Santa Mini Sessions 2026: A Truly Magical Experience for Your Little Ones

There's a reason families come back to our Santa sessions year after year - and it's not just the photos. It's the magic that happens the moment your child meets Santa.

This will be my 7th year offering Santa mini sessions, and I couldn't be more excited (and, honestly, a little sentimental) about this season. This year will be the last with the Santa our families have come to know and love - he's retiring after this — which makes these sessions even more special.

Sessions are booking up fast. We're already more than halfway booked just about two weeks after opening, so if you've been thinking about it, now's the time.

Meet Our Santa

Every year, families tell me the same thing: "He's the real Santa." Kids believe it. Parents believe it, a little bit too. He has this rare gift of making every single child - no matter their age or comfort level - feel completely at ease in his presence.

He doesn't just sit and pose. He gets down on the floor with the little ones, meets them right at their level, and lets the visit unfold naturally. If a toddler is more interested in pushing a toy car back and forth than sitting still for a photo, he's right there on the ground pushing it back, fully present and having just as much fun as they are.

For the Kids Who Need a Little More Space

Not every child is ready to climb straight into Santa's lap — and that's completely okay. We have a rocking horse prop set up nearby for kids who want to be part of the magic without getting too close right away. Santa meets them exactly where they are, whether that's a big hug or a wave from a few feet away on the rocking horse.

This patience and flexibility is what makes our sessions work so beautifully for kids of every age and personality - from babies meeting Santa for the first time to toddlers who are (understandably) a little unsure.

Why Families Keep Coming Back

Over the past six years, I've watched so many of the same families return, their kids growing up right alongside these photos. There's something incredibly special about having a whole timeline of Santa photos - the terrified one-year-old who's all tears, the shy three-year-old peeking from a distance, the confident five-year-old giving Santa a big hug. Every single one of those photos matters, and they only happen because Santa takes the time to make each child feel safe and seen.

This Year Is Extra Special

Because this is our Santa's final year with us, these sessions carry a little extra meaning. If your family has been coming for years, this is the last chance to capture that magic with him. And if this is your first time joining us, you're getting to experience exactly why families keep coming back.

Session Details

📅 Dates: November 21 & 22 📸 A joyful, relaxed session designed around your child's comfort - not a rushed, forced smile ✨ The kind of photos you'll treasure for years, with a Santa who makes every child feel like the most special kid in the room.
