Santa Session 2011
This year I was FINALLY able to invite Santa to my studio - something I have been wanting to do for years! The set was beautiful, and there was hot cocoa and cookies for everyone:-) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get Santa until the last minute, so there was not a whole lot of information sent out about the session. I am so sorry if you missed out, but be assured that we will DEFINITELY be doing this again next year!
The idea of this session was to guarantee a beautiful image with Santa Claus. Taking the kids to the mall can be soo stressful! The long lines, grumpy kids, and tired Santa are hardly worth it sometimes - especially if you have a young child who is afraid of Santa. So the goal here was to set the kids up, then secretly bring in Santa. Not one of the kids knew Santa was there! We got some amazing images and everyone had a lot of fun:-)
This was one of my favorite images from the whole day. I think it is so perfectly innocent and sweet.
And right after we got this shot the little girl saw Santa and totally flipped out. She refused to have anything to do with him! Her brother, though, was fascinated with Santa, and we got some great images of their interaction together.
I love this family! They are a wild little bunch, but we all had a blast, and they loved getting to spend quality time with Santa. The oldest two have autism, and are as sweet and innocent as little children. Meeting Santa was a magical experience for all of them, and I am so glad I was able to share it with them.
All I want for Christmas is. . . This is my own son, and you can tell he had some very serious thinking to do when Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas, and whether he had been bad or good this year, lol.
Couldn't let Santa go without a couple pics with my favorite pup! Although, Orion didn't feel that way. He was so nervous he just sat there shaking in Santa's arms. We tried some with the cat as well, but he flat out refused, and just hissed and spit. Must have been the red suit, lol.
