The wonder of a child is very important to us. We want to elevate your child’s wonder prior to the session. Children come to their visit with Santa very excited.

PJ'S AND NIGHTGOWNS PROVIDED
WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN’S WARDROBE
We have hand chosen everything that goes into our set, and the clothing is just as important. The style, color and texture of the fabric all need to coordinate perfectly. We have beautiful vintage nightgowns for girls in white or red, and timeless Christmas pajamas for boys in green or red. We can outfit ages 3 months up to to a men’s small/medium. Bare feet are a must to see those precious little toes!

PRIVATE EXPERIENCE WITH SANTA
When your children step into this timeless Storybook Santa Experience, memories and art are made.
Kathy Morley has crafted the ultimate SANTA EXPERIENCE for you and your family, carefully working out every detail so that you fully experience the magic of Santa.
Your children will meet Santa Claus in a private setting – his workshop – for one-on-one time. Sit back and watch your children (or grandchildren) experience the magic, love, hope, and wonderment that Santa brings. They will have cookies and milk, Santa will make sure they are on his nice list, and he’ll check with the elves on toy production.
The children and Santa follow a storybook sequence of events during their time together, allowing Kathy to capture magical, timeless images of your kids with Santa. Kathy then takes the images and applies her artistry, digitally painting with light and adding magic, creating artistic portraits and storybooks from your experience.

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.”
