OTHER TIPS FOR A GREAT SESSION:
-SCARED CHILDREN: If you think your child might be SCARED of Santa, PLEASE HAVE AN ADULT PREPARED TO GET INTO THE PHOTOS TO HOLD THEM IF NEEDED! Time is limited so we do not have time to wait for children to warm up to Santa.
-BABIES: Since this is an interactive photo session, Santa cannot hold babies during the entire session. Babies who are not yet sitting up will need an adult to sit in the session to hold them, OR if they are sitting, we have a highchair to seat them in next to Santa.
-Hungry= Cranky: Please make sure that no one is hungry (or hangry!) during their session, so PLEASE feed children ahead of time.
-Napping Children: If you have an afternoon session time, & your children are still at napping ages, please make sure they are napped before their session so they are not cranky.
-Attire: Dress festive & colorful, classic & timeless!!! Colors really pop for these sessions… red, green, blue, yellow, etc.
Please avoid wearing black, or shirts with large graphics & logos!
-IF PARENTS ARE PLANNING TO GET INTO A PHOTO for a family portrait, please let me know.
We ask for patience & consideration on the day of Santa Experience.
If there are any additional measures you need, please let us know. We want your children to have the most amazing and magical experience possible!
Thank you so much & we look forward to seeing you for your Santa Experience!
