1. Talk to the children about what is going to happen. Assure them that Santa is very friendly and that they are going to love him.

2. Arrive 10-15 min. early. Santa's time is very valuable and if you are late, that will cut into your "Santa time". Allow time for traffic and parking. Santa will be in his workshop in the lower level of the building for full sessions.

3. There is no additional charge for multiple children- immediate family only, please.

4. Children dressed in jammies are particularly cute! This replicates Christmas morning and blends perfectly with the tone of the photographs. 

5. Before your session, we will ask you to text us some info about your children- names, ages, grades, favorite activities, toy that Santa brought last year that was a hit, etc. Please do this because Santa will mention some of these when he chats with the kids and this will help make your child's experience that much more memorable.

6. Please let us know if your children have any food allergies as there may be cookies and milk around.

7. During full sessions, we will take dozens of images; you will schedule a time within the week to come back and view your images, choose the poses that are your favorites and order any items you may want to own. This may be back at the studio, or if  Covid Positive, on Zoom. In person is recommended. There will be more information about this when you arrive for your session.

8. If you are unable to make your session, and we are unable to put another family in your slot, your registration fee minus the product credit ( if applicable) will be forfeited.  You are paying for Santa's time and your session time has been reserved just for you.

9. Aside from Christmas lists, and perhaps beloved stuffed animals/ blankets for little ones, do not bring any other props.

10. We will photograph what happens as it unfolds, but make no guarantees if a child is uncooperative. However, we do have a few tricks up our sleeves!

11. Parents are allowed to watch- and participate if you feel this will be a better experience for your children. If you think you will do that, come dressed- these make great holiday cards!

12. If you have any other questions- call Di at 847-475-6262
