Santa Minisessions 2017

The Santa Minisessions at the Nolensville Toy Shop have been one of the most popular events we do each year.  2017 will actually be the 4th year we have done this event! This year’s sessions will take place on Nov 4, 11 and 18.  Each session is $95 and includes your choice of 5 FULL RESOLUTION DIGITAL IMAGES via download from an online gallery emailed to you within approximately 2 weeks.  You also have the option to order additional images and/or professional prints. Ordering is easy with our online system. Sessions are 20 minute blocks of time, but actual time in front of the camera is usually only around 10 minutes.

I know, a 10 minute session sounds short right?  I mean, it’s possibly longer than the time you would spend with the Santa at the mall, but shorter than an average mini-session.  So I wanted to share some examples of the images captured in a single 10-minute Santa session.  We are actually able to capture a variety of poses and shots in this short amount of time, including individual posed and candid photos as well as sibling photos and sometimes even a family photo.  This week, I wanted to share some actual galleries from year’s past so that you can get an idea of the what we can capture in a short amount of time.  First up, these 2 adorable girls:

Details:

Plan to be at the toy shop for around 20 minutes. The actual time in front of the camera is only around 10 minutes, but we allow the additional time for check-in, instructions and transitions. We allow a couple of minutes for each child to talk with Santa and get individual shots, and a few minutes for a few group shots with all children together.

YOU MUST ARRIVE ON TIME.  This keeps our entire day on schedule and everyone’s children happy. If you arrive late, you may be asked to wait until a break in the schedule or rescheduled if there are any available appointments.

Appointments are for immediate family only, and the time alloted only allows for a family with around 3-4 children.  If you have more children in your immediate family or you would like to include extended family (i.e., cousins, all the grandchildren, etc) please book back-to-back appointments to allow extra time for the additional children and multiple group shots.

Session fee is non-refundable, but it can be transferred to another person if you cannot make your appointment.  These appointments always sell out and there are typically lots of families on the waiting list, so failing to attend your appointment is unfair to our business and others.  In the event that something comes up and you will not be able to attend your appointment, contact me at 615-364-3807 and I will put you in touch with someone on the waiting list to see if they would like to purchase your appointment time from you.  There is no guarantee we can find a buyer for the session or that there will be a waiting list, but we will try. You are free to find a buyer for your session as well.

Remember, it is not unusual for children to cry or avoid Santa.  We have a few tricks up our sleeves for this, but we cannot offer refunds.  It’s just a moment in time and we will capture that classic screaming-baby-in-Santa’s-lap photo that you will truly come to treasure in the years to come.

let me tell your story...

Every morning the sun rises and sets the stage for another chapter in the story of our lives. These days overflow with adventures and fairy tales. Our heroic little boys battle villains while our princesses prepare yet another table for tea.

As the sun sets, the day’s minutes fade into memories and another page turns. If only we could stop the clock. Bottle up the days of dragons, castles, tea times and Pegasus and preserve them for the generations to come.
