The Art & Magic of Santa

A Fine Art Portrait Experience for 3 Days Only

The secret’s out!

St. Nick has 3 sessions left for 2022 in Bloomfield Hills.

I’d love for you to be one of them.

Don’t miss this magical moment while your kids still believe!

Bloomfield Hills, MI: November 4 - 6, 2022

Hosted at The Kingsley Hotel,

39475 Woodward Avenue, Bloomfield Hills, MI

This is SO much more than your typical “pictures with Santa” moment.

This is a Santa Storybook Experience by appointment. Your children will experience Santa in his workshop on Christmas Eve.  They will have cookies and milk, Santa will make sure they are on the nice list and check with the elves on toy production. Even you will believe in the magic as you watch your children or grand children mesmerized by Santa!

 During this time, Kathy Morley will photograph your children's interaction with Santa. 

Upon your selection, these images will be turned into works of art as they are digitally painted with light - and magic is added.

 

SESSIONS ARE LIMITED.

We have 3 left at this time!

Fill out the form below & Kathy Morley will give you a call to discuss all the details! OR schedule direct a few more sections below.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

The Art & Magic of Santa Portraits are perfect for anyone who LOVES CHRISTMAS! We have created finished portraits and storybooks of children as young as 9 months old (and newborns with siblings), to those in their 80’s +. As long as you believe in the magic of Santa, and love to decorate your home with portraits of those you love ….THIS IS FOR YOU!

Of course the perfect age for children, is while they still BELIEVE!

TAKE A LOOK AT EVERYTHING INCLUDED:

  • GOLDEN TICKET INVITATION

    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. Prior to the session, each child will receive a Golden Invitation in the mail to have milk and cookies with Santa. The invitation is mailed from the North Pole of course!

  • 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.

  • Qi

    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!

  • Magdalena

    Amazing experience and mesmerizing lifelong portrait !!!

  • Kelli

    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.”
