FAQs

Q: Can we take a couple of family photos during our Santa session?
A: Yes!  As long as we stay within the allotted time, Santa is happy to step aside so that you can get a nice family photo.

Q: What happens if my child has a meltdown and won’t sit with Santa?
A: Santa and I will do our very best to make your child feel comfortable and happy; however, sometimes things don’t go to plan!  We can’t go past the allotted 20 minutes since Santa’s schedule is booked solid for the day, so in this case, there are two options.  The first one is to embrace the tears as part of the memory!  It may not seem cute at first, but down the line, you will find them funny and endearing.  The other option is have Santa step aside while we take some lovely family photos without him.  And finally, if all else fails and we haven’t taken any great photos, I can offer you a reshoot on a different day, without Santa.

Q: Are dogs allowed?
A: For Santa minis, unfortunately no; Santa’s suit must be kept allergen free.  For Holiday minis, yes; dogs must be thoroughly groomed beforehand to reduce shedding, and paws must be wiped upon entering the studio.

 

TERMS

Time slots are for one family at a time and may not be shared with friends.  Extended family photos are fine, but the time slot will not be extended; I will do my absolute best to capture genuine smiles, however if the children are uncooperative, you may have to book an additional session, or be ok with imperfect expressions/poses/moments as they are.  You may book back-to-back sessions if you have multiple families that want photos together and separately.  Please contact me if you have special needs, and I will do my best to accommodate you.
