2023 Santa’s Magical Experience In Newport Beach Studio
This year marks the 5th anniversary of Santa’s special visit to our Newport Beach studio! What a blessing it has been to document timeless memories with many families that have been with us since the first event. Becoming a special holiday tradition, it is so heartwarming to watch the children grow over the years. It was wonderful photographing cherished moments with new faces as well. This year we pulled out all the stops to create an amazing event that captured the joy of the season.
One of our most anticipated events of the year, the studio is transformed into a winter wonderland, with twinkling lights, festive decor and a cozy spot where Santa takes center stage.
Our young visitors ranged in age from 6 months to 11 years old. Santa interacted with the kids on a personal level and knew them each by name. He patiently listened to what the little ones hoped for while they shared their wish list. Santa read from his favorite book and checked to make sure that they were on the Nice list. Before they left, he handed them a special keepsake, a silver bell engraved with the the word “Believe”. On the way out of the session, each child received a special gift bag, a balloon, and had fun taking photos with a balloon arch addition we added this year.
Some families chose our VIP experience, which included making sure Santa knew the child’s hobbies, sports, etc. The look of surprise and delight on their faces when he mentioned these special details perfectly captured the spirit of the season.
We all know how chaotic it can be waiting for photos with Santa in long lines at the mall. By the time it is your little one’s turn, patience has worn thin and you are lucky to get one good photo. Going beyond a simple snapshot, our personalized experience helps your child ease into their special visit. Some stare in wide-eyed wonder meeting Santa for the first time, while others would rather watch from a distance. Capturing this holiday magic is the reason our event sells out every year.
Santa’s jolly presence continues to light up the faces of children and adults alike year after year. More than just a session; it is a celebration of family, tradition and the joy of the season!
Merry Christmas - see you in 2024!
