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.

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"

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.
