UK Virtual Assistant Emilie from Ashwood VA smiles as she cradles her VA awards

Hello, I'm Emilie...

I provide diligent virtual assistant services to photographers, empowering them with the freedom and opportunity to fulfil their vision.

My approach allows you to fully immerse yourself in your passions while I take care of the behind-the-scenes tasks.

With my cost-effective packages that adapt to your varying needs, I provide the breathing space you need to focus on what you love most – capturing moments behind the lens, without the weight of administrative tasks.

Since childhood, I've been fascinated by the "how's" and "why's". and that curiosity has stayed with me. I love the challenge of learning something new, or finding out why something does or doesn't work (which comes in very handy with the ever-evolving nature of social media!)

It's this curiosity and willingness to think outside the box that empowers me to bring fresh ideas to your business. I offer a unique perspective that can rejuvenate your business and help you stand out.

With Ashwood VA, I swoop in, giving you the support you need to focus on what you do best – capturing those magical moments through the lens. So, if you're a photographer looking for specialist support, let's chat!

Get in touch

When it comes to finding a VA you can't do any better than Emilie! She is fantastic and has absolutely transformed my business. Since she came on board I feel clearer and more organised and it has been such a pleasure working with her every day. From the moment we started working together she integrated into my business seamlessly, picking up the tasks I assigned to her quickly and doing them to a high standard. Emilie is very detail oriented, fantastic at using her initiative and isn't afraid to make helpful suggestions when it comes to streamlining processes and using both of our time as efficiently as possible. As a neurodivergent person I came to her with a list of things I was struggling with. She took the time to listen, ask the right questions and take it all on board and came up with a workflow that works well for both of us. I know how hard as a business owner to let go and outsource things when you are used to controlling it all yourself. But Emilie has proven to be the thing I needed all along and I'm so grateful to have her on board. I can't recommend her enough!

Brand positioning isn’t just fancy pants marketing talk.

It's what makes your business different. The reason clients notice you. Choose you. Stick with you.

So it's pretty important for your small business.

But where do you start?

1️⃣ Get specific on who you really really want to work with? What do they care about? And what do you care about that connects with them? (steer clear of that vague “something for everyone” fluff)

2️⃣ What makes you unforgettable? What do you do that your competitors can’t touch? Own that sh*t!

3️⃣ Be consistent. Your messaging should sound like you everywhere - your website, your socials, your emails etc. Be as unmistakable you in your brand as you are in person.

Now, if you’re anything like I was, you might look at this and think:

👉 “I don’t know who I want to work with.”
👉 “I don’t know what they care about.”
👉 “I don’t know what makes me unforgettable.”
👉 “I don’t even know what I sound like”

Fair. Totally fair. But the answers are out there, you just have to find them.

🧠 Who have been your favourite clients? What do they all have in common? That’s probably who you want to work with.

🧠 What are people always looking for when they enquire with you?

🧠 What do clients say over and over again in their reviews about working with you?

🧠 Ask your friends, your family, your partner what they think makes you unique. How would they describe your way of talking, working, or showing up?

The answers are there for the taking.

But remember, positioning isn’t one-and-done. It evolves, just like you. Start small, and see where it takes you!
Anyone else got a love hate relationship with blogging? 😅

Client work always comes first, and by the time you sit down to write, the inspiration’s vanished.

If you’re trying to improve your SEO, attract more of your dream clients, or just keep your website from going stale, having a bank of ready to go blog ideas makes life a thousand times easier and I'm speaking from experience!

To give you a head start I've rounded up 99 blog ideas for your photography business. There's even a few SEO tips thrown in for good measure. Tap the link in my bio to read the blog!
My clients are the absolute BEST! 

It can be really scary to bring someone into your business, especially when you're used to doing everything yourself. But you can achieve sooo much more with an extra pair of hands and a fresh pair of eyes!

If you've got any questions about working with a VA my DMs are open, no question is a silly question.
