The Art & Magic of Santa

A Masterpiece Portrait Experience


We have 2 sessions left in Bloomfield Hills, MI: November 4 - 5, 2023

Hosted at the Kingsley Hotel

I’d love for you to be one of them.

Join us and let us capture the wonder of your child at Christmas in a lasting art piece for your home.

Your child(ren) will meet Santa in a private setting - his workshop, and experience the wonder and magic only Santa can bring. We provide timeless nightgowns and pajamas along with a series of experiences they will be talking about for months!

HOW IT WORKS:

1) Once scheduled, Santa will mail your child(ren) a golden ticket invitation for milk & cookies.

2) Upon arrival at your scheduled day/time, your children will change into our PJ’s and nightgowns that are perfect for our timeless set. We have sizes from 3 months to age 16+!

3) During your session, portrait artist, Kathy Morley will be capturing your child(ren) in these treasured moments with Santa as they enjoy milk and cookies, learn about the reindeer, Santa’s flight path, and more.

4) Upon your selection appointment (scheduled about one week after your session), your chosen images will be turned into works of art as they are meticulously hand painted digitally with light and magic creating vintage masterpieces for your walls and storybooks to be treasured over many generations. Guaranteed delivery by December 20th AND a guarantee that you will be thrilled with our work!

Don’t miss this opportunity while they still believe!

The SANTA Experience of a Lifetime

Your child(ren) will start with cookies sent from the North Pole! Santa will check to make sure each child is on his nice list. They will paint toys with magic paint, sing, ask Santa any questions they want, check with the elves on the toy production, and more!

Finished Portraits & Storybooks

Once you choose your favorites, they will be turned into works of art - featuring YOUR kids. Your wall portrait will be the perfect piece to hang over your mantel for years to come. My clients tell me every year they put up their portrait….oh how it makes them SMILE!!

Our storybooks are a must have. They feature poetry on one side matching the experiences your child had from his/her visit with Santa. Each image will take your breath away! We can even include an image of the parents & grand parents with the children into the storybook…making it even more special!

What clients are saying!

  • “Portrait with Santa by Kathy Morley was one of the best Christmas experience my daughters have ever had! The Santa did great job, telling stories, playing along with his Nice list. On top of that, Kathy’s art work with the portrait and our storybook was beyond amazing!”

  • “Kathy captured the magic with her camera, and my son walked away with a memory he will never forget – his afternoon with Santa Claus. We look forward to reliving this experience every time we hang this portrait above our fireplace for the Holiday season.”

How much does it cost?

The Art & Magic of Santa is for those few that treasure Christmas, and love portraits of their children on their walls. Due to the art-work time involved, we can only take 10 families, and we know this experience is not in everyone’s budget!

These portraits are a cross between Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kinkaid. They are uniquely custom, featuring YOUR child(ren) with Santa and digitally hand painted with light and magic. Each portrait takes many hours to complete.

The $299 session fee includes one hour scheduled for each family wit up to 3 children (+$100 for each additional child), our antique filled set, Kathy Morley’s photography time, use of our timeless PJ’s and nightgowns, a gift for each child from Santa, and the experience of a lifetime!

Desk size portraits begin at $250/each. Clients typically purchase their favorite image to be art-worked for their wall ($750 - $4000), and a custom storybook of images set to poetry featuring their child(ren) ($200/each 2 page spread). We can also make the very best holiday cards you have ever mailed to family and friends!!

We provide digital files for social media sharing from all ordered images. Printable digital files are not included.

We believe in the beauty and artistry in tangible heirlooms. We believe in display. These portraits and storybooks are a permanent record of your precious family history.

YOUR ARTWORK WILL BE CREATED BY KATHY MORLEY

Kathy Morley is a well renowned portrait artist. Her work and understanding of art, blend both traditional fundamentals and today’s technologies. Kathy has extraordinary knowledge and skill in the fields of painting, light, people and photography. She has an amazing talent in bringing out the emotion and personality of a child into her artwork. Kathy’s studio is in Midland, MI where she has created wall portraits of families, children and dogs full time over the past 20+ years.

The MOST asked Questions

Best Age: 3 - 7 is truly the PERFECT age - while they still believe, but I have created entire storybooks of images from 9 month olds, and 16 year olds! You know your child. If they are 2, and really afraid of strangers, wait a year! Having said that, I have had many 2 year olds that were amazing and loved the experience. Santa is a pro, and we have worked together for many years. I have never not been able to create a gorgeous portrait from these sessions for my clients. In fact, I’m so confident in what I do…. I guarantee it!

Digital Files: Each image takes SO many hours to perfect…that I don’t do the artwork when it will just be on a monitor or phone! I hope this makes sense. The satisfaction from all of my work, is seeing the work in a tangible way…either as a portrait, or in a storybook. Most clients want the digital files for sharing on social media, and I do provide those - from every ordered image. As a bonus to clients who order both a storybook and a wall portrait, I give them printable digital files so they can archive them as well.
