They’ll all give you side-eye when you say your creative business isn’t stressing you out or taking over your life. 

But when you’re LOGGED OFF by 3pm & ONLY doing the WORK YOU LOVE, they’ll be begging to learn your secret.

Work With Me • Work With Me •

You started your creative small business to do what you love & have freedom in life. 

  • Stressed & overwhelmed doing all the BTS work alone? 
  • Working 24/7 but not making progress on your goals? 
  • Resenting your business because you no longer have time to focus on the craft you fell in love with in the first place?   

let me guess...

Then why are you: 

Your business should feel like a daydream, *not* a nightmare.  

While it may seem like wishful thinking, I promise it IS possible for you to: 

  • Feel less controlled by your to-do list while staying on track with your goals (no more shifting projects to next year’s resolution list).
  • Have clear & structured ongoing business support without having to manage an entire team.
  • Have time to focus on the work & art you love most…all while scaling your business and income sustainably.

How would your business (& life) transform with an extra three months of work time this year? 

40 hours per month x 12 months per year = 480 hours.  

Let’s say you: work  40 hours a week
(even though we both know you probably work more than that, don’t you?) 

a little hypothetical for you...

If you outsource:

480 hours per year / 160 hours per month  

The  average month has 160-184 work hours.  

=3 months of work time saved

We'll customize your VA experience to best suit your business & goals, and after proposals have been signed: onboarding will begin! You’ll receive a tailored-to-you guide walking you through exactly how to get things set up – from sharing documents to logins to assigning projects.

You could...

  • Consider hiring full-time or someone for each individual job… but then you’re piling on the additional stress of managing an entire team.

  • Invest in a popular digital calendar because you just need to be more organized…but organization isn’t going to change the fact there are only 24 hours in a day. 
 
  • Keep telling yourself you’ll tackle that dream project during slow season…but you’re passing the baton to the future-you & a time when you’ll probably want to enjoy the extra breathing room of a not-as-packed calendar.  

Sure,

It’s time to give yourself permission to give up complete control over your to-do list & goals.

Outsource: so you can stop being the one to put in all the hours behind your laptop *all day, every day.*

"...I can confidently say outsourcing to Sarah has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my photography business. Her support has been truly invaluable. Not only has she helped me stay organized and on top of everything behind the scenes, but she’s also allowed me to refocus on what I love most: creating and photographing, which has resulted in me being able to book more clients and growth in my business.
As a creative, running a business can often feel overwhelming—there’s so much more to juggle beyond the work you actually enjoy. Having someone I can rely on to handle the behind-the-scenes tasks has made a huge difference in both my productivity and peace of mind.

Thanks to Sarah, I’ve had the space and support to grow as both an artist and an entrepreneur. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any creative professional looking to bring clarity, structure, and sustainability to their business."

Well, you’ve probably guessed it —

 I started my business because I saw first-hand what extra time, systems, and support did to transform a creative business from a 24/7 hustle into a scalable, sustainable business that allows you to live the life you love.  

I'm Sarah!

You have the clients. You have the followers. You have the success. 
 
But now? *You can have it all. *

You can have time to focus on your craft & stay in your zone of genius.  

You can launch a new side of your business, because you have someone in your corner.

You can do all the things you’ve always wanted to do in your business, but never had the butt-in-seat time to make it happen. 

You may be ready to Outsource to Sarah if…

You have big goals for your business, but it hasn’t happened yet because you don’t have the time to do the legwork.

You feel stretched thin & are starting to resent your business.

Your days are taken up by daily odd jobs that have to be done, but not by you.

You *know* there’s a way to have more margin in your work/personal life, but you don’t want to hire a full-time employee or manage a huge team. 

You want to increase your income, but can’t stomach working even more. 

You want to get back to the reason you started your business in the first place & need more time to focus on your art. 

You know bringing in help will take a little bit of start-up work, but the end result will be worth it!

FAQ

What can I outsource?

Honestly, almost anything. Click HERE to see a comprehensive list of tasks I’ve helped clients with in the past. My favorite emails include “is this something you can help with?” 

What type of business owners do you work with? 

Over the last ten years, my focus has been serving businesses in the wedding industry–specializing in wedding photographers, planners, & educators-- but I love working with any creative small business owner!

What happens if we start working with each other and we aren’t a good fit? 

While the intro call will be a good indicator and should prevent any bad matches in the first place–contracts can be cancelled with 30 days notice. 

How much time do I need to get started with a VA? 

My biggest advice is: get started with a VA BEFORE the busy season begins & you get to the point where you desperately need help b/c you’re swamped. I tend to recommend there being a 2 week period before your start date to give us plenty of time for your intro call, discuss what you want outsourced, get contracts signed, and for you to go through the onboarding period of sending me job details, setting up file sharing, etc without you feeling rushed.  

Do you work with business owners long term or just on shorter projects? 

Both! I am more than happy to jump in and serve your business for a shorter season to get you through a project/launch, or even sabbaticals or maternity leaves. But I love working with businesses long term & seeing their businesses grow year by year. I’ve been working with some of my clients for as long as 7 and 10 years, and it’s been amazing to get to know the ins-and-outs of their business for as long as I have.
