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

Hello, I'm Emilie...

I'm obsessed with my job; providing diligent virtual assistant services to photographers and 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!

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!

Your creativity helps you deliver amazing photos, right? Now, what if you turned that creativity inward and used it to boost your mindset!

The way we think has a huuuge impact on the success we have in our business, and our overall happiness. So, let's channel our creativity into our thinking!

Here are my 9 mindset boosters for you:

1. Know your 'why?' to keep the fire in your belly burning.

2. Challenge your self-doubts, they're usually talking sh*t.

3. Set goals beyond your comfort zone - you might just surprise yourself!

4. Learn to appreciate and celebrate the little wins each day.

5. Don't punish yourself for mistakes - we're all human.

6. Be flexible and open to change, even when it's scary.

7. Take responsibility for your own success, no one's going to do it for you.

8. Take small steps every day (Rome wasn't built in a day).

9. Don't compare yourself to others - we're all on different journeys!

Which of these could make the biggest difference for you right now?
