A STORY WITH SANTA & SANTA EXPRESS
A STORY WITH SANTA is unlike any Santa session your child has ever experienced! In fact, it is an EXPERIENCE! SANTA is coming to town on Saturday, November 16 & Sunday, November 17!!! Online booking now available!!
Unlike traditional Santa Photography Sessions, this is an interactive experience with the Jolly Old Elf himself... Santa! This year there are FIVE different session offerings: A Story with Santa and A Story with Santa Exclusive. These are the classic interactive Santa sessions you have come to love!
During these sessions, Santa interacts with the children as he walks through various story lines, including sharing the story of the very first Christmas and the true reason of why we celebrate. All the while, I capture the moments and authentic expressions of the children as they talk to and interact with Santa. These memories are then made available in beautiful presentations including a limited edition, leather bound album, hand painted wall art and much, much more!
You'll find two SANTA EXPRESS offerings for 2024. These sessions are designed for children under the age of 3 who aren't quite ready for the full Santa Experience or for those who only want a few photos with Santa. These sessions are 8 and 15 minutes in length and begin with a few images of your child on the Christmas set. Santa will then calmly enter the scene to finish out the session.
The final offering this year is a Children's Fine Art Holiday Portrait. Fine art portraits have always been a passion of mine. These sessions are designed to create a single fine art image with a very subtle holiday theme that will live as wall art in your home for many years to come.
Details regarding each session are available on the BOOKING page.

I am SO excited to add this limited edition, storybook album to my line of printed products. This 10 x 10 album is exclusive to Lisa Jones Photography and was created specifically for the A Story with Santa portrait sessions. The leather bound, lay flat album features extra thick pages and will become a family treasure. The stories are written in poetry form and paired with beautiful images that capture your child's experience with Santa. Each story was written exclusively for A Story with Santa, The First Christmas. The first story page will include your child/children's name/s. This is an heirloom quality album meant to be passed down for generations to come. A sample album will be available for viewing during the portrait session.
A Story with Santa - The First Christmas is more than a traditional Santa photo. It is an experience with Santa! Some of the story lines Santa may walk through with your child include:
- Story time - The First Christmas
- Prayers with Santa
- Checking the Nice List
- Peeking into Santa's Bag
- Wish List
- Traveling the Globe
- Santa's Workshop
- Reindeer Bells
- A Call from the North Pole
- Nap Time
- Cookies and Milk
- And more...
Your child is encouraged to write and bring a letter to Santa expressing their Christmas wishes! Parents may bring a small wrapped gift for their child/children to place in Santa's bag. These gifts will be pulled from the bag and presented towards the end of the session. Each child will receive a small memorabilia and a cookie to take home. Each child will also receive a personalized letter from Santa that will arrive in your mailbox!
Your experience includes a personal viewing and order session where you will be able to select printed products and works of art to display in your home and enjoy for years to come.
Hand Painted Portrait
Something new that I am introducing for my Santa sessions is a hand painted portrait.
An artist will digitally brush stroke every pixel of your portrait to create a stunning Painter Portrait. This process gives you the realism of a photograph but the beauty, style and feel of a free-hand painting. The painted portrait is then printed on canvas through a Fine Art Giclee process. The canvas is mounted and made ready for the artist to add contour brush strokes and oil enhancements directly to the canvas. The result is a work of art that rivals a hand painted oil portrait. The work of art is then framed and made ready to hang in your home.
