"I have a deep admiration for the spirit of Christmas and the cherished memories it brings. I wholeheartedly embrace the magic that Father Christmas symbolizes during this special time of year.
When it comes to capturing your family's Christmas experience, I am dedicated to providing a portrait session that is uniquely beautiful, un-rushed, relaxing, and filled with happiness. My goal is to craft an unforgettable experience for your children, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the true magic of Christmas.
I don't just take quick photos of Santa; I create a one-of-a-kind experience along with beautiful artwork that will serve as a timeless heirloom, safeguarding irreplaceable Christmas memories in a way that is genuinely priceless."
The Father
Christmas Experience
Every image is edited by hand with my whimsical storybook technique. The editing process for each photo takes about 45-60 minutes to craft. These fine art images are meant to be archived as tangible heirloom pieces and displayed in you home year after year.
The time and effort that goes into this experience, along with the timeless works of heart are worth every minute it takes to create. The awe and delight on the children's faces as they visit with Santa is priceless.
Crafting this enchanting experience involves weaving together countless intricate details and components. It's truly a passion project, I've been dreaming up for years and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to do it year after year.
More and more I find the magic of childhood goes by way too fast. Your children will only be this little once and the time while they still BELIEVE is fleeting. I would love to be part of their Christmas magic and leave your family with these precious memories. Parents are invited to join the festive fun and capture a few memorable moments.
Due to the lengthy process, I can only take a very limited amount of sessions each year. Sessions fill up very quickly so if you need more info please reach out to me as soon as possible.
Is more than just pictures - it's about creating priceless memories for your children and gorgeous heirloom artwork that you'll be thrilled to put above your fireplace year after year.
This Christmas season, I'm transforming my professional photography studio into a warm intimate setting with a vintage Santa.
There is nothing 'mini' about these sessions. The Vintage Father Christmas studio sessions goes beyond the traditional, offering a highly interactive experience.
Along with capturing these timeless images, your child/ren will have the joy of talking intimately with Santa, reading Santa's favorite Christmas book, finding their names on the nice list, and sharing their Christmas wishes and even receiving a gift from Santa in a delightful portrait session.
The Portrait Process
Get on the VIP list! Booking will open early (August 15th) for only those on the list. Booking will open for the general public on August 31st.
Once you book I will send over a questionnaire so Santa gets up to date on everything he needs to know about your children.
You'll come into the studio to choose your images in a movie like slideshow and then we'll choose how you would like to display your new images.
A few short weeks later you'll come into the studio to pick up your new artwork!
Come to your portrait session. The session is a 30-minute private interactive magical experience.

What an absolutely magical experience! It was such a beautifully stunning set. Nothing like this exists and it was so wonderful to watch my children light up with so much enthusiasm having a moment with Santa. They will never never forget this experience. The best part is I have priceless images that my husband and I can pull out every year and reminisce on this beautiful magical moment! - Thank you Rebecca you are worth every penny! ***** A million out of 5 stars!!

When the clothing complements the surroundings, it creates a harmonious composition that captures the viewer's attention on a deeper level. Wardrobe that blends seamlessly with the environment creates a sense of connection, enabling others to imagine themselves in the magical moment. This emotional connection can make the image more impactful.
By shopping 'the look' and carefully considering the clothing in relation to the scene, clients can enhance the final result, create a stronger visual impact, and effectively convey the aesthetic.
