Holiday 2022

SOLD OUT

Step Into the Enchanted Christmas Forest . . .

Wander into Santa's enchanted forest and the land of holiday make-believe for a stress-free private holiday portrait experience. We're offering two exclusive days of holiday themed sessions :

SATURDAY : On Saturday, November 5, we're offering holiday family portraits. This day is perfect for families with older children or families who would like to emphasize family portraits. Pets and grandparents are welcome on this day. Santa will still be making his way from the North Pole, but his presence will be all around.

SUNDAY : On Sunday, November 6, Santa will be in the forest, interacting with children and part of the fun. This day is perfect with families with younger children or families who would like to emphasize portraits of the children with Santa more than family portraits. We'll photograph the children with and without Santa. There will be time for one brief family portrait with Santa.

Sessions are 20-minutes. Each session is for 1 or 2 children in the same family. Add $25 for one additional child up to 4 children total. For families of five or more children, please schedule a session immediately before or after.

Children should be able to sit upright on their own to fully participate or must be held in arms by a parent / grandparent as there will not be newborn or infant props on set.

$275 includes the portrait session + 6 digital images. The fee includes the time spent together photographing plus 6 color and black & white digital lightly-edited images that will be sent to you through an online gallery for immediate download and personal enjoyment. The turn-around time to receive your images is approximately 5 business days after your session. You will receive a "permission to print" letter allowing you to print the images, display them online, and use them to make holiday cards. Additional portraits and portrait products are available for purchase.

1 or 2 pets are welcome on SATURDAY ONLY. Do not bring more than 2 pets. Please note this does not extend the total time of the session and may detract from the focus of our session, resulting in fewer images overall. Pets MUST be accompanied by a handler who will NOT be part of the portraits in any way. (Please bring super yummy treats for dogs as a way to bribe them into "smiling".)

What to Expect

Once you are booked and have given us your children’s names and ages, you'll receive a confirmation email. Shortly before the session, you'll receive an official letter from Santa at the North Pole inviting your children to his magical land (assuming you sign up with enough time for a letter to be mailed to you).

This letter includes an official entry ticket to Santa's enchanted forest. Some parents have their Elf On A Shelf deliver the letter; other parents come up with other creative ways to deliver Santa’s letter. Go nuts!

On the day of your session, you will wait in the warmth of your car until Santa’s elf comes for you. Children will have the chance to mail off their wish list to Santa in his magical mailbox. We'll check to be sure your child is on the "Nice List," shake a gift with their name tag on it, decorate the tree, and participate in other photographic holiday festivities. At the end of the session, each child will receive a goodie bag to take home.

Immediately after your session, Santa’s elves get busy working on your gallery. Approximately 5 business days later, you'll receive an email with a link to a private gallery. We are just as excited as you are to view your images and we work very diligently to turn them around quickly, but we ask that you please do not "check in" and inquire before they are done. We do not post "sneak peeks" or post online before sharing the gallery with you.

This gallery will contain at least 12 of the best images from your session. Your package includes the first 6 images, but you will certainly want them all!

These professional images are the perfect keepsake and commemorate a truly special time in their lives. They are perfect for your holiday cards, Grandparent gifts, a custom Christmas book, and are treasured for years to come.
