charge 125 then maybe 100 per person for 3 or more people. I am also offering separate "basic" and "pro" basic is one edited headshot while pro is included a transparent background. Just a suggestion.

    Great video as always..would you attach a sample pdf of images to your initial email and would you include prices.

      Hi David, no I never attach sample images or pdf's to an initial email. One, it makes it more likely to appear as spam if you're sending a lot of these. Two, if the client is interested, they can click on my website in my email signature to learn more, that's why I emphasize having a good website so much

      If they seem interested and ask for these things... then yeah send them over, but not in the first cold email
