Sad you missed out on booking a Santa spot?
GREAT NEWS! I've asked Santa nicely and he's agreed to come for a few session on the morning of Friday 11 December.

If you previously booked Saturday and you want to swap your session to Friday morning, go to the MY ACCOUNT page to move your session there. Don't dilly dally though, because once the sessions are booked the opportunity will be over.

Well that was nuts! I opened our Santa Express minis and they all but sold out within 24 hours!

For those of you wanting to get in early on the studio minis as well, I've just opened two Christmas Caravan dates, and one Nutcracker date. Go get em!

TIME TO BOOK! Santa Express Mini Sessions Now Open.

WHEN: Saturday, 12 December
WHERE: Wairau Parish Hall on Riley Cres (across from the A&P Park by De Brood's Artisan Bakery)
PRICE: Sessions are $25 for one child, or $40 for siblings or the whole family. (Make sure you select and pay for the correct option when you book)

There will be no in person ordering like there is in the studio - so your one digital image will be chosen for you, but you can buy more images on the day as well.

We'll have the world's most AMAZING Santa there all day on our Christmas set. There will also be a second plain backdrop for a quick family or individual non-Christmas photo.

No doubt there will be more exciting things about the day to share as we lead up to it, in the meantime, GO TO THE BOOKING CALENDAR right now!

We're going to be opening bookings for SANTA SESSIONS very soon.

They'll be held on Saturday the 12th of December this year, so mark your calendars and WATCH THIS SPACE for the announcement!

Every year it's booked solid with a waiting list, and this year is going to be a doozy!

What do you guys think? Shall I ask Santa nicely to come see us again in December for Santa Mini Sessions?

I can't believe we're half way there already!

Who else has a big brother who thinks photobombing is their superpower? Always hilarious, apparently!

Beautiful Zara-Rose + Bunny tails on a simple white set. What more could you need for a gorgeous image of a stunning girl?

Because sometimes less is so much more.
