You need to call me, you will be pleasantly surprised. I specialise in pregnancy, newborn, children, families, parties, cake smashes, christenings, engagements, weddings, preschool and sports shoots. I love working with children, and making my customers happy. My packages are affordable, and the choices are endless. Lasting Memories is extremely busy during the festive season, as we specialise in

Santa Photos... We take Santa photos at Santa's Hideaway Bringelly, and Richmond Marketplace. Santa Photos are by appointment only. At Santa's Hideaway Bringelly we normally offer 2 to 3 different backdrops and you receive approximately 10 magical minutes with Santa. All photos taken are put onto a USB. At Richmond Marketplace you receive approximately 5 magical minutes with Santa and 1 backdrop. The shopping centre now only offer USB's. We only use real Santa's, with great personalities and looks to match. We offer you a Santa portrait, not a Santa photo and encourage the whole family to attend as Christmas is about family, not just the children. If its the Easter bunny you are after, you can find him at Richmond marketplace or the Hideaway at Bringelly. Easter Bunny usually starts 2 weeks before Easter...

Barbara is teaching the Santas how online bookings work. 👩‍💻🎅

Santa: “Can’t people just send me letters?”
Barbara: “It’s 2026…” 🤣

Even Santa needs a little training before booking season begins! The calendars are made and the countdown is officially ON, less than a month to go!🎄✨

Just like last year, we’re taking a staggered approach to bookings, with our calendars opening across four days. Here’s the schedule:

Thursday 17 September — Enchanted (55 minute session, ideal for 3 families) + Sparkle Sessions (40 minute sessions, ideal for 2 families)

Friday 18 September — Pet + Fast Sessions (both 5 minute sessions)

Saturday 19 September — Magical Sessions (15 minute sessions)

Sunday 20 September — Sensitive Santa Sessions ( for children with special needs)

Booking details coming soon.

And don’t panic if you miss the first release! We’ll be adding more sessions throughout the coming months, so make sure you’re following us on socials for new dates and availability. 🎅📸

Things are getting a little tense at Santa's Hideaway … 😂🎅

The Santas have started fighting over which room is the BEST this year.

There have been words.
There have been accusations.
Someone may be getting moved to the Naughty List. 👀

🎄 Lounge Room
❄️ Snow Room
🧝 Elf Room

Help us settle it before Barb has to gets involved… Which room wins? 😂👇

🎄 Come take a little room tour with us! 🎅✨

We have three magical rooms this year and we’re SO excited to finally show you around! Come with Barb as she gives you a sneak peek inside and introduces you to our Santas…

There’s just one tiny problem... They’re sleeping. Let’s go wake them up! 😂🎅💤

🎄✨ THE ROOMS ARE HERE!!! ✨🎄

It’s finally time to introduce our three rooms for 2026! 🎅❤️

🛋️ The Lounge Room — cosy, classic Christmas magic and the perfect place to settle in with Santa.
❄️ The Snow Room — a little winter wonderland right here at The Hideaway.
🎄 The Elf Room — fun, colourful and FULL of cheeky little elves. See how many you can spot! 👀

We absolutely LOVE changing our rooms every year and we have been bursting to show you these ones!

Which room is your favourite? 😍👇

Are you ready to see this year’s rooms?! 🎄🎅✨

We LOVE changing things up every year, one of our favourite parts is seeing all your reactions when we finally reveal what we’ve created! 🥰

So… any guesses what we have planned this year? 👀

And there’s a little surprise waiting in Santa’s room this year too… 🎅🤫

Can anyone guess what it might be?

A little Barb update… ❤️

We know many of you have been wondering… WHERE THE HELL IS BARB?! 😂 Firstly, thank you for all the beautiful messages, check-ins and genuine concern. ❤️

Those of you who know Barb, and especially those who have been coming here for years, know this woman is basically indestructible. She has worked through just about every condition imaginable. But this time, her ankles finally gave way. So she went and got them fixed… and has essentially returned part woman, part titanium. 🤖

Frankly, we fear she may now be unstoppable. Because if you thought a couple of ankle issues were going to keep Barbara away from Christmas, you clearly haven’t met this crazy woman. 🎅🏼😂

She’s recovering, getting stronger by the day and will be back soon!

At this stage, we’re planning to start photos around the first or second week of September, depending on her recovery, and we’ll confirm the exact date very soon. And don’t panic! Because we’re starting a little later, we’ll be opening longer hours to make sure we can fit you all in. We’ve got you. ❤️

Richmond friends, we haven’t forgotten you either! We have some exciting news up our sleeves. But one Barb-related crisis at a time, please.

Barb actually wanted to make a video to update everyone… then looked at herself and said “absolutely not.” So we accepted these photos instead. 😂

For now, you’re stuck with our slightly unhinged content. Stay tuned and enjoy.

But jokes aside, thank you for caring about her. The messages, visits and love you’ve shown Barb really do mean more than you know. ❤️

Barb will be back soon.
Barb has titanium ankles.
Barb is apparently being rebuilt for Christmas.

Nothing stops Barb. Christmas could not possibly happen without her. 😂🎅🏼❤️

Three Santas but... Not one of them is talking.

So… where’s Barbara? 👀🎅

We’re starting to think they know more than they’re letting on.

The Santas have arrived. 🎅🎅🎅

They’re looking suspiciously happy with themselves… But we have one question.

Where’s Barbara? 👀

And more importantly… what have they done with her? Wrong answers only. 😂

🎬 RECOVERED FOOTAGE

What you're about to see was captured behind the scenes at The Hideaway Bringelly...

Every July... A mysterious and crazy woman awakens from hibernation.

She gathers the Santas.
She assembles the toys.
She locks the doors.

No one leaves until Christmas Day.

Based on true events.*
