Use this time for your kids to tell Santa what they want for Christmas, read a book, eat cookies and even see Mrs. Clause, all while getting professional photos taken to treasure forever? kids can come dressed in pajamas or holiday outfits!
These Studio Santa minis will take place on Nov. 26 & 27 inside my studio in Winlock, WA! Each 10-minute session will receive 8-10 professionally edited images for $150. Turnaround time is one week from your session date, so still plenty of time to order your Christmas cards! Spots are filling quickly; save yours before they run out!?
