Columbia, SC Santa Pictures: November 2 & 3 in Forest Acres
This holiday season, bring the magic of Christmas to life with uniquely crafted Santa photos in Columbia, SC! I designed these sessions specifically for families wanting a joyful, stress-free experience. Here are answers to frequently asked questions to help you prepare for a memorable day!
FAQs about Pictures with Santa
1. Who Can Join in the Santa Session?
Our Santa sessions are perfect for immediate families! Each session is designed to capture genuine moments with Santa and your little ones. Siblings can share one session, so they can enjoy the magic side-by-side. If you’re hoping for photos with extended family members or friends, encourage them to book a session just before our after yours and we can grab some shots of you together.
2. What can we expect from the experience?
This isn’t just any photo session; it’s an interactive experience designed to let kids feel comfortable and connected. Santa is especially skilled at engaging children, bringing a gentle approach that works wonders with even the most reserved kids. We want every family to leave with memories they’ll cherish—not only through photos but also from the joy of the day itself. You’ll even leave with a surprise treat from The Sweet Shop SC! 🤫
3. What are my Santa Picture Session choices?
There are two types of sessions to choose from: Classic Santa Sessions & Luxe Santa Sessions
Think of the Classic Santa Session as the traditional, quick, “sit & smile” photos with Santa. Your children will have about 5-8 minutes with Santa to tell him what they want for Christmas or to share something special with him. Our main goal will to be to snap a handful of great photos with everyone looking and (hopefully🤞) smiling!
Now think of the Luxe Santa Session as less of a photo shoot and more of an interactive experience. Your family will get up to 20 minutes with Santa! During this time, your kids can share cookies & milk with Santa, read The Night Before Christmas together, and even look for their names on his Naughty & Nice lists. He’ll also present them with a special keepsake gift. While this is happening, I’ll be behind the camera catching it all…the giggles, the nervousness, the gasps of excitement! My goal will be to capture this magical time with Santa with photos that tell a story of your family’s experience.
4. Which Santa Session is best for my family?
When choosing which session is right for you, think about what you’d really like to walk away with. Are you hoping for a quick picture to include on your Christmas card or are you looking for a whole experience for your child(ren)? There’s no right or wrong answer…just what’s right for your family!
I think the best part about both types of sessions is that the kids will get to meet Santa in a cozy, peaceful environment instead of the mall or the zoo with a long line of impatient people waiting.
BONUS: If your child has sensory issues or gets overwhelmed in loud or crowded spaces, these sessions are an especially great choice!
If you think your child may need more time to “warm up” to Santa, consider the Luxe Session that will give you more time & allow them to take it more slowly.
5. What should we wear?
Choosing outfits can be one of the most exciting parts of preparing! I recommend a timeless look—think creams, soft reds, or classic plaid for a cohesive and warm aesthetic. Matching holiday pajamas are always a favorite as well! I chose a simple, classic backdrop to match most any color scheme you choose.
6. Can We Order Holiday Cards from the Santa Session?
Absolutely! After your session, you’ll receive an online gallery where you can view and select your favorite images. From there, ordering holiday cards is just a few clicks away. We offer professionally printed & beautifully designed holiday cards you can customize and order directly from your gallery. It’s a quick, convenient way to check one item off your holiday to-do list and share your Santa pictures with loved ones!
7. How do I book a session?
