To keep photographers from wasting time in their email inbox, a virtual assistant can filter their most important emails and respond to the rest on their behalf. And even if some of the emails were urgent, the VA would let them know.

The VA would use an online calendar to which you both will have access.
Inform her the days and block of time you can have your appointments and their duration. Your VA will remind you the previous day the interviews you have.
Your VA will not only remember the dates, but she can also remind you to make a phone call or a task you should finish.
Allowing your VA handle your calendar you’ll spend more time being creative.
Research on certain topics
As an entrepreneur is essential to do a lot of research related to your business; however this can be time-consuming. This is an area where you can use a Virtual Assistant, who will perform the research about your industry, and give you ideas for your blog and website.

Data entry and maintenance of databases are time-consuming tasks, but it is important that information is organized and available to you. Having someone else to handle will release a lot of time so you can effectively use that data.
A good Virtual Assistant can be the difference between a productive and non-productive small business. By outsourcing administrative and non-core tasks to a Virtual Assistant, you as a photographer can free your time to maximize business efforts and continue to be creative in your industry tasks.
