"She's been so fabulous with all of our kids and captured so many great pictures! I always want them all!!" -Kim Landry, Calgary, Alberta
“We have done the Santa Experience for the last 2 years and my kids absolutely love it. It was perfect for my 2 year old who does not go to strangers willingly, as Santa interacted with him and gave him marshmallows and showed him different objects to warm up to him. I love that the pictures tell a story and my kids love all the one-on-one time they get to spend with Santa.” - Bonnie Parker, Calgary, Alberta
Your email will not be sold, rented or spammed. Thank you to all of you, that have come and made it an enjoyable experience! 2022, will be my 6th year of Santa sessions, and I couldn't have done it without all of you!
This family session is private with Santa in a totally live interactive experience. This isn't a traditional photography session that has standard poses, but live photojournalist documentation of the family's interaction with Santa.
I have a variety of interactive triggers that Santa will naturally flow through depending on the age and cooperation of the participants. Santa might read, sing, place candy canes and other decorations on the tree, and a whole
lot more. While this is all happening we will be capturing every moment. If there is time in the end we can do the old-school staged sit-in Santa's lap photo, but this is not the focus on what the Santa Experience is all about. It's more than
just a photoshoot, it's a true experience that the family will talk about for years to come!
I am licensed and insured, and I take police checks/vulnerability sector searches seriously. I make sure Santa has updated paperwork, too.
Q. How long is the session:
Each private session lasts up to 10 minutes, with 5 minutes on a 2nd set.
Q. Does Santa have a real beard? Yes! Although, Santa's appearance will change, depending on location, times and dates.
Q. Can We Change Outfts During the Session:
The session time slot is very strict, so any changing of clothing will take away from shooting time. The time slot can not
be extended based on this lost time. We recommend coming already in outfts, PJ's etc prior to arrival and check in.
Q: Can I Bring My Own Props:
We know Pinterest ideas are all the rage, but we can not guarantee the usage of any external props. I have spend time, money, and effort investing a beautiful upscale interactive set. Let the magic of the Santa Experience take flight on it's own and you will be amazed.
Q: What Happens if My Child Doesn't Cooperate:
There is no guarantees that every child is ready to see and interact with joy with Santa. We have had a 97% success rate
in the last 5 years of photographing families. We will capture what is present. If there is resistance we can not force happiness and joy on a child, just embrace this moment, for who they are at this stage in their life.
Q: Is this Just For Children or Can Other Family Members Participate in the Session:
This is not exclusive to just children. The entire family can participate as well. Keep in mind the more people in the set
the more crowded the photos and less attention on the little ones. It is best for 4 children of one family at one time, if you have more than 4, one must book two time slots, back to back...giving you more time to spend with the man in red!
