Improve your
lifestyle

Benefit from the opportunity to get back to the things you enjoy. Leave the arduous tasks to us and spend your time on the things that matter to you. Moreover, you can enjoy life with a clearer mind; delegating tasks not only gets them off your desk but also out of your mind.

Hello,

Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by your never ending list of things to do?

We understand what it’s like to be a small business with a big vision. To long for the space to strategise and bring about further growth. To crave the opportunity to generate more revenue and create added security. To yearn for the freedom to take time out and enjoy your life. 

We will diligently take care of your social media, emails and many other admin duties so you can benefit from the freedom, space and opportunity to fulfil your vision, whether that’s elevating your business or improving your lifestyle.

Business administrative support

There are many essential, but often time-consuming, admin tasks that are part and parcel of running a successful business. From ensuring a consistent presence on social media, chasing unpaid invoices and keeping on top of the mountain of emails.


If you're starting to feel like these tasks are taking you away from your revenue generating tasks, or the activities that will push your business forwards, then it might be time to outsource to us. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Lifestyle management

As small business owners, our work life and home life can often blur into one. Replying to emails whilst on hold to the doctors, or remembering your car insurance is due for renewal when you're knee deep in meeting prep.


On top of our usual business administration support, we also offer general lifestyle management, ensuring both your work life and home life remain free from chaos so you can concentrate on what matters to you. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

"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"

Photographers, when's the last time you updated the portfolio on your website?

As the craziness of peak season subsides, and with engagement season just around the corner, it's time to dive in and give your portfolio a refresh.

Remember, your portfolio is more than just a gallery of your favourite photos — it’s your visual pitch to future clients. 

So, ask yourself — is it showing the type of work you want more of? If you’re aiming to break into a new niche or attract a different kind of client, make sure your portfolio reflects that shift.

Your portfolio should evolve with you, always growing, always getting better. So, take this time to ensure it’s a true reflection of where you are now and where you want to go next.

What do you struggle most with when updating your portfolio? Whether it's time or selections, you're probably not alone. Drop your tips in the comments, and let's help each other out.
