Santa is planning a visit to Birmingham, Alabama on Sunday, November 8, 2026. You don't want your children to miss this so sign up below!
This isn't a quick pose-and-go. Believe: A Santa Experience is a fully immersive, 10-minute portrait session designed to capture the kind of Christmas magic that lives in your heart forever. I'll capture the real reactions, the pure joy, the absolute wonder on your child's face in the moment they realize Santa is actually here.
What to expect:
Your family will arrive 20-30 minutes early to kick off the magic. Together, you'll mix and bag your very own batch of reindeer food to leave out on Christmas Eve because every good visit to Santa starts with taking care of the reindeer first. And there will be lots of holiday activities to keep your little elves busy before or after their session.
The Surprise:
Your portraits begin before Santa arrives. We'll capture your family beautifully and then, when you least expect it, Santa makes his entrance. That moment? That reaction? That is what we're here for. Pure, unscripted, unforgettable.
Time with Santa:
After he comes in, your family will have relaxed, unhurried time with Santa. You’ll be sharing your Christmas wishes, making memories and taking in every magical moment while I quietly capture it all.
Before you leave, Santa will have a special treat for your little ones. It’s a little something to carry the magic home.
