Every family has that moment—the kids’ eyes light up, the room gets quiet, and you think, Yep, this is Christmas.
For years, families have come to my studio for Santa portraits. This year, I’m starting fresh with Once Upon a Christmas Eve—a new version of the session that makes the experience more comfortable, more personal, and (I think you’ll agree) more memorable.
A Better Setting for Santa
Santa has traded in his dated cabin backdrop for a space that feels more like his private living room. It’s warm, relaxed, and welcoming—like your kids are being invited in for a visit, not rushed through a line at the mall.
Easier Wall Art Options
I’ve added lower-priced wall art so families can still take home a portrait they love, even if Christmas budgets are tight.
A Redesigned, Personalized Storybook
The Once Upon a Christmas Eve Storybook has been updated with bigger pictures and the storyline they've had with Santa written out clearly for young readers. Each book is personalized with your children’s names and details, creating not just a keepsake but a snapshot of who they are in 2025—a memory you’ll want to look back on year after year.
Sessions will still take place at my Harriman studio. When it’s time to choose your products, you can meet with me there or choose a location convenient for you!
These aren’t quick snapshots. They’re about giving your kids a real visit with Santa and giving you heirloom portraits that feel like part of your holiday tradition.
