Jul 24, 2025 | By: Artistic Images, Portraits By Elizabeth

THE SANTA EXPERIENCE 2025

The Santa Experience 2025

Choose our Storybook Santa Experience On November 2nd or our brand new Merry Moments with Santa on November 9th.

THE STORYBOOK EXPERIENCE: SANTA'S CHRISTMAS CABIN

Step into a scene straight out of a cherished holiday memory—a rustic log cabin tucked away in a snowy forest, where magic comes alive and timeless traditions are reborn.

Inside, your children will be welcomed by the real Santa Claus for an unforgettable 30-minute visit filled with wonder and warmth. They’ll sip cocoa by the glowing fire, hear stories from Santa’s North Pole life, paint classic nutcrackers, and check to see if their names grace the beloved Nice List.

With soft snow falling outside and little ones in their cozy Christmas pajamas, this heartwarming experience feels like stepping into a treasured storybook from your own childhood.

It’s more than just a visit with Santa—it’s a memory your family will hold close for years to come.

MERRY MOMENTS WITH SANTA: SANTA'S MAGICAL CLOSET

Very few have ever been granted a peek inside Santa’s Magical Closet… until now.

In this enchanting experience, your children are invited behind the scenes of Santa’s world, where they’ll share laughter and conversation with the real Santa Claus himself. They may even get the rare chance to try on one of his extra suits—if they’re lucky!

Tucked away among velvet coats, shiny black boots, and twinkling surprises, Santa’s closet is full of wonder. With a little magic and a lot of joy, this sweet and playful session is one your family will never forget.

It’s a behind-the-scenes Christmas memory in the making—filled with giggles, wonder, and just the right touch of North Pole magic.

What’s the difference between the Storybook Session and the Merry Moments Session?

✨ Storybook Session (30 minutes):
This longer session is perfect if you’re hoping to purchase a storybook album. It allows plenty of time for your child to interact with Santa, creating a magical series of storytelling images. With more time and variety, you'll have a beautiful collection of moments to choose from—ideal for an heirloom album or larger wall art pieces.

Parents are also welcome to jump in for a few family portraits during this session.
If you have young children between 18 months and 3 years old, we highly recommend the Storybook Session. The extra time gives us the flexibility to gently warm up your little one and help ease any fears they may have about meeting Santa.

Booking Fee is $625 ($125 session fee and $500 credit towards your portrait order)

This year's Storybook Session is Santa's Christmas Cabin.

🎄 Merry Moments Session (15 minutes):
Short and sweet! This session is designed for children only and is best for families who want a handful of charming images without too many choices. While it’s possible to create enough for an album, the Merry Moments Session is not intended to tell a full story—it’s ideal for those not seeking an extended experience or a wide variety of images.

Booking Fee is $475 ($75 session fee and $400 credit towards your portrait order)

This year's Merry Moments Session is Santa's Magical Closet.

Parents,

Allow me to introduce you to our brand new Santa: Santa Billy! You will fall in love with his adorable smile, his ability to bring out the best in children and if you give him a hug you may just smell the slight scent of Candy Canes. 

We know you will LOVE Santa Billy and we can't wait for you to meet him in November!
