Your Safari Story, Preserved

Your Safari Story, Preserved

Alice who works in photography was really helpful in making sure we captured our adventure. We were able to rent a camera and she made sure we knew how to use it and edit our photos like pros.

Also, a special mention to Johnny in the creative lab. It’s the first time we have hired a camera, previously relying on our iPhones. This is a game changer and the quality is awesome and with Johnny's help we have an outstanding pictorial record of our visit to treasure forever.

Alice in the creative lab was also so patient and helpful when I visited there to edit some photos and get some of my photos printed on canvases. They turned out beautifully!
