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

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"

If you've got an eagle eye, you've probably seen this quote in quite a few of my pics: "Do more of what makes you happy."

I was in a pretty dark place for a while, and what's strange is I didn't even realise it. 

I was stuck in this never-ending hamster wheel, running at full speed and never giving myself time to reflect on what really made me happy.

But when I was unexpectedly made redundant, everything changed.

It was my turning point. 

I grabbed life by the balls and seized the opportunity to do more of what makes me happy. 

And that's when I became a VA!

The VA industry is a very very special place. A lot of us work alone, but we never feel alone. Collaboration over competition isn't just a phrase thrown around; it's the absolute heartbeat of the community. 

And it's no exaggeration that VAs are the superheroes of small businesses. 

As the fabulous @va_mentor sums it up, "We wear so many hats – organisers, strategists, tech wizards, social media managers, do'ers and the list goes on. We keep businesses running smoothly and help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams."

Honestly, words couldn't possibly express how grateful I am to this incredible industry, the supporters, my fellow VAs, and, of course, my amazing clients. 

You've all given me the opportunity to do more of what makes me happy!

Happy International VA Day! 🎉🎉🎉

A question I often get from photographers seeking help with social media is about getting shoots over to me.

And I get it, your time is precious, the last thing you want is a messy toing and froing about social media!

So, I have a really easy system that effortlessly integrates into your existing workflow.

Here's how it works:

After sending the gallery to your clients, you just fill out a quick online form to share the gallery link, list any suppliers, and specify anything special you want to highlight about the shoot. You can even upload a client questionnaire if it has the relevant info.

And that's it! 

I'll take care of the rest, crafting engaging social media posts and giving you a consistent online presence.

Got questions about this or anything else? Drop them below, or shoot me a message.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of AI, but I'm not quite sold on entrusting it with everything - especially when it comes to social media. I think Semrush has hit the nail on the head with the reasons why. 

What's your take on this? Do you use AI?
