It’s that time of year again! Time for our Photos with Santa event at the Nolensville Toy Shop!  I truly look forward to this event all year.  We are adding an extra day this year and extending the time, due to popular demand.  These sessions sold out super fast last year, so contact me as soon as possible to ensure your appointment.

This years sessions will take place on:

Saturday, November 14 and Saturday, November 21

8:40-4:20

Nolensville Toy Shop 

$75 per session

(Includes session for 2 children, $5 per additional child)

Appointments are first come, first serve.

They will be booked in revolving blocks of 20 minutes, although each session will only last about ten minutes.  We are allowing about 3-4 minutes per child with Santa, and time for a group shot with all children together.  We just like to allow plenty of time to get checked in and for payment.

So sessions will be booked every ten minutes, as follows:

Session #1: 9:00-9:20

Session #2: 9:10-9:30

Session #3: 9:20-9:40

and so on…last session will begin at 4:20.

YOU WILL RECEIVE:

Your choice of 6 FULL RESOLUTION DIGITAL IMAGES, via digital download within 2-3 weeks.

You also have the option to purchase the rest of your images as well.

Please call, text or email me for appointments.

MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR MESSAGE:

Your name, email address, phone number, the ages of the children being photographed, and your preferred appointment time.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

1.  It is not unusual for children to cry or not want to sit with Santa.  We have a few tricks up our sleeves for this but please know that this is just part of it and we cannot offer refunds.  However, we can capture the classic screaming-child-in-Santas lap pics which in five years you will love just as much, I promise 😉  You may also want to come prepared to be an ‘extra’ in case you have to appear in the photo.

2.  Feel free to bring letters for Santa or favorite Christmas Books.  We will have “Twas the Night Before Christmas” on hand, but if you have a special book, these can be a great distraction and/or prop.

3.  What to wear:  It is very helpful to tack down baby and toddlers’ collars with a little needle and thread so they don’t flip up over their face.  Basically anything basic or Christmas-y.  Avoid shirts with writing (other than monograms) that will detract from the photo.  Our set will basically look like it did in last year’s photos, same chair, same Santa, etc 🙂

4.  It is imperative that everyone arrive on time for their scheduled appointment.  This keeps our entire day on schedule and everyone’s children happy.    If you arrive late, we may be asked to wait or rescheduled if there are any available appointments.
