Your Session
Give your little ones a few unhurried moments with Santa. They can share their Christmas wishes, tell him what’s on their list, or take a moment to warm up while we capture the sweet expressions and little moments you’ll want to remember.
Each session lasts up to 7 minutes and includes 5 edited images.
If your group has more than four people total, includes four or more children, or you’d simply like more time with Santa, please book two back-to-back slots so each child has time with Santa.
The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. Santa is paid for the time reserved for your family, even if you’re unable to attend. Thank you for understanding.

Every Photo Fights MPS1
MPS1 is a rare, progressive disease that affects children. The Kennedy Ladd Foundation was started by a family living it. Your session helps us support families, partner with researchers, and fight for a cure.
