After a wonderful trip to Antarctica, I spent several months compiling my images into a photobook using Momento's software, and on the point of placing my order learned they had gone into liquidation.

Purely by chance, at that same time, I met Simone from Your Photos Filed on a photography workshop. She immediately empathised with my dilemma and offered a solution to rework my layout in her own software. Throughout this process Simone was a thorough professional, responded promptly to emails and her calm demeanour provided reassurance that my memories were in good hands.

Whilst my layout was already established, I am so glad I gave Simone the freedom to add her creative flair as her design skills transformed my photo book in ways I would never have imagined.

I cannot speak too highly of the outstanding service that Simone provides and am sure to use Your Photos Filed again in the future.

I would like to share my overwhelmingly positive experiences with Simone Larwood on a recently completed project to digitise and catalogue my family’s photos.

As with most people, organising my family’s photos from analogue times has been a nagging task and like most people, I understood the task. That it would take everything from converting hundreds and hundreds of slides, to albums safely stored in surprising places, to odd boxes full of unknown photos of barely known relatives from different continents. I knew what needed to be done but the project was too overwhelming to start. And then I heard of Simone’s services.

Over a period of time, Simone managed to organise everything I had in the format I wanted – which was catalogued digital photos. I was working mostly overseas throughout the duration of the project but Simone would ensure she met me when I was in town to track the progress and have me approve certain things. Regarding the administration of the project, she was extremely professional. I understood what I was paying for and she kept the project within the timeframes and budget.

What I have now is a safe, navigable, single location for my family’s history. As the family is spread throughout the world now, it is a huge relief knowing this project is no longer that ‘itch’ always creating that anxiety of an important job not done.

I feel Simone is exactly the sort of person you want to work with on your photo organising project. She has certainly provided a digital legacy for my family.

Simone was brilliant with a last-minute idea to put together a photo book of  our family life in Australia to give as a gift to my husband’s family who live in Spain. With a tight deadline, I left all the details to Simone (she has full access to my photos) and it came out beautifully. This was such a unique gift that will be treasured and I can’t recommend Simone enough for keeping our photos up to date, which enabled her to pull this together so seamlessly for us.

Thank you for your care, patience, trust and expertise on creating the most precious gifts for my family.

The ‘digital album’ was truly so amazing to open and view together as a family of the years that have past as well as the present time, the way you  captured the  live footage you so carefully put together for our family to share for many more years to come.

I highly recommend your services and can’t wait to see the next digital album you create for us.

Thank you Simone for scanning my mum's precious 70 year old black and white wedding photos. We appreciate how you cared for the photos, the process and were patient with us. It means a lot to us and we definitely recommend your services.

I couldn’t recommend Simone enough!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with. After the sudden passing of my mother I realised how scattered our family photos were and that all the kids couldn’t have a physical copy of the photos, so I decided to have them scanned and digitised. Seemed like such a simple idea to start with. But the process of re-organising the physical copies and then sorting out my digital photos became very overwhelming. Simone made the whole process feel much less daunting and so much more enjoyable than how it felt when I was trying to do it on my own. She has gone above and beyond for me, even editing a lovely wedding photo of my parents into black and white for me. If organising photos (digital or prints) is something you’re thinking about doing, I’d highly recommend getting started by getting Simone’s help.

Thank you so much for helping me with my photos Simone. You were really helpful and I hope you know you have left “an oldie “ like me very happy, secure that my memories are saved. You understood all that I wanted and went over and beyond to understand what meant so much to me. Thanks so so much

With being so busy with life’s commitments I never found the time to create an album of my family’s photos. We go on so many little camping holidays and we have so many photos, it was overwhelming thinking of what I had to do. Simone made it really easy, I gave her a staggering amount of photos, grouped per holiday – which took no time – and she turned these into a wonderful visual sequence of photos that it captured the feelings of being at the holidays. The album was made to the highest quality and the detail around the page thickness and the way the book is bound is very considered, resulting in an absolutely beautiful product. My album (and future albums) are on my coffee table for friends to admire and for us to relive our treasured holidays.
