The Santa Experience 2022 {San Antonio Santa Portraits}

 THE SANTA EXPERIENCE 2022

I would like to introduce you to the REAL Santa Claus! 

We are excited to bring two new sets for 2022.

The Night Before Christmas....November 6th

and

The Magic of Christmas...November 19th

BOOK YOUR SANTA EXPERIENCE SESSION HERE!

The Night before Christmas 

takes us to a rustic living room setting, complete with roaring fire and all of the traditions that we celebrate on Christmas Eve. Your children will love reading with Santa, taking a peek inside his magic bag and checking if they have made the "nice" list.

What to wear?

Pajamas, of course! I mean, it is Christmas Eve. 

Of course, your children can wear some traditional Christmas clothing if you wish, but we think that Christmas PJ's are perfect for this setting.

If you would like to see where we got the model's pajamas Click HERE.

The Magic of Christmas 

Ready for a FANCY Christmas setting with Santa? Then this is your session! Santa will chat with your children all about how he delivers all those presents in one night, how the reindeer fly and how he gets back up the chimney...

and it's all with a little bit of Christmas Magic!

What to wear?

It's time to get your children all GLAMMED up!! Santa will be wearing his very best suit too. Gold, Silver, Navy, Red....they will all look fabulous in this setting.

BOOKINGS OPEN SEPTEMBER 1ST!

Santa's Beach Vacation {San Antonio Santa Portraits}

 Santa Claus is coming to San Antonio a little early this year!

Due to Coronavirus, Santa didn't get his normal summer vacation at the Beach, so instead he is visiting our special little beach at Artistic Images. 

We have worked so hard making Santa's Surf Shack (only a tiny bit of that is showing here (because it just wasn't quite ready when we created these images). In addition we have added a palm tree and several other fun pieces that really make this set design one you and your kids will never forget!

So, keep your summer wear handy as this year that is the PERFECT attire for Santa's Beach Vacation Portraits. In fact, you can even go without shoes, so you will be able to feel the sand between your toes.

If you have never been to see us for Santa Portraits, you will soon find out that these aren't your average "Pictures with Santa". There are many imposters out there, but we have the REAL Santa Claus here and have been working with for 26 years!! Crazy, right? Between you and me....Elizabeth is his favorite photographer.

Below are some samples from our MockUp that we did in August. We had two incredible models to show you the possibilities...Thank you to Brodie and Josh. 

• Clothing: Aloha shirts, shorts, summer styles, rolled up pants, summer dresses, barefoot, flipflops
• Colors: Light Blue, White, Khaki, Cream, Red, Green
• Props: We will provide all that you see in the photos PLUS more! We will be sanitizing all props between sessions. Feel free to bring your own props if you prefer.

FAQ's
(Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Will I have to wait in line?NO WAY! All of our sessions are by appointment only. If there were an unforeseen circumstance where waiting may occur, you will do so in a comfortable environment where seating is available. While we RARELY
have this happen, there are the occasional times that

waiting 5 minutes may be necessary.

2. Can we have a change of clothes?

While we try to be as accommodating as possible, we do not recommend a clothing change during any of our Collector's Series Sessions. The sessions are only 20 minutes and we want the full time to be used photographing your child.

3. What if my child is afraid of Santa?

If your child is between the ages of 9 months-3 years, the chances are EXTREMELY high that Santa may be a bit "scary" to them. This is normal. We begin every session with images without Santa and introduce him as the session evolves.  There are many times that Santa is in the portrait and the child is unaware of that.  Rest assured, with or without the man in red, we will capture a beautiful image of your child or children in our amazing scene.

4. Can my family join in?

Some of our sets have the capability of having families join in the session and some do not. Typically, our sets are designed specifically for children and tend to look a bit "small" when adults join in. This year, our Reason for the Season may work with a small family of up to 5 people and our Santa's Reindeer session is able to handle families of up to 6 members.

However, our FALL FAMILY SESSIONS are beautiful, non-"Christmasy" sessions that showcase your family in beautiful environments.

Click HERE to find out more info.

5. What type of packages are available?
We have a la carte prints as well as packages that range in price with all kinds of amazing products. In order to get more information about what our packages include, please contact the studio where we will be happy to answer any and all questions. While our specialty is the finished printed product, we do also have a digital package, should you wish to purchase the digital negatives.

2013 Christmas Clothing Color Schemes {San Antonio Santa Portraits}

One of the biggest questions we get is:

What do we wear for our Christmas Portraits?

Well, here you go....

The sets and the colors that we feel would be BEST in the portraits.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Would other colors look good?
Sure, but not ALL colors will go as well with the theme of the portrait.
What about pattern?
We love pattern, but too much pattern will distract from your children's beautiful faces. Just keep it fairly simple with the busier sets and feel free to add pattern to the more simple sets.
Shoes or no shoes?
If it looks like or is an outdoor scene you will need shoes. Remember there are times it looks like SNOW and it would be a bit weird to be barefoot in the snow (can you say FROSTBITE?) However, if it is an indoor scene we LOVE the barefoot look!
Can we change clothes?
These Collector's Series sessions are only 20 minutes in length and we are not able to accommodate a change of clothes. However, if this is something you desire, feel free to purchase our "Extended Session" and you will have the chance to have a wardrobe change.
