If you’re a wedding photographer or videographer who’s juggling client work, inbox chaos, admin tasks, and everything in between, you’re not alone. Running a business can quietly turn into a full-time job on top of the work you actually love.

I work behind the scenes of a wedding photography business, managing systems, workflows, and the not-so-glamorous tasks that keep everything running smoothly. I’ve seen how quickly burnout creeps in when you’re doing it all yourself and how powerful it is when you don’t have to.

My goal is simple: to take the weight off your plate. I help photographers and small business owners streamline their workflows, offload the tasks that drain their energy, and build businesses that support their life- not run it.

Hi friend, I’M Karlee -

I help photographers simplify, streamline, and breathe again.


Get to know your new OBM…

I’m Karlee, a virtual assistant and online business manager supporting photographers, videographers, and creative business owners behind the scenes.

After years of working inside a wedding photography business, I saw just how much goes into running a business beyond the creative work. Systems, workflows, client communication, timelines, and operations all play a major role and without structure, they can quickly become overwhelming.

What I love most is bringing clarity to the chaos. I’m deeply organized, detail-driven, and strategic by nature, and I enjoy building systems that allow business owners to step out of the day-to-day and focus on growth, creativity, and vision.

Today, I partner with wedding photographers and videographers as an Online Business Manager, helping manage operations, refine workflows, and create sustainable systems that support both their business and their life.

FAQs

How do I know if I’m ready for operational support?

1

If your revenue is growing but your systems haven’t caught up, you’re likely ready. If you’re the bottleneck in every process, constantly putting out fires, or avoiding launches because the backend feels messy — it’s time.


Do you offer task-based VA support?

2

I focus primarily on systems, workflow development, and operational structure. While execution support is available, my role is to create long-term clarity — not just complete one-off tasks.


What level of business do you typically work with?

3

Most clients are established service providers generating consistent monthly revenue who are ready to scale sustainably. If you're still validating your offer, a foundational coach may be a better first step.


Do you require a retainer?

4

Ongoing support creates the most meaningful results. Select one-time projects are available when appropriate, but most clients benefit from structured monthly support.
