Photo books and other ways to enjoy your photos
Memories are so important. They are part of who we are and something to treasure and pass onto future generations. Photos are an intrinsic part of our memories and should be accessible to share and enjoy with family and friends.
Are you feeling guilty that your kids have never seen photos of themselves in printed form, such as a photo book? Have you been on an amazing holiday and haven't had a chance to do anything with the photos that are still sitting on your phone or camera? Is there a significant birthday coming up for someone special and you'd like to commemorate it with a photo book, but don't have the time or design skills to do it nicely?
If you would love a photo book or slideshow and know that you'll never get around to doing it yourself, let Simone do the work for you. She's had years of experience in sharing and printing photos and would love to help you bring your memories to life.

Slideshows can be created for all sorts of reasons - they may even be a compilation of photos and videos of your precious grandchildren!
Simone can create special slideshows for any occasion and prices range between $165 - $350 depending on the number of photos and videos, how much editing is required, whether scanning is required, and whether they have been supplied in chronological order.

Digital Photo Frames
In recent years, digital photo frames have greatly improved in quality. They are an excellent way to display your photos and most frames are wireless, meaning the images can be uploaded via the internet or via email.

Hourly rates apply.
