From years of collected photos and cherished moments, I curate and design beautiful heirloom photo books and wall art that give your memories a permanent home - memories that can be held, shared and passed down to future generations.

Every story takes shape differently

From treasured family moments to lifelong legacies, wedding celebrations and gallery walls, I create keepsakes tailored to your story and how you want to share it.

Memory Photo Books

Family holidays, birthday milestones, yearly highlights, school memories, adventures with friends. The photos you’ve been collecting for years, designed into a beautifully crafted book you’ll want to flip through over and over.

Life Story Photo Books

A rich, narrative-driven book that weaves together photos, memorabilia and personal stories to capture a life, a legacy, or a chapter worth preserving. The kind of book that gets picked up on a Sunday afternoon and passed around the table.

Photo organising

If you’re overwhelmed by the volume of your photos - either digital or printed - and need assistance in getting them organised, I offer this service and can work with you to get the process underway. Alternatively, I can take on the whole project from start to finish.

Workshops/Training

If you'd like to create your own photo book but want some guidance first, I offer 1:1 training, either face to face in the comfort of your own home if you're local, or via Zoom for intrastate and interstate clients. For libraries and community groups, I also run group workshops on photo book design, held in weekly sessions over three weeks.

Hi! I’m Simone

The storyteller, curator and designer behind every keepsake created at Your Story Folio.

I've always believed that photos are more than images, they're the stories of our lives. In my role as a photo organiser, I’ve seen so many people with years of beautiful memories tucked away on phones, hard drives and in old albums, waiting to be brought together. 

I love working closely with my clients to gather those moments and carefully curate them into heirloom keepsakes that can be held, shared and passed down. Whether it's a family milestone, a life story or a wedding day, every project is personal to me and I bring the same care, warmth and attention to detail to each one.

Bringing your story together

Every project begins with a conversation and ends with something beautiful in your hands. Here's what the journey looks like when we work together.

01

Let's chat

We start with a relaxed conversation about your memories, your vision and what you'd love to create.

02

Gather your memories

I guide you through collecting your photos, memorabilia and stories from wherever they live, or if you've already gathered everything, I'll help you get your images safely to me.

03

Design and refine together

I curate and design your keepsake, then share it with you for feedback so it feels exactly right.

04

Your heirloom, delivered

Your finished photo book or wall art is printed, bound or produced to the highest quality, ready to hold, share and treasure.

Every story takes shape differently

From treasured family moments to lifelong legacies, wedding celebrations and gallery walls, I create keepsakes tailored to your story and how you want to share it.

Kind words

Simone, thank you sincerely for your absolute passion and dedication towards the most amazing photo album for our daughter. You were able to encapsulate wonderful memories from all her 21 years. Your creative edge with visual artistry brought the memories to life in so many ways. For people who own a business and are very time poor, you took total control and were exceptionally organised, turning something that seemed so hard into a very, easy process. You are an incredible, talented person. Without you, there is no way we could have achieved the unbelievable outcome you delivered which was way beyond expectation. Thank you so much.

Leon and Natalie

Simone was brilliant with a last-minute idea to put together a photo book of our family life in Australia to give as a gift to my husband’s family who live in Spain. With a tight deadline, I left all the details to Simone (she has full access to my photos) and it came out beautifully. This was such a unique gift that will be treasured and I can’t recommend Simone enough for keeping our photos up to date, which enabled her to pull this together so seamlessly for us.
