Frequently asked questions

Are there any additional charges?

Any additional specific costs incurred such as stationery, postage, packaging will be charged separately at cost price. Your consent will be obtained before proceeding.

Urgent work or work outside our normal hours may incur a premium.

What is the client portal?

Our retainer clients have access to their very own secure client portal where they can view live updates, review documents, pay invoices and book appointments.

What happens if I go over my hours?

Any work carried out after your retained hours have been used will be charged at your package's equivalent hourly rate.

We will notify you when you are nearing your limit, and we will have regular reviews to ensure you are on the right package for your needs.

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes, there is a minimum charge of 1 hour for ad hoc work.

What happens if I don't use my retained hours?

10% of any unused hours can be rolled over to the following month.

We will have regular reviews to ensure you are on the right package for your needs.

What are the payment terms?

Our retainer work is invoiced at the package rate in advance, at the start of the month.

Our ad hoc work is invoiced at the end of the month. In some cases a deposit may be payable upfront.

Payment is due within 7 calendar days from the date on the invoice. If you do not pay by the due date, we may charge interest and reschedule further work until payment is made.

Can you provide time tracking reports?

We track all our time with the use of professional software. If you would like a copy of the report, just ask your virtual assistant.

If you are one of our retainer clients, you will have 24/7 access to live updates showing the time we have spent on your tasks that month and the current status of each task.

"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. If you are on the fence about getting a VA, get in touch with Emilie, she has been a massive help"

When we’re overwhelmed, we’re distracted.

And the things that fuel our creativity get lost beneath a pile of to-do lists.

Sure, getting more organised can help, but it’s not the whole solution.

Often, it’s about clearing the clutter: emotionally, mentally, physically.

So when you’re feeling burnt out, take a deep breath.

Then start byticking just one thing off your list - not to be productive, but to make space for your creativity to return.

Let me know how you get on!

Ever feel like you're just faking it in the photography world? Like someone's going to tap you on the shoulder and say, "Hey, you don't belong here!"

That'll be impostor syndrome chatting sh*t again.

Funny thing is, while you're busy doubting yourself, there's probably another photographer out there admiring your work and wishing they had your skills.

Pretty ironic, don't you think? 

So the next time impostor syndrome tries to steal your confidence:
👉 Read through your reviews from happy clients
👉 Cut back on the endless Insta-scrolling
👉 Celebrate others' wins (it doesn't diminish your own!)

My personal favourite? I keep a 'wins' folder on my phone with screenshots of nice feedback and achievements. It's my go to pick-me-up on tough days.

How do you battle the impostor blues?

Swamped by admin, emails, and social media? Let's talk about outsourcing for photographers (It's not as scary as it sounds!). 

What if you could:
👉 Focus on enjoying life away from work 
👉 Have someone else handle the boring stuff
👉 Spend more time behind the lens

Outsourcing isn't about giving up control, it's about multiplying your energy and focus. Because let's face it, being productive isn't doing it all. It's doing what matters most. And I'm willing to bet that's not spending hours crafting the perfect Instagram captions 🫠

So whether it's bringing on a virtual assistant (hi there! 👋) or using some nifty tools, sometimes the best productivity hack is to ask for help.

What’s one task you’d love to pass off to someone else?
