How is Santa Photos by Jordan Photography different from other Santa options?

We are locally owned and operated. We are a portrait studio style Santa photo operation. We only hire professional photographers to take the photos. We are a professional photography company year around and not just during the holiday season. We train and pay our employees well to ensure they provide the best possible customer service experience. We are extremely selective of who we hire and are committed to offering the very best Santa photo service in our industry.

Does your Santa have a real beard?

We only use naturally bearded Santas and are extremely selective of our Santas to ensure they look the part. Our Santas have appeared in national television and print advertisements for companies like Garmin and Cabela’s. They can even be seen on an occasional Hallmark card.

Can I see a photo of what your Santas look like and when they are scheduled?

We have created a special page on our web site with our Santa schedule and what the Santas look like. Visit https://www.jordanphotography.com/town-center-plaza-santa-schedule.html to see our Santa schedule and hours. At the bottom of the SCHEDULE page is a photo of each of our Santas.

What will Santa wear for my visit?

Santa wears his traditional red velveteen sleigh wear. Check out the GALLERY section of this site for pictures of Santas outfit.

Can we schedule and appointment to visit Santa?

Yes, the days of waiting in interminably long lines with a restless child are over! You can now schedule an appointment to visit Santa. This 3-5 minute photo session creates a system that gets you in and out and on your way. A credit card is required when scheduling an appointment. You can cancel your appointment online up to 24 hours before your scheduled appointment without being charged a cancellation fee. Late cancellations or No-Shows are subject to a $25 cancellation fee. Appointments are available Nov. 28th through Dec 23rd. Schedule your appointment today at https://www.jordanphotography.com

Why do you need a credit card when we schedule an appointment?

The credit card is required in an effort to discourage double-booking appointments and no shows. You can cancel your appointment online up to 24 hours before your scheduled appointment without being charged a cancellation fee. Late cancellations or No-Shows are subject to a $25 cancellation fee.

Why is there a $1 transaction on my credit card after booking an appointment?

This it not a charge, but a hold. A temporary $1 hold is placed on the card as part of the verification step of the Genbook credit card capture process. It will disappear back into the account within a few business days.

What if I have to cancel my appointment?

We understand things come up, illness, weather, etc. As soon as you know you are unable to make your appointment we request you cancel your appointment online. All appointment confirmation emails will contain a cancellation link. You can cancel your appointment online up to 24 hours before your scheduled appointment without being charged a cancellation fee. Late cancellations or No-Shows are subject to a $25 cancellation fee. If available, you can reschedule for another day and time. We do everything we can to try to fit families in if we have any cancellations.

Do you take walk-ins or do we have to schedule an appointment?

Appointments are now required! If you don’t have an appointment, we will do everything we can to try to fit families into an available appointment slot. There are 3-4 appointment slots available per 15 minute scheduled time.

What are the best times to visit Santa?

November and early December are the best time to visit Santa. Lines are always shorter earlier in the season and generally earlier in the day. The closer to Christmas the busier Santa gets.

Can we bring our pets in for a photo with Santa?

Yes you can bring your pet in anytime between November 28th and December 18th. Appointments are required. Scheduled sessions allow us the opportunity to prepare for you in advance. When you arrive, please meet our staff at the door and let them know you have a pet. We request that your pet wait outside until their turn. All pets are welcome, but must be secured on leash, in a carrier or held by the owner at all times. For everyone’s safety, please do not bring your pet if they have a history of biting or aggression with people or other animals.

If I’m coming with another family, do we need to book separate appointments?

If you are seeing Santa separately or together it is best to book different appointments to make sure Santa is able to spend quality time with each child. We book 3-4 appointment per 15 minute time slot so most likely you can see Santa in the same time slot.

How much time do we get with Santa?

Each session will last between three and five minutes. This will give your little one(s) time to interact with Santa. The closer to Christmas the busier Santa gets and is not able to spend as much time with each child.

What are some ideas of things we can do during our session with Santa?

Your child can bring a wish list to share with Santa. Santa may show them pictures from our Christmas book. You can even bring their Elf On The Shelf for a few photos.

What are some ideas of things to wear during our session with Santa?

You can dress your child up in their Christmas best, pile on the hats and mittens or come in Christmas pajamas.

How can we prepare a child that may be scared to visit Santa?

You want Santa to be a good experience for your child and help them over any anxiety they may have. The key to overcoming Santa-induced stress is talking about what to expect. Explaining and describing what Santa looks like, and telling them that they don’t have to go up alone can help them feel prepared. It’s important to make it clear that if they get in line and change their mind, that’s OK. If a child wants to be nowhere near Santa, let them know there are other ways to get in touch with Santa such as writing a letter or draw a picture. Be sure to let your children know Santa will still get the message.

What if my child is scared and wants to be nowhere near Santa?

Peek A Boo Santa Sessions work great for children that are scared and want to be nowhere near Santa. Visit https://www.jordanphotography.com/town-center-plaza-santa-peekaboo.html for sample photos and more information.

What are your prices?

Visit https://www.jordanphotography.com/town-center-plaza-santa-pricelist.html to see our prices. We have many print combinations available which include multiples of 4 X 6, 5 X 7 and wallets.

Can I order prints from more than one pose/image?

We take several photos during your visit with Santa. You may add poses/images to any package for an additional charge of $3 each. This does not mean that you are getting any more than what is included in your package.

When will my prints be ready?

Immediately. A professional photographer will take your photos with Santa, one of our staff will show you your pictures and after you place your print order your prints are ready within minutes.

Do you offer high-resolution digital images?

We do offer digital files. They are included in some of the packages or you can purchase the digital file alone. The purchase of digital files come with a “permission to print” release allowing unlimited personal use reproductions up to size 8×12.

Do you offer photo Christmas cards?

Yes! We most definitely do. We have several fabulous card templates to choose from and each card comes with a mailing envelope. After you place your print order your prints are usually ready within minutes. Depending on the number of cards you order, you can wait for them to print or come back at your convenience to pick them up.

Can we take our own pictures?

We respectfully request that you refrain from using personal photographic or video equipment. Personal photos or videos are not permitted during professional photography sessions. Professional photographer will end the photo session if personal cameras or camera phones are used. Videotaping is not permitted in the session at any time. We appreciate your cooperation and wish your family a very Merry Christmas!

Do we have to buy a photo?

Visits with Santa are always welcome. There is no obligation to purchase a photo.

Do you accommodate groups?

Certainly. Obviously, we are somewhat limited by the overall space, but we will always try to accommodate your group. If scheduling an appointment, each family should have a separate appointment. Group photographs can be accommodated as long as both families have booked appointments back to back.

What is Sensitive Santa®?

Sensitive Santa® is a program designed to allow children with autism or sensory processing disorders to visit Santa in a safe and calm environment. This program is a joint effort between Jordan Photography, local autism societies and organizations.
