THE ULTIMATE SANTA EXPERIENCE: ONE YOU WILL CHERISH FOREVER
It's more than "just a photo session." It's a magical experience.
The smiles, the laughs, the happy tears from kids and parents, in a private setting. No overstimulating mall crowds and over-the-top decorations. Just your family and Santa.
Trust me when I say this will be a memorable experience for the entire family. Want Santa to compliment your daughter's good grades? He will! Want him to tell your kids that your Elf On The Shelf reported your boys need to share toys better? He will do that too! I will gather information about your children from you beforehand to pass along to Santa. Your children will be so amazed he knows their names and something special about them!
Family photos, individuals with Santa, we will capture it all for you and make sure you leave feeling the magical spirit of Christmas!

"Santa photos with Leslie has become one of our favorite holiday traditions that we look forward to every year! She goes above and beyond so that when our little one talks to Santa, it feels real and truly magical. Leslie puts so much heart into every session, and we couldn't imagine the holiday season without her."
the NOLAN family
"First of all, Leslie is an absolute GEM. She is so kind, especially with little ones. She has been able to capture the most beautiful moments of my daughter that no one else has been able to do. We've done Santa Minis and Mother's Day Minis and I can confidently say that all of the photos are my FAVORITE. She will forever be our family photographer!"

"There are not enough words that can describe how incredible and magical Leslie is. Her Santa Minis are enchanting and have become one of our family's treasured traditions. Our kids love getting special time with Santa (who is THE BEST) and the family portraits we have are so, so cherished. You will definitely not regret working with her, ever!"

Yes! A $50 nonrefundable retainer payment is due at the time of booking, along with a signed contract. Spots are not fully reserved until both the contract and payment have been received. Your remaining balance of $315 is due one week prior to your session. For your convenience, all payments are made electronically via HoneyBook.
Up to 6 family members are included in the standard investment of the session ($365). Each additional family member is $25. Families with more than 8 individuals will need to reserve two time slots if you wish to do a variety of group combinations and give each person one-on-one time with Santa.
Unfortunately, pets are not permitted in the studio for Santa Mini sessions.
You will receive your gallery within 14 days of your session! Due to the quick turnaround time of mini sessions, sneak peek photos will not be given, but you'll have them within 14 days! Your gallery will be delivered to you via email, and it will be password protected. You will have full rights to the photos, so you may print, post and distribute them however you would like.
Don't stress- this happens from time to time! I always begin the session by doing just family photos first, without Santa. That way, if your child reacts in fear, you still have great family photos! Also, Santa is wonderful and very calm with the children. Most children do great after a few minutes, and we have parents join the photos too for additional comfort. And yes- if your child cries, I will still deliver those photos to you to have for the memories!
As always, the setup will be slightly different each year! The sessions will be held in the same studio, with the white wall paneling in the back, and it will be the exact same Santa that is pictured on this page. However, there will be a new variation of trees, decor, chair/couch, etc.
There is no set number of images you will receive- you will get all of them! I guarantee a minimum of 20 images from your session, but most galleries end up being larger than that. The number of images you receive will depend on participation and cooperation of family members.
