Visiting Santa in our storybook setting is unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Here, your child becomes the star of a cherished, old-fashioned Christmas storytelling adventure.
Our Magical Santa Experience offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for your child to step into a world of holiday wonder. In a private, cozy setting, your family will meet Santa for an unforgettable twist on the classic “pictures with Santa.”
As Santa’s stories unfold, children are swept up in the magic—checking the Nice List, sharing wishes, and delighting in his festive tales—creating moments that are captured to be treasured for years to come.
As you settle into our storybook setting, the timeless spirit of Christmas will surround you. You’ll watch as your children are swept up in the magic, love, hope, and wonder that Santa brings, filling the room with laughter and joy.
During our Magical Santa Experience, children are fully immersed in the holiday story. They’ll share favorite gifts from years past, peek into Santa’s magical bag, check the Nice List, and delight in his festive tales—all moments captured to be treasured for years to come. Your children’s imagination will run wild as the story unfolds, creating genuine smiles and emotions that Charleen, your photographer, will capture in every frame.
We design each session to be engaging and unforgettable for both children and parents. Families are encouraged to join the fun, capturing the magic together in photographs that become cherished memories.
This half-hour experience is a real-life storytelling adventure, enchanting children and adults alike as the wonder of the holidays comes to life. After your session, we’ll schedule a private viewing so you can select the fine art portraits and keepsakes that will preserve these magical moments forever.
Discover how our Magical Santa Experience transforms holiday memories into timeless treasures for your family.
