Treering partners with New Zealand’s PhotoLife

Personalized yearbook service Treering announced its expansion into New Zealand through a partnership with leading school photography provider PhotoLife. The move builds on Treering’s 2021 expansion into Australia with Easy Yearbooks and The School Photographer Alliance and reflects a broader shift across the ANZ region toward on-demand, personalized print models, the company said. PhotoLife, one of New Zealand’s most established school photography providers, will integrate Treering’s platform into its offerings, creating a streamlined workflow that connects school photography and yearbook production.

A key differentiator is Treering’s approach to inclusion. Every student receives two free custom pages in their own copy of the yearbook, ensuring each child is personally represented. Schools design the core book to tell the year’s shared story, while families can add photos and memories that reflect their individual experiences.

“In Australia, we’ve seen strong adoption as schools move away from rigid print cycles and toward more flexible, on-demand solutions,” said Kevin Zerber, Co-Founder and CEO of Treering. “That same appetite exists in New Zealand. Schools want less financial risk, fewer logistical headaches, and a yearbook experience that guarantees every student is included. Partnering with PhotoLife allows us to bring that model to the New Zealand market.”

“Schools are looking for smarter systems that reflect how families operate today,” said Hamish Chadderton of PhotoLife. “On-demand production reduces pressure on administrators and removes the need to commit to large print runs months in advance. At the same time, Treering’s personalized pages ensure every student has a place in the book. It’s a meaningful evolution for yearbooks in New Zealand.”
