village events

lifestyle, retirement and aged care villages

crafted exclusively for retirement, lifestyle, and aged care communities, our curated experiences are designed to spark joy and connection.

whether your residents want to ignite their creative minds, master fun new photo skills, or simply sit back and enjoy a professional photo session, we have the perfect package to bring everyone together.

photo shoot

let’s be honest—nobody wants another boring, beige portrait.
we want to bring our relaxed, real-deal photography style to your village to capture your residents exactly as they are—raw, authentic, and full of life.

we’ll come straight to you and set up anywhere onsite that works, or even a favorite spot nearby that holds a bit of magic for them.
whether it’s a solo shot, a couple laughing together, or a chaotic family photo, we tailor the shoot to fit everyone perfectly.

let’s hatch a plan to ditch the stiff poses and give your residents a beautiful, unpolished keepsake their families will actually love.

cuppa with ya art

like a sip & paint, but much more relaxed.

we'll come to your village and set up for some creative fun and learning to help get your creative brain working.

we can arrange a variety of paint events, from water colour to acrylic, to abstract to collage, we will organise the event to suit the crowd.

and best of all we clean up after wards and you get to keep your masterpiece.

please note that a minimum session charge applies to all bookings. to maximise the value of your session, we highly recommend organising your group in advance.
the photo shoot will take place on-site at a location mutually agreed upon on the day. for a standard group of approximately five people, the session typically lasts around one hour. however, our priority is capturing the perfect shot, so we will remain on-site until the session is fully complete.
your final images will be delivered digitally within 48 hours of the shoot. physical prints can be arranged separately upon request.
if you are looking to book a larger, full-day event for numerous individual residents, please let us know, and we will happily provide a bespoke, high-volume quote to suit your specific requirements.
