Family Photos with Santa Claus :: North Shore MA Photographer

Every year I offer Santa Experience mini sessions where kiddos can come and spend 15 minutes hanging out with the big man in red himself. And these sessions are absolutely a highlight of my year–and a highlight for many children and families. But the truth of the matter is that not every child is going to be super happy during their session. Which is why I always let parents know, especially if their child is between 1-3 years old, to come to the session ready to hop into some photos. Because sometimes that is simply the best way to get an adorable photo of your little one with Santa. Of course, some families just love getting into the photos and come prepared regardless. But it’s always a good idea to be prepared just in case.
Below is a blend of families that came to the studio knowing that they would absolutely be getting into the photos. And some families who hopped into the photo to make it easier for their child/children (and the rest of us). While this might not seem like an ideal situation, I love how these photos come out. So in my book, it’s a win either way!


There are so many benefits to having a professional portrait photographer take your Santa Photos. And one of these benefits is definitely the editing.
