Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Magical Santa Photos so unique and special?

  • Training and Education – This isn’t just another photo session with Santa. Our portrait sessions have been carefully created after years of professional training and education in Fine Art Santa Portrait Photography. This is part of the commitment to providing you with photos that meet the industry standards of quality and artistry.
  • Meticulously Designed – This is not just a quick snap of a button. Your child deserves so much more. Those special age ranges, when the Santa magic is so pure, last only a few short years. Every component of this project has been carefully studied to create timeless, precious memories of those sweet years that will last a lifetime.
  • Your Child Will Not Be Treated As A Number – We prioritize quality over quantity by offering a limited number of sessions to ensure each family receives the time and attention needed to create the most magical Santa photos. We want to know you and your children by name, and we’re committed to being there for you throughout the entire process, from inquiry to delivery of the final products.
  • The Final Result – While we offer digital packages to share on social media, we believe in the power of tangible art. Our archival-quality handcrafted product line will allow you to display your child’s beautiful portraits in an elegant and unique way, bringing smiles to your family every time you walk past it, for generations to come.
  • Professional Santa – We only work with professional, real-bearded Santas who understand the important of portraying this role with authenticity. We don’t know how we got so lucky but we seriously think our Santa is the real one.

What is the difference between Magical Santa Photos and pictures with Santa, like the ones at the mall?

Getting pictures done with Santa can mean many things, but quality and attention to detail are what makes all the difference. Many times, you just walk up to a setting like the mall, for example, where the photographer may not be familiar with any specific needs your family may have. At Magical Santa Photos, we focus on creating timeless, picture-perfect Santa photos, in a private environment where your child can feel comfortable and at ease. Before your session, you will have the opportunity to share anything about your child or family, so that we can do our best to make sure your child has the best time during their Santa session.

Every detail of our session is carefully crafted to make sure you will receive magical photos that capture your child’s excitement, as they realize they just met the REAL Santa Claus!

During the session, your child will have the opportunity to do more than just sit on Santa’s lap for a quick photo. They’ll get to interact with him in various ways. For instance, they will be able to look for their name on Santa’s Nice List and share cookies with him! These interactive exchanges will all be captured to create the most magical Santa portraits, to forever remember the joyful wonder in your child’s eyes.

After the session, you will have the option to bring your child’s portrait to life through our beautiful, handcrafted products, such as our custom Christmas Storybook, canvas wall art, and ornaments, creating memorable and meaningful holiday keepsakes.

When is the best time to book?

As soon as you are ready! There are only a limited number of appointments available in the Tampa Bay, Florida area, once they are all booked the photo session will be closed for the year. If you are thinking of booking and have questions, please contact us so that we can give you all the information you need and help you secure a spot!

I have more than one child, can they share a session?

While individual sessions allow for a fully personalized photography session, siblings are more than welcome to share a session.

Are payment plans available?

Yes, if you would like to sign up for a custom payment plan please just let us know and we’ll be happy to assist. The earlier you book, the smaller the payments can be!

Where do the sessions take place?

The Magical Santa Photos event is available in Palm Harbor, Florida (in the Tampa Bay area). The sessions take place in a private studio location by appointment only. There will only be one family at a time in the studio, to create a personal, private, and relaxed setting away from the public. For the safety of Santa and all the families participating and to ensure the event remains private and exclusive, the exact address will be shared only with officially booked families closer to the event date. For mapping and planning purposes, the Palm Harbor Santa photo event will take place in the 34683 zip code area. If you have any questions about the location of our event, please contact Elf Anna at anna@afpshoots.com.

Are family photos allowed?

Yes! Parents or grandparents may join in for a family Santa portrait. Just let Elf Anna know so she can plan accordingly.

When do I get to see my photos?

Our goal is to get your photos back to you ASAP. Days after the session you will receive an email with instructions on booking your Reveal and Ordering appointment. This is when you will get to see your photos, select your favorites, and submit your final order. These appointments will be available in person or virtually.

Are photos included in the package?

No photos are not included in the session, they are sold separately. Each family likes to enjoy photos differently, so everything is available to you a-la-carte. This way you get to build your own package and only buy what you love!
