The nervous excitement before they walk into the room, the way their face changes when they realize Santa is actually right there. They get to have a conversations about what is on their Christmas list, their the tiny voices answering his questions, the giggles, and the hugs. Those years go incredibly fast.
Santa Minis are about capturing a little piece of that magic while it's still real to them.
These sessions take place indoors at the studio, so no worrying about November weather, freezing little fingers, or trying to convince a toddler to smile while everyone is bundled into winter coats.

Make Santa's Visit Even More Magical
If you'd like Santa to have something waiting specifically for your child, you have two options. You can drop off a wrapped and clearly labelled gift ahead of your session, and I'll make sure Santa has it ready when your child arrives.
Or, you can add an age-appropriate wrapped book from Santa to your booking and I'll take care of everything for you. Imagine their face when Santa doesn't just know their name, he has something waiting for them.
At the end of the session, with the parents' permission, the child is also allowed to pick a candy cane off the tree, coming in MANY different flavours. This always ends up being a highlight for the kids.
A Santa Experience Designed for More Kids
Christmas experiences can be overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with unfamiliar people, bright environments, expectations to sit still, or pressure to interact immediately.
Our Santa is experienced working with children with additional needs, including autistic children, and there is no expectation that your child needs to experience Santa in one particular way.
They don't have to sit on his lap, or look at the camera, or smile on command, They can take a little time to figure him out.
The goal isn't to force the "perfect Santa photo." It's to meet your child where they are and photograph their experience.
The studio and Santa Mini setup are also wheelchair accessible.
If your child has specific needs that would help make their visit more comfortable, you can let me know on your booking form.
These sessions are also the only sessions where well mannered, fully potty trained, four legged family are able to join you in the studio.
Some of my favorite Santa sessions have included cute doggy's! I don't know who's more excited, Santa or the dogs.
Please make sure that your doggy will be safe with the studio, Santa, myself, and anyone who might be waiting in the waiting room, including other dogs. We have never had any hiccups with any of the dogs visiting and I would love to continue to be able to include them in these sessions. One persons bad discretion could ruin it for all the dogs who would love photos with Santa in the future.
As well as dogs being included, you can include as many people as you'd like in your session. I don't limit the amount of participants. There's also no age limit!
If you'd like to make the photos extra fun by wearing special outfits, or bringing your own props, feel free.
Santa and I love making this experience extra special for everyone, we're looking forward to another year of magical memories, with new clients and returning clients.
What a wonderful tradition to start with your family.
**All final galleries will be returned by December 23rd the latest, please add a rush if you'd like them sooner for cards etc.**
