OCTOBER 2026

A little more Christmas. A few more ways to capture it.

Well, here we are again. Somehow it is already mid October, and I have spent the last week untangling enough fairy lights to power a small city trying to gear up for the upcoming holiday fun planned. I have some exciting updates for the studio this season, including several ways to capture the magic.

JUST RELEASED • FAMILY HOLIDAY SESSIONS

Your family. Your Christmas style.

Sunday, November 22, 2026. Appointments between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

A family participates in a holiday photo session against a festive backdrop.

Enjoy a 15-minute family session with your choice of Christmas wrapping paper, elegant blue Christmas tree, or simple burgundy backdrops. Up to 5 immediate family members. Includes hand-edited images, mobile app, and personal print release.

$275 — 1 backdrop + 5 digital images $325 — 2 backdrops + 8 digital images $375 — All 3 backdrops + 12 digital images

Choose your package at booking, you will be invoiced afterwards...and choose your backdrops when you arrive. Full payment and a signed agreement are required to reserve your appointment.

JUST RELEASED • SANTA’S WORKSHOP

A little Christmas fun with Santa.

Sunday, November 22, 2026. Appointments between 2 and 6 p.m.

Children interacting with Santa in his toy workshop.

Step into Santa’s Workshop for 10 minutes of interactive Christmas fun! Your $295 session includes: • One festive set • 5 hand-edited digital images of your choice • A mobile gallery app • A personal print release I’ll capture genuine moments with Santa—no added magical effects or composites. Additional digital images and mounted 5×7 or 8×10 prints are available to purchase.

SANTA EXPERIENCE • OVER HALFWAY BOOKED

The Christmas list can wait. Your Santa appointment shouldn’t.

November 14 + 15, 2026. Kansas City’s River Market

A traditional holiday scene featuring Santa Gary.

From a previous Santa Experience. This year’s sets are a surprise.

Over half of this year’s Santa Experience appointments are already booked...and November 14 and 15 are the only dates for the full experience. If you’ve been meaning to choose your family’s time, this is your nudge to make it official. Three interactive sets. Checking Santa Gary’s list. Our snowball tradition. A new Christmas story to step into, with a special story-themed gift for each child. I’m keeping the sets a surprise, but not the booking update: appointments are filling, and booking now gives you more times to choose from.

Up to 20 minutes • One immediate family per appointment 8 edited digital images

$475 total • $237.50 reserves your appointment

Not sure which one to choose? If you want the 'Full Story', go for the Experience. If you want 10 minutes of interactive fun with Santa on one festive set → Santa’s Workshop. If you just want beautiful tailored style, choose the Family Holiday session. Can't wait to see you!
