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!

Ever wondered why some photos show up in searches while others don't?

The secret might be in the alt text! Good alt text can skyrocket your SEO game. But there's an art to writing it:

✅ Be specific, avoid redundancy, and keep it under 125 characters.
✅ Include emotions and actions to bring the image to life.
✅ Mention details like venue names or unique elements.
✅ Use natural language, as if describing the photo to a friend.
❌ Don't stuff keywords or use generic descriptions.

As a photographer, it can be difficult to stay on top of your work and keep up with the demands of your clients. Here are some of my favourite tips for managing time more effectively:

👉 Setting realistic deadlines - allow yourself enough time for each task so that you don't end up rushing at the last minute! Distractions are all around us, so take these into account when deciding how long something will take.

👉 Prioritising tasks - work on the most important jobs first and give them the attention they deserve. Delivering galleries to clients on time is clearly a top priority, but so too is working on the growth of your business (something we often don't prioritise enough).

👉 Using technology - use tools like CRMs (Studio Ninja, Dubsado etc) and project management software (Click Up, Asana, Trello etc) to help keep track of your tasks and manage your workflow more efficiently. Automation tools like Make or Zapier can be total game-changers.

👉 Saying no - it's ok to decline certain enquiries or requests if it means you won't be able to deliver quality work on time or if taking on the job would overload you with too much work.

👉 Outsourcing - once you pinpoint the areas that need tending to (social media, blogs, editing etc) you can hire someone you trust to help you out while you continue to do what you do best.

Following these tips will help you stay organised and get more done - let me know how you get on!
