CAPTURING MEMORIES YOU WANT TO KEEP

At Lifesong Photography, we understand that signing up for Santa mini sessions with a professional photographer comes with the hope of capturing unforgettable memories. While we strive to create the perfect atmosphere, there's always the possibility that your session might take an unexpected turn. Interestingly, those candid moments of surprise or tears often become the most cherished images over time.

With years of experience in photography, I'm excited to share my top five tips for ensuring you get the best Santa pictures possible!

Tip #1

A vital tip for Santa mini sessions is for the adults to be dressed for the photos. Even if your child typically adores Santa, they might surprise you and feel a bit shy. This insight is particularly relevant for parents and grandparents with little ones. Often, the best chance to capture a beautiful moment is while you're holding your child. Plus, it's a fantastic chance to snag a family photo with Santa!

Tip #2

Tip number two is to ensure that you have your child try on their outfits before your session. Does it fit well? Is it comfortable for them? Do they feel excited to wear it? Forcing a child into clothing they don't enjoy can hinder those precious smiles you want to capture. Whether it's a festive holiday dress or adorable pajamas, the key is to make sure they are thrilled about wearing their chosen outfit.

Tip #3

Introduce your child to the joy of Santa! Encourage them to jot down their Christmas wishes or prepare a few fun questions for Santa. He loves sharing his magic and will have delightful answers!

Dive into festive stories and shows featuring Santa, or engage in a holiday craft together to get into the spirit.

Reassure your child that feeling a bit shy is completely normal. Let them know it won’t take long before they feel at ease and ready to enjoy their memorable time with Santa.

Tip #4

When signing up for your Santa mini session, be sure to provide comprehensive information on the form, particularly in the section dedicated to Santa. Sharing details about your child's favorite activities, shows, recent achievements, or sports they enjoy will help Santa create a meaningful connection. This personalization ensures that your child feels more at ease and excited during their session.

Tip #5

No need to worry! At Lifesong Photography, we specialize in Santa mini sessions, equipped with a variety of engaging props and creative solutions to make every moment memorable. Relax and enjoy as your child shares a personalized experience with Santa that they will cherish for years to come.
