QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions, please contact me before your session.

What is included in your fine art editing?

I hand edit every single photo - no filters, no one-click shortcuts! I use brush work, and custom adjustments to suit each photo.

Each image gets the time it deserves so I can bring it to life and create a little magic! ✨

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes: adjusting colours and skin tones, removing distractions, refining the details and more… all to craft a beautiful, fine-art keepsake for you!

What makes our Santa Photos so special?

It’s the experience your little ones take from it all... it's the time I spend to capture your photos in a fun environment..it's the time I spend on each photo editing... it's the magical professional Santa....it's so many things!✨

From the moment the children meet Santa, to sharing their wishes and giggling through the magic, high fives with Santa, a truly interactive experience - it’s a memory they’ll never forget! ❤️

When can I book my spot for 2026?

As spaces and days are limited, bookings open early. Full details will be available on my website and Facebook page by January.

If your plans or circumstances change and you can't make your booked Santa photos, that's no problem - full refund is available for up to 2 weeks before your Santa session.
