Enjoy & Save Fundraising


The 2009-2010 Enjoy & Save fundraising book has just been released throughout the St George, Sutherland and Illawarra areas and is being sold by many local clubs and organisations as part of their annual fundraising efforts.

These books are packed with discount vouches from many local businesses and major Sydney attractions, and not only help those organisations selling the books as fundraisers, but also the Kids Breakfree Charity which recieves part of the profit fom every book sold.

As participants in the book Seahorse Photographics just received our complimentary copy, and having spent some time looking through it over the last few days I can tell you that there are some really great discounts on offer from the businesses involved. So if you belong to a club or organisation that could do with another fund raising idea I recommend you contact Enjoy & Save at www.enjoyandsave.com.au and get involved.

Oh, and don't forget to keep an eye out for our discount voucher on page 232 (shown above) as we are offering 15% of the price of our portrait packages which in itself is a really great offer.

Welcome to our Blog


Welcome to the first Seahorse Photographics post! I thought we should try something a little different this year and I think this blog will fit in nicely with the overhaul of our website that will be happening in the next few weeks.

It is my intention to use the blog as a method of communicating directly with our customers as well as way of keeping our family and friends aware of some of the things we have been up to throughout the year.

So here goes....

When I was looking for a photograph to include with this post I just couldn't go past the one above. I took this at about 6:30am one morning last month while on holidays at the Novotel Resort Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast. This area of Queensland has been one of my favourite holiday destinations for some time, but this resort just takes the cake, and yes it really is as nice as it looks.

The resort itself is a little on the expensive side for our middle income budget, but for a relaxing family holiday with all the trimmings it is going to be difficult to beat. Our ten night package came complete with a king size room with plenty of space for our family of four, daily buffet breakfast, two sessions each day in the kids club, and access to all water sports including sailing and kayaking on the private lake. The resort is located right next to a patrolled surf beach and although it's not really my thing there is also a championship gold course literally two minutes up the road.

We generally like to stay at different places each time we head to Queensland but this is one place that is definitely on the list for a return visit. http://www.twinwatersresort.com.au

As for photographic opportunities lets just say there was more than enough to keep even a photography fanatic like myself clicking away for the whole trip.
