Q: What Does My Session Fee Cover:

Your Session Investment Covers the Following:

​

One on one private session with Santa in a live,. totally interactive experience. This isn't a traditional photography session that has standard poses, but a live photojournalistic documentation of the family's interaction with Santa.  We have many different interactive triggers that Santa will naturally flow through depending on the age and cooperation of the participants.  Santa will read, sing, place candy canes and other decorations on the tree, and a whole lot more.  While this is all happening we will be capturing every moment.  If there is time at the end we can do the old school, staged, sit in Santa's lap photo, but this is not the focus of what the Santa Experience is all about.  it's more than just a photoshoot, it's a true experience that the family will talk about for years to come.

​

The session includes a print package:

1-8x10, 1-5x7, and 1-set of wallets (all of the same 1 selected image)

​

There are also Add-ons available:

​

CD/Digital Download- For all of my sessions I always sell my digital images for $2200, but when pre-purchaased with the Santa Experience I give the limited opportunity to own all of the images in the session's gallery for an incredible discount: $499.  This can not be purchased after the session and over 80% of families every year purchase the CD. This is an image CD or digital download with a pdf that gives you the consumer printing rights to the images.  You can print out as many prints as you would like, create albums & books, etc. This is not a video CD. 

​

The $50 for $100 print credit is exactly what it states. This is paid in advance of the session only and can be used towards additional prints only. This cannot be applied towards the CD/Digital Download or the session (good try, for those of you that have been creative enough to ask.)

​

Coffee Table Books are available in two sizes: 5x5 & 8x10, as well as additional pages for them.

​

Canvas Photo Ornaments are available in sets of 3.

​

Extending the session allows extra time which works perfectly for larger families, children with special needs, potential uncooperative children (those scared of Santa), and first timers that are nervous about knowing if they have enough time.  Many families have made this a long term tradition and over the years they find the standard single session is more than ample time for their family.

​

Q: Can We Change Outfits During the Session:

The session time slot is very strict, so any changing of clothing will take away from the experience and shooting time.  The time slot cannot be extended based on this lost time.  We recommend coming already in outfits, PJs, etc prior to arrival and check-in.

​

Q: Can I Bring My Own Props:

We know Pinterest ideas are all the rage, but we cannot guarantee the usage of any external props. Thousands of dollars have been invested for a beautiful upscale interactive set with many triggers that we already have tested. Let the magic of the Santa Experience take flight on its' own and you will be amazed.

​

Q: What Happens if My Child Doesn't cooperate:

There are no guarantees that every child is ready to see and interact with joy with Santa. The Santa Experience has had a 97% success rate in its' past years of photographing hundred upon hundreds of families.  We will capture what is present.  If there s a resistance we cannot force happiness and joy on a child.  We can however do a "Drop and Run" and have fun images you can show off to their first date when they are teenagers.

​

Q:Can I Bring Our Pet/Animal(s):

Due to allergies of other families we do not do Santa Experience sessions that include pets.

​

Q: Is this Just for Children or Can Other Family Members Participate in the Session:

This is not exclusive to children.  The entire family can participate as well.  Keep in mind, the more people on the set, the more crowded the photos and less attention on the little ones.

​

Q: How Old is Too Young:

Babies have participated as young as 3 days old!

​

Q: How Old is Too Old:

If you are young at heart, you are always welcomed to participate.
