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!

A newborn session with siblings isn't just about the baby—it's about the shift in your whole family.
When’s the last time you were in a photo, really in it—not behind the camera, not cropped out? 
Maybe it’s time.
You’re already doing it—loving, protecting, carrying. 
Even before they arrive.
Those sleepy stretches, curled-up toes, and soft sighs—they won't stay this small forever. 
This might be the time to hold onto it all.
.
Not much was said.
Didn’t have to be.

I walked in and found him snuggling and soothing his baby, as if they’d done this a hundred times before.

Sometimes the strength of fatherhood looks like this—
quiet arms, steady breath, and the soft way he leans in.

These are the moments I never rush.
Because I know years from now, they’ll both come back to it—
not through words, but through feeling.
