Step 1: Purchase your spot on this page.
💫 After your payment, you will be guided to schedule a short phone call with our team to learn the details, ask any questions, and reserve your family’s spot. We’ll confirm date and time, explain what to expect, and note any special requests (like Santa handing out a surprise gift).
💫 Step 2: Get ready for your session
We’ll send simple style tips and outfit ideas so you know what to bring. Need help? We’ll coach you on color choices, pajamas vs. outfits, and what works best on camera. If you want Santa to hand out a gift during the session, tell us and we’ll explain how to drop it off or hand it to our team on arrival.
💫 Step 3: Arrive early and enjoy story time
Come a little early to get settled. Your family will have a private, cozy visit with Santa — story time, wish lists, giggles, and a relaxed mini photoshoot while the moment unfolds naturally. Our team captures the little expressions and magical reactions in a calm, no-rush environment.
💫 Step 4: View, order, and take home keepsakes
About one week after your session, return for your Viewing & Ordering Appointment. You’ll see your images for the first time, choose favorites, and pick products — from digital images to wall art and Storybooks. Every Story Time with Santa includes a keepsake snow globe with one of your session photos.

Testimonials
"We used to take the kids to see Santa at the mall, and it was always stressful with the long lines, rushed photos, and grumpy kids. This year was completely different. The private session gave us time to relax, laugh, and actually enjoy the moment. The photos captured their joy perfectly, and the storybook we ordered is something we’ll cherish forever. I can’t recommend it enough!
"My daughter’s eyes lit up the second she walked into the set. She also whispered her Christmas wish to Santa and it honestly felt like magic. There were no distractions, no rushing. Just us, Santa, and pure Christmas wonder. Now every time we flip through our storybook, we get to relive that special moment."
"At first, I wasn’t sure if we should do a private Santa session, but wow… it was worth every penny. The whole process was stress-free, the set was beautiful, and the photos are absolutely stunning. Most importantly, my kids actually had FUN. These aren’t just pictures, they’re memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime."
