If you're a wedding photographer or videographer buried in inbox chaos, admin tasks, and everything in between, you don't have to keep doing it all yourself.

I work behind the scenes of a wedding photography business myself, so I know exactly what it takes to keep things running — the emails, the scheduling, the client follow-ups, the tasks that pile up while you're busy shooting and editing. Whether you need hands-on help with the day-to-day or a long-term partner to build out your systems, I step in where you need it most.

My goal is simple: to take the weight off your plate, one task or one system at a time.

Hi friend, I’M Karlee -

I help photographers simplify, streamline, and breathe again.

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 one beyond the creative work — inbox management, scheduling, client communication, systems, and operations all play a role, and without support, they pile up fast.

Some clients just need reliable hands-on help to stay on top of the day-to-day. Others are ready for a bigger-picture partner to build sustainable systems and manage operations at a higher level. I offer both, and we'll figure out together which one actually fits where your business is right now.

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

Yes — task-based VA support is a core part of what I offer, whether that's ongoing help with your inbox and scheduling or a one-time project like a systems cleanup. If you're further along and want a bigger-picture operational partner, that's available too through OBM support. We'll figure out together what level of support actually fits your business right now.


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

No — the VA Starter Project is a one-time, project-based option with no ongoing commitment. Most clients do find that consistent monthly support (VA or OBM) creates the best long-term results, but there's no requirement to start there.
