Christmas is a time for magic, wonder, and creating memories that last a lifetime. This year, I’m bringing back The Real Santa Experience – a Christmas mini session that’s all about slowing down, soaking up the moment, and letting the joy of the season shine through.
Unlike the busy shopping centre Santa photos, there are no long lines, no rushing, and no pressure. Instead, you and your family are welcomed into a beautifully styled Christmas photography set, where the magic of Santa unfolds in a relaxed, stress-free way.
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Mrs. Claus, who gathers a little information to help Santa connect with your child personally. This thoughtful touch helps children feel at ease, so their excitement to meet Santa feels natural and genuine.
Each family enjoys a 15-minute private Santa session—a wonderful opportunity for your children to interact with Santa in a way that’s comfortable for them. There’s no pressure to sit on his knee or pose a certain way. Instead, Santa engages them by asking questions, reading a Christmas story, or sharing his magical Santa light and key. These little moments of wonder often become the highlights of the experience.
As the magic unfolds, I’ll be capturing natural and relaxed family photos—genuine smiles, laughter, and the joy of the season. These aren’t stiff, staged portraits; they’re beautiful memories your family will treasure. Families are welcome in every session, and yes, even your fur babies can join the fun!
The Christmas set is already styled and ready for your visit—all you need to do is come and see Santa.
We’re delighted to welcome back Santa from Santa 4 Hire, who was an absolute hit with Mackay children last year. His warmth, patience, and joyful spirit made every child’s experience unforgettable.
