A full hour,
one family at a time.

- Ten to twenty minutes with Santa
- Santa only, no Mrs. Claus
- A shared set with a queue of families
- A backdrop, a lap, and a posed frame or two
- Photography limited to a few shots at the end
- Parents stand behind the camera
- No call before the session
An hour at Heart of Gold
- A full private hour per family
- Santa and Mrs. Claus both, for the entire hour
- One family at a time, never a shared set, never a queue
- A real workshop, real baking, and a real reading
- Interactive photography across the full hour
- Parents and siblings worked into the images
- A one-to-one consultation call with Ashley before the session
More than an eventGive them a Christmas
Give them a Christmas
they will always remember.
The toys may change and the cookies may disappear, but the memories of baking with Santa can last a lifetime. This is the hour your family will talk about long after the holidays are over.
