Santa is coming back and it’s better than ever!  ***Photos from the new set are coming soon!***

Last year I had my “debut” Santa experience and it was a big hit!  We had a great turnout and so many people raved about how great their experience was!

I had a great time too, and so I’ve decided to invite Santa back this year, and have made some changes for the better!

Even 10 minutes for each family didn’t feel like enough time in my opinion, so this year, I’ve decided to extend the session times and give families two choices:

15 minutes with Santa – this is enough time for each child to sit on Santa’s lap, tell him about themselves, what they’d like for Christmas, check to see if they’re on the “good” list, maybe even peek into Santa’s magic bag or book.

30 minute “experience” – this session is for those who are looking for a bit more!  We’ll do some creative, fun ideas that will make for a great album or gorgeous wall art.  You’ll have time to play toys with Santa, read a story, tell him your wish list, get a nice portrait and a set of fun, interactive images of your child while he or she enjoys their time with Santa.  If you have children who need some time to warm up to Santa, this session will allow you that extra time, and we’ll set up the set with toys to look at, cookies, things that will make it a fun experience for him/her.

Santa sessions will be held on Saturday, November 11th from 9am-1pm

and Saturday, November 25th from 9am-1pm

Each family gets 15 or 30 minutes with Santa.  We will have books to read, a “good list”, maybe even some cookies.  They’ll get to spend time with Santa without having to wait in line.  Because we have extra time this year for each session, this should also minimize wait times from last year.  Your appointment is for your family only – I will not book multiple families in your time slot like at the mall, or make you wait in line.  We have a Christmas tree with gold trimmings, a “Santa’s workshop” style backdrop, and will add some gifts and extra decor as we plan for the day.

Each 15 minute session is $125 and includes 1 5×7 print or digital copy of your favorite image.

The 30 minute Experience Session is $250 and includes a $150 credit to apply toward your order.

I’ll take a variety of photos, and you can choose your favorite.  You’ll also have the option to purchase prints, cards, ornaments,  wall art, digital images, and albums right after your time with Santa. Extra prints and digital images start at $60, also available in packages for lower cost per print/digital.

Based on the level of interest I’ve already gotten at the mere mention of these sessions and the Limited Number of sessions available, I anticipate these sessions will be sold out very quickly.  If you’re interested in reserving your time, you may do so below.  If you have any questions, you may email me at [email protected]

Thank you!
