The Santa Claus Experience: A Magical Holiday Event

Imagine a festive wonderland where Santa, elves, and gourmet cookies await! This isn't just another photo shootβ€”it's an unforgettable experience that our past clients rave about.

We've designed this event with your family in mind. If you've dreamed of capturing heirloom-quality photos of your children with Santa, without the stress of crowded stores or rushed encounters, look no further.

Now in its fifth year, "The Santa Claus Experience" offers a private, relaxed setting for your little ones to meet the real Santa one-on-one. But that's not allβ€”we've added a second studio backdrop for stunning family holiday portraits. It's the perfect opportunity to create this year's Christmas card!

Don't miss out on this exclusive holiday experience, available only in November. Create memories that will last a lifetime in a magical, intimate setting tailored just for you.

Location & Sets for 2024:

We're thrilled to announce that this year's Santa Claus Experience will be held at the prestigious Carriage House in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. This stunning venue, nestled within a picturesque golf course, is renowned for hosting high-end weddings and will provide a large, bright, and timeless setting for these holiday mini-sessions.

This year, we're excited to unveil two brand-new, specially designed sets that will serve as the backdrop for your holiday memories:

  1. Santa's Cozy Corner (Set #1): This is where the magic happens! Your children will meet Santa in this warmly decorated space. It's designed for intimate conversations with the jolly old St. Nick and capturing those priceless reactions. From whispered wishes to joyful laughter, every moment will be preserved in timeless photographs.

  2. Festive Family Portrait Studio (Set #2): Our second set is a versatile backdrop perfect for family portraits without Santa. We've created a space that's simple yet whimsical, allowing your family's personality to shine through. Snowball fight, anyone?!

Both sets have been crafted with a timeless aesthetic, ensuring your photos will be cherished for years to come. The best part? Your session includes time at both sets, giving you a variety of memorable images to choose from. Get ready to create holiday magic that will last a lifetime!
