Both of our professional REAL Santas are amazing, have decades of experience, and fully embody the magic of the Holiday and Christmas season. If you are a returning client, check the info on the booking page for each Santa's schedule.
Your children will get to enjoy every interactive scene with Santa Claus. Parents will have the opportunity to join for family portraits in one of our scenes. Grandparents may be included as well but other extended family members may not. If you want to include a furry family member, please check the schedule and let us know in the booking form
Well-behaved dogs and other furry friends are allowed to participate in your family portraits during our Magical Santa Experience on Sundays. Please include this information in your booking form
Your child doesn't have to do anything that makes them uncomfortable. We don't push for "lap sitting" or any other physical contact, and ultimately it's up to you and your child how they interact with Santa. We will take amazing photos either way!
Absolutely not! While Santa has been a Christmas tradition for centuries, he not only embodies the spirit of that wonderful holiday but also of the entire holiday season. Santa's magic is for all children, and everyone is welcome in our studio regardless of religion, culture, background or family structure. We accept ALL families.
We will do our absolute best to encourage your child to interact with Santa in every exciting scene, and to inspire as many smiles as possible. We can't guarantee smiles but we promise you'll receive beautifully edited and magical photos, and that your family will create memories to last a lifetime!
Here are some tips to prepare your children for their Magical Santa Experience:
- Make sure they know what to expect
- If your child is or might be fearful of Santa, we recommend talking about him every day, and maybe even watching some fun and friendly videos for several days leading up to your session
- Plan and coordinate outfits in advance. Remember that parents can be included in the fireplace scene and snowy forest scene, so dress everyone accordingly
- Have fun and let their personalities shine through!
The Magical Santa Experience session is 25 minutes with 5 minutes between each session.
The Magical Santa Experience session includes 12 beautifully edited photos full of magical touches. You will have the opportunity to earn additional photos through our referral program, giveaways and contests.
Our turnaround time is two weeks or less. For our last weekend, November 22nd-23rd, we try to finish the photos faster to get them to everyone before December. If you are in a time crunch, or concerned at all about the timing, reach out to us and we can give you the option of rushed photos (5 days or less) for an additional fee.
All sessions are fully private and by appointment only in our home studio. Photos are delivered securely and never shared publicly without your consent. Families of all sizes and profiles are welcome, and additional discretion is always accommodated. If you have specific privacy concerns and/or would like to request a specific appointment time, reach out to me directly through jen@redbarnholidays.com
