FAQs

Can we take a few family photos during our Holiday Mini / Santa Session?

OF COURSE! As long as we are still within your scheduled timeframe, Santa is overjoyed to step aside so that you get a few nice family portraits. While we are at it, why not get a family photo with Santa!?

How many images can we expect & when can we expect to get them?

There’s no set image count, you get them all!! Though I guarantee at least 15, I tend to deliver galleries much larger than that.

You will receive your online gallery within 10 days of your session. You will have full rights to the photos, so you can print, post, & distribute them however you want!

What happens if my child has a meltdown & won’t sit with Santa?

Sometimes things just don’t go the way we plan… & that’s okay too. I start the session out with some family portraits. If your child reacts in fear, you’ll already have some nice family portraits.

Santa & I will do our very best to make everyone feel comfortable and happy. Santa is incredibly patient & is great with kids. If there are tears, sometimes we embrace them! It comes with the territory. Other times, Santa will step aside & it becomes the perfect transition into some alternative family portraits.

Are dogs allowed?

YES! We are very dog friendly*.

*For in-studio sessions, I kindly request that your fur baby be thoroughly groomed beforehand to reduce shedding, & comes with clean paws before entering the studio.

How many people can participate in our mini session?

If you desire a studio session, smaller groups of 5 or less are welcome.

For outdoor sessions, up to 6 members are included in the standard session ($250). Each additional family member is $25.

Families with 8 or more members need to reserve two time slots if you wish to achieve a variety of group combinations & give each person one-on-one time with Santa.

Do you require a deposit to book?

Yes! A $50 non-refundable retainer payment is due at the time of booking. Spots are not fully reserved until both the contract & payment have been received. Your remaining balance of $200 is due on or before the date of your scheduled session.
