Ep 1 – The Email That Landed My First Fashion Client | Booked By Email Mini-Series

Author: Olivia Bossert August 4, 2025 Duration: 8:09

Welcome to the Booked By Email mini-series!


In this first episode, I’m sharing the story of how one email completely changed my career.


You’ll hear how I went from shooting my first wedding (and hating it) to landing my dream fashion brand client, all through pitching. And yes… I was living in rural Cornwall at the time.


I’ll walk you through:


  • Why the email worked

  • What made the pitch land

  • The importance of having a strong idea, a clear solution, and a client-focused mindset
