2024 Santa’s Magical Experience In Newport Beach Studio
It is amazing to me that we just finished our 6th annual Magical Santa experience in our Newport Beach studio! It has been such a blessing to capture these treasured 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 also exciting photographing cherished moments with new faces as well.
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. And as anyone who has met him at our previous events would agree, our Santa is THE BEST! He has a unique way of making the kids feel comfortable and special. He is the real SANTA after all!
Our young visitors ranged in age from 6 months to 9 years old. Santa knew them each by name and patiently listened to what the little ones hoped for while they shared their wish list. Santa read from his favorite book and helped them find their names on the Nice list. The children loved looking at his sweet musical snow globe. This year, Santa opened a special book that lit up the child’s face when they looked inside and saw themselves. Santa explained that the magic of Christmas is you! It was just so adorable to see the look of surprise on their faces. Before they left, he handed each child a special keepsake, a golden “Kindness Token”.
On the way out of the session, each child had their choice of treats from the North Pole candy display. They also had fun taking photos in front of the adorable nutcracker photo backdrop to show everyone they were on the “Nice List”.
Some families chose our VIP experience, which included holiday cards, a special gift box to open on Christmas eve and a keepsake video from their session.
We all know waiting in the long lines for Santa at the mall can be chaotic. By the time it is your little one’s turn, patience has worn thin and you are lucky to get one good photo. Our personalized experience goes beyond a simple snapshot by helping 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. One year your child may love Santa and the next, not so much. In the end, these photos are priceless! Capturing this holiday magic is the reason our event sells out every year. Take a look at some of our past events - 2023 and 2022.
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 2025!
