Santa minis are 10 minutes. Photos are taken regardless if your child is happy, smiling, scared, crying, screaming etc. there are *no refunds* if you are not happy with your child's behavior/photos. Keep in mind Santa and I try our best to make your child feel comfortable and happy, however sometimes things don't go as planned. I cannot force your child smile. If your child is not happy or is scared it is unfortunately completely out of my control. There are two options if this happens. 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 a few family photos without him.

If you think your child might be scared of Santa, please come photo ready in case you have to be in the photos! Sessions are prices for a single family - 2 parents and up to 5 kids. Larger family sessions are available at a premium and require a double time slot.

For Santa's protection, to make sure he stays healthy and is good to go for delivering presents on Christmas eve, we as that if you child has a temperature, runny nose, or a cough, that you reschedule your appointment. There will not be a fee for changing you time due to illness. 

In the event of Santa being sick or any other last minute emergency, you must be flexible to move dates if need be (this is very unlikely but possible of course). if your date is cancelled due to Santa being sick or any other reason we have to cancel you will be given the option to move your date or receive a refund if the new date does not work). 

Please think of these sessions as a ticketed event - if you buy a spot and cannot make it - it is your responsibility to sell your spot to a friend as there are no refunds or moving to different dates.

These are siblings/single family only sessions - I *will not* do shared times with other families. Each family must have their own time slot. If you would like cousin/friend shot etc, you must book back to back sessions, we can take a combined photo in between the two times. Each family must purchase a time slot. Sets can accommodate up to 7 people, so large groups are not possible.  

IMPORTANT INFO
• All sessions are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• You must pay your deposit/session fee in order to reserve a time slot.
• Please arrive on time, sessions are back to back. If you arrive late, time will not be extended or rescheduled.

What if my child is shy?
Many children are cautious around unfamiliar adults. Our Santa experience gives children time to warm up naturally without a line of people watching: Some of our most meaningful portraits come from shy children who interact with Santa at their own pace.

Does my child have to sit on Santa's lap?
No. Children can stand beside Santa, hold his hand, read a book together, or simply talk with him. We never force interaction for the sake of a photograph.

Are dogs allowed?
For Santa minis, unfortunately no; Santa's suit must be kept allergen and fur free. 

More than just a photo, this is a chance for your child to experience the magic of Christmas in a way that feels safe, comfortable, and special. Every detail is thoughtfully planned to create a relaxed, memorable experience—and beautiful photographs that let you relive that Christmas wonder for years to come.
