My goodness, what a way to kick off the season with such a great photographer!!! She's an absolute artist! And our awesome helper, Katie Montgomery is the very best! It's so wonderful and somewhat sad to watch these little ones grow. So many great kids! Thank you for another incredible year!!

Wow! That’s a wrap on Santa 2025!
Over 3,000 photos, a few tears, countless smiles, big hugs, and so many moments that will be cherished for a lifetime!

The next few weeks will absolutely be filled with late nights and lots of coffee as we work hard to deliver all fall, tree farm, and Santa galleries as quickly as possible — but it is 1000% worth it. I truly cannot thank our families enough for the love and support you give us every year, especially this year as we continue finding a new balance for everything. ❤️

Santa 2026 — We Need Your Input!

1️⃣ Thinking about moving the event up one weekend
We’re considering November 14/15, 2026.
Drop a 🎄 in the comments if that works for your family!

2️⃣ A new idea for families nearing “the transition”
We know many of our Santa kids are growing up after 6 years (even if we all wish time would slow down). We also know the day eventually comes when the “secret” of the magic is shared; we’re getting there with one of ours, too. 😢

So, for next year, we’re exploring a special one-on-one session with Santa designed to gently and creatively share the magic in a new way. This would help your child understand the secret while still carrying the wonder forward for years to come.

We’re thinking of two possible formats:
✨ Option A: A few photos included (very minimal so it doesn’t distract from the moment)
✨ Option B: No photos — just uninterrupted time with Santa

Both would have an additional cost since Santa still needs to be booked, but it would be offered as an optional add-on to your session.

If you love this idea, drop a 🎅 in the comments!

Well my weekend will not be going as planned as I'll be spending it in the hospital. Accident last night as I was wrapping up my work day. Plenty of cuts and scrapes, head through the windshield, 7 fractured ribs and fractured sternum. Could definitely use some prayers.
