Portrait Studio and Photography Business for sale.
After 12 years in the Studio the time has come for us to move on to pastures new as a family – so we’re moving to THE LAKES!
Many of our Customers will remember us first opening up in the “little corner” back in 1998, We quickly outgrew that unit and moved into unit 15 (the now Mobile Phone / Watch battery / PSP Repair / Film Memorabilia shop) after just 6 months!. That proved a very good move for us and we expanded into more photo and video services, then in 2001 the Furniture shop retired so we Jumped in and opened up 2 shops.
Today we occupy 2 units in Greensway Shopping Center, our “Photo & Video shop” is next to the Café and concentrates on all the photo and video services we offer:
