I can’t believe that we just finished our fourth annual Santa event here in our Newport Beach studio. Where does the time go? What a blessing to start the holiday season with so many of my wonderful clients, many who have been coming since the first event. It was also exciting to see new faces join our holiday tradition!

For those that have met him at our previous events, you will have to agree that our Santa is THE BEST! He just has a way about him that helps the kids feel comfortable and special. Of course he does, he is the REAL Santa after all!

Santa read some of his favorite books with the kids and checked to be sure they were on the Nice list. Many shared their Christmas lists and special wishes and one child even brought reindeer food for the trip back to the North Pole! As their session came to an end, Santa presented each child with a shiny silver bell engraved with the word “Believe.”

This year, our youngest visitor was 6 weeks and the oldest was 10 years old. Some ran right up to Santa and sat on his lap, others sat beside him, and some watched from a distance. Each year is different. There are tears (sometimes, lots of tears) joy and laughter! One year your child may love Santa and the next, not so much. That’s totally normal! Years from now when your children are grown, you will look back at these images and wish you were back in time with your little ones. These photos are priceless!

This is one of our most anticipated events of the year and has been months in the making. I do all that I can to make this a magical experience for you and your loved ones. My heart is so full with all of your thoughtful words about how special this event is to your family. I am already looking forward to next year! For now, I pray your family has a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, laughter and much love!

Merry Christmas - see you in 2023!
