A Magical Santa Experience | December 2024

A Magical Santa Experience | December 2024

Another incredible Santa event is in the books, and I can’t stop smiling thinking about all the joy and wonder that filled the studio! This event is always one of my favorites of the year, and it was such a gift to witness the excitement of each child as they experienced the magic of Santa in the most unexpected way.

Unlike the usual meet-and-greet, our Santa sessions are filled with surprise and wonder. Each child sat down for their portraits, completely unaware that Santa was sneaking up behind them. Their reactions—wide eyes, giggles, and a mix of shock and delight—made for the most heartwarming moments. Some kids immediately burst into laughter, while others took a second to process what was happening before their faces lit up with joy.

The set was cozy and festive, complete with twinkling lights, soft blankets, and classic Christmas touches. Families arrived dressed in beautiful holiday outfits and the sweetest matching pajamas, making each session feel even more special. And of course, Santa made sure to hand out his signature candy canes, a simple but sweet tradition that adds to the magic.

It’s always an honor to create these timeless memories for families. Watching parents tear up as they see their child’s joy, knowing they’ll cherish these moments forever—that’s why I do what I do.

To all the families who joined me this year, thank you for letting me be part of your holiday season. If you missed it, I hope to see you next year for another magical Santa surprise!

Wishing you a season filled with love, laughter, and holiday magic!

Wrinkled newborn feet—still carrying traces of heaven.

Everyone says “soak it all in” like you aren’t already trying. I just want you to know—it’s okay if it feels like a blur. That’s why I take these photos, so you don’t have to remember everything perfectly.

You will never regret taking the photos. But you might regret not having them. One day, that tiny baby will be asking to see what they looked like when they fit in your hands.

They won’t always wake up in the middle of the night needing you. They won’t always reach for you first when they fall. They won’t always find their greatest comfort in your arms. But right now? Right now, you are everything to them. And that’s something worth holding onto.`

Newborn photography isn’t just about getting "nice pictures." It’s about telling the story of these early days—the love, the connection, the quiet moments in between. What’s something about your newborn experience you never want to forget?
