DHA captures the essence of a modern Defence family.

At DHA we pride ourselves on capturing 'real-life' Defence families in all of our materials, through family photos and testimonials. It enables us to truly reflect the Defence lifestyle and allows us to give something back to our Defence families and hopefully offer some photos that can be cherished for years to come.

DHA is offering FREE photo shoots for a LIMITED number of Defence families across the country (valued over $1,000).

We are currently seeking expressions of interest from Defence families that live in a DHA home or who have some experience with DHA.

"What a great day... the girls were bursting with energy and naturally loved being the centre of attention. It's not very often that we're all in a photo together, so it's really nice to have some family photos of us all. The energy captured and creative style of the photographs was really impressive".

SOME OF THE FINE PRINT: Photos will take place in or around your home and will be a mix of uniformed and non-uniformed photos. The photographs will be taken by a professional photographer selected and directed by DHA. The photo shoot will occur at a date that is mutually convenient for both parties, but must be undertaken no later than December 2010. Allow 2-3 hours. A DHA staff member will be in attendance at the photo shoot. Families will be provided with copies of the photos and are able to use these for personal use. All photos remain the copyright of DHA. Photos will be used in DHA's marketing materials, at their own discretion, and for an agreed period of time (up to three years). Photo opportunities are limited so get in quick! All other names will be added to our photo database and contacted for future photo shoots. A testimonial may accompany your photo in our marketing materials (not unlike what we have used in this advertisement). The testimonial will come out of a brief, casual discussion, and of course, honesty is always welcome so that we can tell the 'real stories'.
