SANTA EXPERIENCE


This Christmas, give your children the gift of magic—and yourself the gift of remembering it forever.

 

 

We are only given a handful of Christmases where our children truly experience the wonder and magic of Santa through their eyes. 

You are invited to an exclusive, early-access booking opportunity for our highly anticipated Santa Experience, taking place November 7th and 8th.

Before sessions are released to the public, our VIP families are given the first opportunity to reserve their preferred date and time. These limited-edition sessions are offered for just two days each year—and they sell out quickly.

Guided by Santa himself, your child will discover their name on the Nice List, share their Christmas wishes, learn the secrets of the reindeer, play with classic toys, and even receive a special surprise of their own!

VIP booking is now open in limited quantities. Once these sessions are claimed, remaining availability—if any—will be released to the public.

We encourage you to reserve early to ensure your place in this one-of-a-kind experience.

Come and see for yourself. Let the magic begin! 


Why Book THIS Experience?

"Michelle's attention to detail is incredible!"

Michelle has been capturing photos of my boys since my youngest was born—he’s now 5 years old, so we’ve been going to her for the past five years. Every year, we take Santa pictures with her, and it’s become a cherished tradition for our family. She makes the entire experience fun, relaxed, and truly magical. Michelle has a special gift for working with kids and always knows how to capture the perfect moments. Her attention to detail is incredible, and the photos always turn out beautiful. We’re so grateful for the memories she’s helped us create over the years!

– Katrina S.

"The way Santa interacted with our kids was just magical!"

We had the most magical experience with Michelle during our Santa session! The way Santa interacted with our kids was just magical! Every detail of the set was beautiful and added to the excitement of the experience. Michelle captured our time with Santa perfectly! This isn't just a visit with Santa, this is truly a magical experience! We're so grateful ad we can't recommend enough!

-Carrie G.

"My husband booked our appt while I was in labor!"

 My husband had been telling me I was spending too much money on photos (like all husbands do) and I was 9 months pregnant but I was determined to get Santa photos with Michelle! The day I wound up going into labor was supposed to be release day for the sessions, I was panicked! I kept telling my husband we were going to miss our spot. We kept refreshing our emails, but nothing. Fast forward we are at the hospital, and I am in active labor and I turn to my husband and I said-"Check the emails!!!" He did and there it was, I told him I wasn't going to push until he agreed to book the session!!!!  He did and thankfully we were able to get a session and I was so thankful! That is how much I wanted these photos!!!!

Booking is easy! Just click on the button beneath the package description and you will be directed to a contact form. Fill out the form and you will be immediately sent a booking link!

What should my child wear for the session?

 

The Santa Experience is a magical time! Dress in something festive that coordinates with the set of your choosing! Here are some examples:

Santa's Study: This is the most formal of the sets. You can do your christmas best or festive holiday pajamas.

Santa's Toy Room: Pajamas are always my favorite for this set! But you could also do something bright and colorful!

I will send you an email during the process to discuss this in more detail!

How long will the session be?

This year the session times have been extended to up to 15 minutes. If you purchase the Ultimate Santa Experience that is up to 30 minutes.

Can I choose a different set for family pictures?

Yes! If you choose the Ultimate Santa Experience package you may have your family pictures done on the set of your choosing.

If you choose a single set, family pictures will be taken on that set.

Do you offer prints or just digital images?

All packages include digital prints but you may add on fun holiday items! A list of options will be sent out to you!

What is included with the Signature Painted Edit?

Great question!  Each image has soft painterly enhancements created to resemble a Norman Rockwell inspired storytelling style. This transforms your portraits into heirloom pieces of art. It is a client favorite and our most chosen editing style.
