Photos with Santa Appointment

This is a private one-on-one experience with Santa. During your visit, a photographer will capture your children’s reactions and real emotions to seeing and interacting with Santa. Sometimes parents need to be in the photo to get a child to relax so be prepared and dress accordingly. If your child is very afraid of Santa and wants nothing to do with him, check out the Peek A Boo Santa Option. This is a 3-5 minute portrait session. A credit card is required at scheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows are subject to a $35 cancellation fee.

Peek A Boo Santa Appointment

This optional experience is for children that might be afraid of Santa. If you know in advance that your child wants nothing to do with Santa, you can try this option. It is best to try this option before your child has seen Santa. Santa will be hidden when the child enters the portrait area. One way in pulling this off is to explain to your child that Santa is checking on his reindeer and that you want a portrait of them by themselves, with their siblings or with you. We set up the shot by keeping the child’s attention on the photographer. At the right moment; Santa will appear to place himself in the photo without the child knowing. Sometimes parents need to be in the photo to get a child to relax so be prepared and dress accordingly. We will spend a reasonable amount of time working with nervous children. Pictures will be made with Santa behind the subject(s). This is a 3-5 minute portrait session. A credit card is required at scheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows are subject to a $35 cancellation fee.
