Santa’s Magic Portrait Experience
It’s that time of year that Santa and Mrs. Claus plans their visit!
Santa's Living Session
November 1 | November 8 | November 10
Santa's Workshop will be back in 2025!
The experience
Experience the joy and magic of Santa through your child’s eyes. Santa’s Magic Portrait Experience is a 30 minute, interactive portrait session with Santa. There is an option for 10 minutes for those too little to do the full experience.
Earlier this year, Santa remodeled his living room a little and we’ve added a whole new set! You’ll get to choose from visiting with Santa in his living room or helping him in his workshop. We’re so excited to see everyone this year and all the smiles and laughter.
Sit on a couch at the edge of Santa’s living room and watch your child meet Santa. Watch as they find their name on the Nice List, and maybe Dad’s on the Naughty List! Share milk and cookies, chat about what they want for Christmas, find the North Pole and so much more. They will finish with a reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Join Santa at his workbench as he build a toy or paints a Nutcracker. Talk about the North Pole, the Elves and reindeer. Share milk and cookies and just have a jolly ole’ time.
We offer a Santa experience that you and your child will love which is not your typical “picture with Santa”. Our studio is turned into Santa’s home where your child will be delighted and enjoy special moments with him.
This entire experience is designed to create a series of events to photograph for you to enjoy for years to come. Our goal is to capture the natural expressions and interactions of your child with Santa. A true, once in a lifetime experience that everyone will remember.
Pricing and Details
Every experience includes your child getting to hand deliver their letters to Santa (drop in his mailbox on the way in), visiting with Santa, their names on the nice list and a beautiful keepsake from Santa himself.

Meet Santa & Mrs. Claus
Santa George and Mrs. Claus is joining us this year and they consider Sumter, SC their home away from home (the North Pole). We are so excited to have Santa and Mrs. Claus in the studio with us this year and know you’ll love them too. We asked a few questions so we could get to know them better.
What is your favorite Christmas movie?
White Christmas
How long have you been embracing the roles of Santa and Mrs. Claus?
We've been Santa and Mrs Claus since 2011. We initially started as a treat for our grandchildren but before we could surprise them we found out about a family in need that was facing their last Christmas with their mom who was ill with cancer. Some friends and coworkers of Mrs Claus were planning to provide a special, memorable Christmas for the family so of course Santa with them on Christmas Eve to deliver all the surprises to the family!
Mrs. Claus, what is your favorite cookie to bake?
Santa’s favorite….Snickerdoodles!
What is your favorite Christmas decoration?
I Love all our Christmas decorations, from the Christmas trees throughout the house, to the ornaments representing our travels including some bought in Nurenburg, Germany in 1971. We also have ornaments made by the children when they were young that are still displayed every year!
What is it that you love about Christmas?
Nothing is so special as seeing the delight in children's eyes when they spot Santa and come running for a hug! We love seeing their eyes sparkle when they see the twinkling lights on the Christmas trees! Then even in the hardest of times, such as we've seen the last couple of year......the season never fails to bring out the best in people. Knowing we have the opportunity to be a part of that means the world to us.
