A Visit with Santa

Yes, you will need an appointment for your Santa Session. We have limited dates in November located at our Renton, Washington studio. You do not have to wait in long lines for hours and your child will have the very unique experience of meeting Santa.  This is a private session for you and your family. It is wonderful to watch as we create an interactive storyline that your children immerse themselves in.

You can either wear solid-colored Christmas Pajamas, deep reds, and greens look great on our set. We love nightgowns for the girls and bare feet are preferred.  Or dress up in your best Christmas attire.  But please come ready for your session.

One week prior to your session you will receive in the mail a letter from Santa inviting them to his workshop.  Once there an elf will greet them and take them to our set.  Parents will be able to enjoy the session as they watch.  Once there Santa will arrive and interact them for about 15 to 20 minutes.  During that time they will so many things ending with them giving Santa their wish list  (downloadable here).  All the time our portrait artist will photograph the interactions between Santa and your children.   After their session the elf will take them to a room where they can watch Christmas movies. Parents will be able to view and order fine art images and albums that will be created.

No purchase is required, however, these portraits are timeless and most can’t leave without something they love.  Long after your children outgrow the magic of Santa you will want to keep these and pass them on to future generations to enjoy.  Our portraits start at $500 and our albums at $3900.  Some families spend $500 while others spend $5000.  Each image you order will have all the magic added.  We do not sell digital files.  Our images are meant to be displayed in your home year-round.

Please be a few minutes early.  We schedule our sessions back to back all day and our sessions will fill up.  You must be on time or risk forfeiting your session.  Session fees will not be refundable as we still have to pay our staff and Santa for your time.

Your child must be able to sit up on their own.

We offer museum quality framed portraits for the wall and desk prints in sizes 8×10 and up.  Most clients come for our custom storybook albums.  They are personalized for your child and tell a story that you will want to read over and over again.

15 minutes, but we have allotted 30 min just incase.

You will view your images immediately following your session. Your ordering session is adults only. Often a grandparent or loved one will take the children home following the session but we do provide Santa’s helpers with holiday movies, books and puzzles to keep your children busy while you order.
