Supporting Shellharbour Surf Life Saving Club since 2017

Our goal for 2023 is to raise up to $5000 for the club!

Every photography booking will help us reach our goal and continue to support SSLSC.

From The Illawarra Mercury:

Quote from the article:

“He’s more commonly associated with the snow than the sand, but for the past four years Santa Claus has dutifully turned out at Shellharbour North Beach to have his photo taken with local families ahead of Christmas.

Shellharbour Surf Life Saving Club’s Will Furney is behind Santa’s annual appearance, which raises money for the club and, in turn, the services it provides for the community.

He was inspired after seeing other clubs undertake similar projects, he said, and thought it was a nice reflection of Christmas in Australia. Mr Furney said it was also a way to reach out and bring the community closer to the club.

The initiative has grown massively – the first year there were 60 photos booked in, while this year a huge 660 tickets have been sold – and Mr Furney tries to accommodate as many people as possible…” (Source: The Illawarra Mercury, 13th Dec 2021).

We have a treasured shared history with Shellharbour Surf Life Saving Club.
The more you give, the more life gives you in return!

When the reindeers are busy, SkyDive Australia is the only way to go!!!

With all the excitement of elves before Christmas, we are super excited to be
launching into the 2023 season of Santa Photos On The Beach.

Will Furney is leading our team, we have fantastic new photographers on our team and we are just so excited to be sharing the experience with all of you again.
