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!

"I came across Ashwood VA whilst searching for a virtual assistant and I'm so glad I found her! She has been fantastic from the start and always there to offer guidance, new ideas, support when I'm stuck and works at a pace I am comfortable with. Since working together the biggest transformation is my CRM. Right from our first phone call, I have had more clarity and feel a lot less overwhelmed, giving me more time to focus on photography and other aspects of my business.

Photographers, it’s easy to get caught up in your to-do list, right? There’s always more to do, more to finish, more to plan. But what about the tasks you've completed? They deserve your attention too...

You might not realise, but acknowledging your wins (yes, even the small ones) keeps your momentum strong. Plus, it’s a great reminder that you’re actually crushing it.

👉  Just wrapped up editing that wedding? Yessss, celebrate that bad boy!

👉  Finally sent out that tricky email? Victory lap around your desk time!

👉  Scored a new booking? Go grab that fancy pants coffee, you’ve earned it!

Big or small, it all counts. Because the little wins fuel the big ones. So strike through tasks with swag, tick them off in your app, or simply pause for a moment to bask in your own glory. 

What’s something you ticked off recently that was soooo satisfying?

Ever looked at your to-do list and felt your heart sink at those huge tasks waiting there? Like “revamp website” (which has probably been sitting pretty for way longer than I'd care to admit).

We’ve all been there. It’s like deciding to clean your entire house the day after shooting a full-day wedding — it's overwhelming and, let’s be real, probably not gonna happen.

So, what’s the trick? Break. It. Down. 

Instead of “Revamp website”:
• Pick new website theme
• Update portfolio photos
• Write fresh about me copy

Bite sized tasks = less daunting and way more doable. Plus, it gives you the satisfaction of crossing things off your list more often. And who doesn’t love that!

Got a big, scary task you’ve been avoiding? Share it in the comments and let’s break it down together! Sometimes, two heads are better than one.

In case you've been hiding under a rock, I recently got married! 🎉 It was seriously amazing, everything we'd hoped for. But planning it was a real eye-opener.

I couldn't help but notice some stuff. Little things that kept popping up, stuff that might not seem like a big deal to wedding suppliers, but can really put off couples who are trying to make decisions.

So, I thought, why not share what I've learned?

If you're working in the wedding industry – whether you're a photographer, planner, florist, stylist, venue, or anyone else helping to bring those big days to life – I've got some insights that might help.

I've put all down in a blog post. If you're curious, give it a read (link's in my bio). I'd love to hear what you think!

And if you're a couple planning your wedding I'd love to hear from you too! What are wedding suppliers doing that's giving you the ick? Or better yet, what's raising a massive green flag?
