2020 looks a lot different for so many reasons but we are going to keep the Santa tradition going!
This year, Stories with Santa will take place outdoors in Pasadena with Santa on an antique one-horse-open-sleigh. We’re only accepting 2 sessions per hour so each family can come and go without overlap. Santa will not touch or hold any children but he’ll read stories like always and interact in his usual jolly-old-style.
As in years past, each appointment will last 15 minutes. The sessions will be $350 including your choice of 3 digital images. Additional digital images are $49 each or $499 for the entire gallery. A $100 retainer is due to hold your appointment and the balance is due by the date of your session.
Because these will take place outdoors, I’ve planned for inclement weather. That means when you book your appointment, you already know exactly when you’ll be rescheduled. The 2nd date is only available for weather-related rescheduling. If it rains and we have to reschedule, you’ll keep the same appointment time on the new date. Please reserve both dates at the time of booking – alternative dates will not be available.
Rescheduling for illness: In the event that you or your child has a known exposure to illness or is having any symptoms including but not limited to fever, sore throat, cough, vomiting or diarrhea, you must reschedule. You will be offered a session with the sleigh but without Santa. The session must take place before 12/31/2020. Additional information about rescheduling is in the policies (you’ll view and sign them when you choose your appointment time.) Pease carefully read all of the information.
The one and only, Chesapeake Santa, will visit on these dates:
Nov 7 9am-5pm (Rain Date: Nov 22)
Nov 8 9am-12pm (Rain Date: Nov 28)
Nov 14 2pm-5pm (Rain Date: Nov 21)
BOOKING LINK AVAILABLE ON 10/1/2020
You can start preparing by planning your wardrobe – I have suggestions pinned here:
When you’re considering what to wear, plan for flat shoes (the ground is soft and heels will dig in) and weather appropriate layers. Kids who are too hot or too cold are rarely in a picture-ready mood. The early November average temperature is between 37-57º.
After choosing your time, enter your information and sign the policies then you’ll get an e-mail confirmation automatically and I’ll send over an invoice very soon.
The list of repeat clients grows each year, please reserve your appointment now. This event opens up to the public on October 1, 2020 and will sell out. In 2019, we had 60 sessions and this year we have less than 30.
Despite the challenges that this year has brought, I still feel so honored to get to capture some of the magic of your babies’ childhood. Thank you for keeping this tradition alive and sharing your special holiday memories with me every year ❤️
Hello Jill,
We would very much like to reserve a spot for your Stories with Santa Session. My daughter is in the same class as Camden Rupinski. We love the photos.
