FAQ

 

What should I wear?

For the perfect Santa Experience, consider the following outfit options to make your photos even more magical:

  1. Christmas Outfit
  • Choose festive attire with coordinating colors that match this year's backdrop sets.
  1. Pajamas
  • Cozy up in your favorite Christmas pajamas for a cute and comfortable look.
  1. Casual Wear
  • Keep it simple and casual if that's more your style.


How long does the session last?

Each Santa session lasts 5-7 minutes or if your doing the unlimitedl, its 10 minutes. This time is perfect for capturing all the photographs you need while enjoying Santa's jolly spirit and festive charm.

What if my Child is afraid of Santa?

It's common for some children to feel nervous or afraid around Santa. Here are a few tips to help:


  1. Familiarization: Show your child pictures of Santa and talk about him in a positive light before the session.
  2. Bring a Favorite Toy: Bringing a favorite toy or comfort item can help your child feel more at ease.
  3. Parental Involvement: Consider joining your child in the photo to provide extra comfort and reassurance.
  4. Patience and Understanding: Our Santa and elves are patient and experienced in handling such situations. They will do their best to make your child feel comfortable.


Remember, the goal is to create a positive and memorable experience for your child. If your child is too scared, always hold your child facing away from Santa so that he/she cannot see him just yet!

Can we bring our own props?

Absolutely! You are welcome to bring whatever you feel will be great in your set!

Can my kids bring their Santa Letter?

Absolutely! Your kids are encouraged to bring their Santa letter. We will have a special Santa mailbox available for them to drop off their letters.
