The other day on the blog I shared tips for finding a good Virtual Assistant (read that here!). Finding a good VA is only half the battle though – you have to be able to work well with them to make the investment worth your time and theirs. Usually this is the biggest fear of […]

Becoming a virtual assistant wasn’t exactly something I had built into my business plan. The opportunity came to me by accident, if I’m being totally honest.  But now, after working as one for a year, I’ve realized how much I love being able to support other business owners and complete the kinds of tasks I’ve […]

Although I’m generally a paper + pen kinda girl – both for my business and in my personal life – becoming a business owner meant finding the most efficient method possible to keep track of important items like receipts, bills, mileage and also to complete my work, especially when it comes to social media. Over the […]

Last September, I began a new journey for my business: I started to work as a virtual assistant (VA) for two companies – a husband and wife – in Charlotte, NC. From there, I began growing and took on more local clients before expanding up north and into Chicago even! I work with wedding planners, […]

I’m sure that I will say this for every one year old birthday session that I do but it’s especially applicable for this little guy: How did a WHOLE YEAR go by already?! I remember when Brittany and Jeff brought him home from the hospital. Heck, I remember meeting him in the hospital and holding […]

Let me just say, being an aunt is seriously the coolest feeling in the world! Getting to be an aunt to a little girl and her precious little brother while capturing the first moments a family of four has together? Absolutely priceless. When we found out we were going to be an aunt and an […]

On mother’s day of this year, my husband and I found out that our brother + sister-in-law were expecting again and we couldn’t have been happier for them! They are such wonderful parents already to their little girl, Savannah and we couldn’t wait to see them become parents again! I was even happier when Brittany and […]
