Our style of photography is focused on producing high quality, natural and creative works of art that will be treasured for years to come.

Our experience
The latest achievement was being asked to be "Festival of Music" offical photographer. This event is held at Festival Theatre over 12 days with 12 shows and approximately 400 children a night!
One of our proudest achievements was to be asked to be Theatre Bugs’ resident photographer – you can check out their website by clicking here. We’re very happy to say that nearly every photo on their wonderful website has been shot by a Treasured Memories Photography professional photographer! We consistently photograph their students at all their holiday programs, performances and for any publicity photos.
We offer our special 'back on the same day service' where we photograph each student in character and then print the photos at a professional lab and have them back for the parents to view and purchase. This is an extremely fast and funny experience with kids in costumes!
We are also very proud to say that we have been the official photographers for the Wakakirri - National Story Festival and the 'Can do 4 Kids' charity in Adelaide.
Why are photos important?
Just some of the reasons hiring a professional photographer is a great investment:
- Photos are the first thing you would grab if you knew your home was going to burn (after your children, your animals - oh, and maybe your husband)
- Photos are capturing moments of something that means a lot to you. They create treasured memories of moments that might otherwise be forgotten.
- Photographs are your history, they tell a story about your life, who you are, and what you have done
- "No matter what, everybody should have special photos that one day they can look back on. Even if it’s just one..." – Peta Grace
