The Santa Experience 2024:

A Holly Jolly Christmas

 
 

NOVEMBER 23rd & 24th in Wilmington NC

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

He’s making his list and checking it twice!!

Stop by Santa's Regal North Pole Workshop in our beautiful new set complete with gilded doorway backdrop surrounded by gifts, a sled, rocking horse, lantern and so much more. The entire scene is framed with actual Christmas trees and lots of *real* twinkling lights to set a festive and enchanting mood for your sweet little one's Christmas memories.

Kids can read Twas the Night Before Christmas with Santa and tell him all of their Christmas wishes. We'll also have a golden rocking horse as well as baskets/crates for our littlest clients to be able to comfortably enjoy some of their first Santa memories!

This is a fifteen minute Christmas experience for your children with Santa and memories to last a lifetime.

Remind Santa that you're on the nice list and tell him your Christmas wish! Every child will be given a small gift from Santa as a reminder to be good--he's watching!

**New for 2024**

-Take a selfie with Santa! Kids of all ages will love this fun tradition unique to their generation. They can bring their own device or use a parents phone, and Santa will be happy to snap a fun instant memory for them!

-Santa will have a his list ready to go to check who is on his nice list right in front of your child. We will have a golden scroll with your child's name written on it for Santa to check! We are SO excited for this surprise and Santa's elves are busy working overtime for each child to see their own name on Santa's legendary NICE LIST! This is a surprise we did not even want to give away to our sweet models quite yet so we can capture every single reaction from every child in the most authentic way possible.



Our 2024 Christmas Sessions will be in a studio setting and decorated with the Christmas set you see pictured here. All portraits will be edited in a timeless, fine art style as pictured.

**Digital portraits will include images edited with a "snowy window" overlay (as if you are peeking into Santa's street scene from a nearby shop) and without the snowy overlay. Most images will include light "snow" to enhance the magical effect.

Each digital portrait will be painstakingly edited to acheive our painterly, classic Christmas style.

Limit 4 children per session. More children will require 2 sessions as we want to make sure each child enjoys their time spent with Santa, and make certain each child gets individual attention.

Depending on the cooperation of Santa's little guests, you can expect at least 12 final edited portraits, but very likely upwards of 15-20 or more. Remember, we cannot control if a child is overwhelmed or crying (and those can make for fun memories too!), but we will absolutely work very hard to make sure we capture this special moment for your family in a beautiful, caring, and artistic manner.

Turnaround time for Limited Sessions (edited) galleries is around 7-10 days from the date of your session.
