Where did you find Santa? The north pole of course! Our Santa is absolutely fabulous! Santa Stephen and his wife, Margaret (Mrs. Claus), have been part of our family since 2016. A retired pastor, Santa Stephen brings a wealth of warmth and joy, while Mrs. Claus, a retired schoolteacher, adds her nurturing spirit to the experience. Both are deeply involved in their church in Brentwood and love spending time with their five grandchildren. I promise you and your children will be in for a treat! Santa Stephen has a knack for making everyone laugh and always has the most clever answers to your child's most interesting questions. He is never without words or wisdom!”
What should I wear to my Session: To create timeless and classic photographs, we recommend that the entire family dress in classic Christmas pajamas. Here are a few tips for choosing the best outfits:Stick to solid colors:
Solid colors tend to photograph much better than plaids and prints.
Avoid solid red: When children wear all red, it can blend in and clash with Santa's red suit. Instead, consider using green and white, which look fantastic against Santa’s red and white ensemble. Royal blue is also a great option!
If you're looking for high-quality pajamas, we recommend Only Little Once (an online store) for their soft and luxurious gowns. Many families have shared that their little ones continue to wear these pajamas frequently after our sessions. Another option is Primary & Petite Plume. You can also find great selections at Etsy, Target and Amazon, especially if you're looking for matching family pajamas. I highly recommend that you order in September or early October. Many stores sell out quickly!
Can I have more than one family in the session: We are happy to accommodate cousins and extended family members. You will need to be sure to book our Legacy Session as it allows us more time for each child.
Do you allow pets? As much as I love animals, we don’t allow pets. Pets leave dander and hair on Santa’s Suit which could transfer to other children who may be highly allergic. So, for the safety for all children we don’t allow pets.
What if my child is afraid of Santa? We recommend the sit and snap session for children under the age of two if they don’t have siblings. We usually don’t have children over the age of 3 to be afraid of Santa. If you are worried that your child may be afraid, please let us know ahead of time. We will take a few images without Santa in the room. I also suggest limiting the number of people you bring to watch.
Can we take our own pictures or video? Sorry, we do not allow any photography during your session. Please instruct any guest with you to refrain from taking photos or videos during the session.
When will we see our images? Immediately after your session, we will schedule a time for you to return to our studio a few days later for your personalized viewing and ordering session. If you're visiting from out of town, please email us prior to your session so we can pre-schedule arrangements for you to view your images on the same day or the following day after your session.
When will I receive my order? We do our best to have your images to you by December 15th so that you can have them to enjoy for the Holidays and for gifts.
Do you provide digital files? We provide shareable low resolution digital social media files for images that you purchase via a Photo App. Due to the nature of the artwork that is applied to every image, we don’t provide printing rights to any of our Santa images.
