From tears to wonder... keeping the tradition alive for over 13 years!

We all know the "I Cried for Santa" phase—it’s practically a rite of passage! But the real magic happens in that split second when the tears stop, the curiosity kicks in, and they realize that the big guy in the red suit is actually pretty cool.

We have been capturing these milestones for over a decade, and honestly? It never gets old. Whether they are wailing or waving, every reaction is a memory worth keeping. And when you finally get that moment of pure contentment (like the little cutie on the right!), it makes it all worth it.

Don’t let another year slip by without capturing the magic. Start (or continue!) your family tradition with us today!

Oh my goodness, THIS is what memories are made of! 😂❤️🎅

We absolutely live for the perfect "smiling at the camera" shot, but let’s be honest… it’s the moments in between that really tell your family’s story. When Mom and Dad steal a kiss under the mistletoe (or right behind Santa’s chair!), and the kids have the best reaction? Pure gold! 🙈

Check out Santa’s face! Even the Big Guy wasn't expecting that much romance in the workshop today! 😲✨

This family brought their A-game with the matching buffalo plaid (obsessed!) and the best sense of humor. We laughed so hard capturing this. It’s not just about the picture; it’s about freezing these ages, these personalities, and this joy right now. Even if the kids are thinking, "Moooom, Daaaaad, stop!" 😉

We still have a few openings left to come create some magic (and maybe some mischief) with our Santa! Whether you want sweet and sentimental or hilarious and real like this crew, we are here for it.

hartsocks.com/santa is where to book!

Question of the day: On a scale of "Silent Night" to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," how crazy is your holiday season looking right now? 🎄🤪 Let us know in the comments! 👇

Take a break from the chaos and come capture the magic! Our Santa portraits are super fun, stress-free, and the easiest way to check "Holiday Card" off your to-do list. (Reindeer onesies are optional, but highly encouraged! 🦌)

Good morning, friends! 😍 I’m re-sharing this so it has all the details!❤️

Our Santa Shoots went live yesterday morning to book! (And I love your Santa excitement! 🎅📸 Yay!🎉) We offered a $20 coupon to use at checkout bringing the shoots from $89.95 to $69.95!❤️ But, it looks like the promo code maxed out (I’m sorry!) so some of you who tried to book this morning weren’t able to use the code and reached out to us to let us know (thank you!💕).

SO! In about 30 minutes I will be able to go in and make the code valid again for the rest of the day! 👍 I GOT YOU! 🎉😍

The code for $20 off is: SIXSEVEN

And shoots are here to book! 🎅❤️🎄www.hartsocks.com/santa

I’ll reply in the comments as soon as the code is good to go again! 👍🎉📸

Hi friends! 😍 It’s officially Hartsock Santa Shoot Season! 🎅🎄 Yay! 🎉 It’s our 12th year of offering a fun, fast, friendly and festive Santa experience with high quality professional photos for so many of our fellow New Mexicans to enjoy! ❤️

I know, I totally owe you all an explanation about why I’ve been MIA for way too many months (I’ve missed you all so much!💕) but that is a much longer, more detailed post. (I’ve still been shooting and editing like crazy while raising our big and busy family! ❤️) But, right now I’m so Christmas excited and Holiday high that even though I’m embarrassed and ashamed for abandoning my beloved page for so long, I’m selfishly(🤣😭) coming back briefly to talk about my favorite time of the year and share the set with you! ❤️📸

So, I’m popping in quickly to excitedly
post a photo of our 2025 Santa Set. I am excited to see how much Santa’s red suit will pop with the colors in the background! And, it really is perfect for any type of outfits (Christmas jammies, Ugly Christmas sweaters or dressy Christmas outfits! (I think it’s my favorite one so far! It’s even prettier in person!)

I’m also here to announce that our annual infamous Santa Shoots (at our studio in Rio Rancho!) will go live to book on:
Monday morning (at 10am Mountain time!)! Full days have been known to sell out without hours each year! So, please set a Santa alarm or a reminder for magical Monday and as soon as that email hits your inbox, it’s on (!) to grab your special Santa Shoot! 🎄🎅❤️ To join our email list (if you haven’t already), please visit: www.hartsocks.com/email

I ❤️ and miss you all! 😘 I’m super excited to see so many new (and old!) faces for Santa and Christmas photos (we have a seperate holiday set without Santa as well) this year! 🎉👍😍🎄🎅

For those of you who I’ve been friends with forever know how much I’ve loved having babies! 🤣🎉😍 (It definitely spiraled out of control quickly!🤣 But I have no regrets! 👍💕) However, I think I love having big kids even more! 😍❤️

We took the 5 littlest out of 10 kiddos to GWL for a super quick vacation, post baseball and before school starts❤️. Can you tell who was the most excited to be there?! 🤣(Baby Rory, of course! 😍 She’s been eagerly waiting allll summer and was one of the happiest little girlies in all of Colorado!🎉💕 (But, everyone had so much fun!😍)

It was so crazy to travel without a ton diapers/wipes/bottles and all the baby necessities we’ve had to bring along with us out of town for so many years (..like for 26 years straight ! 🤣😳)! But super amazing! 👍💕🎉

(My biggest stress was leaving our Saint Bernard overnight!😭 She is the size of a miniature pony and the biggest sweetheart, ever (literally and figuratively!🤣) I shamelessly cried so hard saying goodbye to her! 😭🤷‍♀️ She was left in a shelter by her original owner, so she has the most severe separation anxiety and panics when I’m away from her, even for a short amount of time😭💔. So, for over an entire year (she became a part of our family in June of 2024!) I’ve literally completely refused to be away from her overnight!🤣🤷‍♀️😳 But we both survived our first separation! (Barely!🤣🤷‍♀️)! Her big brother Cooper, kindly offered to stay with her overnight and her grandma Teresa (my mom) lovingly babysat her during the day! 🎉🤣👍😍

I am genuinely loving this season of all of our kids being “big kids” now (but they will still always be my babies and never too old for a lots of parental support, compliments, encouragement, help, guidance, kindness, love, praise, compassion and hugs from us both!😍🎉💕❤️ (And they definitely all still get babied when needed! 🎉😍😘)

08/01/2025

“Cop Kyle” has officially retired!❤️ He said goodbye to the title of Commander Hartsock (yesterday)! And this is how he’s celebrating (today)! 🤣🎉😍

He has had such a successful career in law enforcement and has helped so many victims and families! ❤️ He has always been passionate about fairness, safety and justice. And he has had loved putting the worst of the worst bad guys in jail! 🎉💪 What a legend (throughout his career and on the dance floor (obviously🤣)! 💕

We are so proud of him! 😍 After 22 years in law enforcement, it’s truly bittersweet🎉. But, we plan to keep him pretty busy between all the “babies” (who aren’t even babies anymore!) and baseball/softball!🤣❤️
