WHAT IS A FINE ART SANTA SESSION?
Fine Art Santa studio sessions, when done properly, match the wonder of a child, and the magic of Christmas with iconic Santa moments. A session can provide magical Santa memories that families will recognize and love. These portraits and sessions are more than Santa Pics. They have purpose and meaning to families and children. They provide a performance featuring Santa and your staff that children will never forget.
MAGICAL SANTA DETAILS
When preparing for these spectacular Santa sessions, details must be adhered to for artwork to be successful. The final image looks real and as if the iconic Santa moments are actually happening. For this to happen, there are many specifics that must be in place well in advance. Once the session begins, all attention goes to the children, family, and the performance.
WORLD CLASS MAGICAL SANTA PHOTOGRAPHY
To forge world-class photography of any kind means one must adhere to the group of basic fundamentals. Anyone can point a camera at a little one sitting with Santa and take a picture. Does this mean it can be sold as fine art?
Keeping images to world-class standards takes thought and effort each and every year. This is no small task and should never overlook. It may take hours, days, or weeks to fully pull together a profound studio setup.
CREATE AS A YOUR INNER CHILD SEES SANTA AND THE WORLD
We have a clear understanding of what makes a child's image with Santa powerful. A child's dream on the night before Christmas provides so many answers to the stories you can tell in your photos. See the fine points as a girl or boy sees them. We tell the viewer your story in a way that brings their own inner child to life.
Close your eyes and picture Santa at the North Pole. Do not let the details be limited to adult thought. Really let go with you close your eyes and picture the minutes you would spend with Santa when you were young. You have walked that path in your past. Years ago, there was a little one, you, who dreamed of Santa and even flying reindeer.
DIRECT FROM YOUR INNER CHILD
I do like to see people access their inner child. It can be life-changing as an artist. Much of what we create as storytellers, as it relates to Santa and Christmas sessions, is directed by my inner child. The adult side of me takes these magic thoughts and imaginary stories and provides the logistical specifications and fundamentals. The availability of knowledge is important when it comes to the implementation of fundamentals.
THE INNER CHILD EFFECT
We let our inner child become the director of our session - performance. Our little boy and girl inside us connect with the children and Santa. This communication connection will bring your storytelling to a different level.
We write and design the most amazing children's storybook from the precious minute of our Santa sessions. This Christmas/Santa book is like no other in the world. It is a bespoke storybook. Each book is magical, fun, loving, and even full of life lessons from page to page.
The book really is much much more than what was just described. Each book is a collection of creations that can individually tell a stand-alone story, yet collectively tell the full story of the child's dream on the night before Christmas. Families love their book and our word-of-mouth referrals are heartfelt.
HOW DO WE CAPTURE SUCH POWERFUL PHOTOS IN A SHORT TIME
So how do we capture all of this in just one session? First, as previously said, the fundamentals are fully in place. We no longer have to think about them. Now it is time for the performance. This is the time our clients/families will experience our true magic.
The Santa experience we provide is unlike anything you can experience in the world today. Through specific communication in a theatrical play, we take the children and their families on a journey that opens the imagination of children and adults alike. This has taken years to perfect however it has been years well spent.
THE PEEK OF A CHILD'S WONDER
The ultimate goal is to get children to their peek of wonder. As the director of the play, it is our job to get the expressions to match the pre-planned iconic Santa moment that a child would envision. When children arrive, we make a big deal of it. We tell them magical stories that connect to what is about to transpire. These stories are important as they will gain a child's trust quickly. We speak to children using the voice of our inner child.
ONLY LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION
For us, each year is a new journey in creation. We enjoy and embrace this amazing time in photographic history. We get to design and develop artwork that was never thought possible or even dreamed of in previous years. Santa's workshop sessions and artistry featuring the folklore of Santa's escapades will forever touch the memories of each and every inner child. With the knowledge and technology available today, the creative visit to this wonderland of Santa is endless. It has become far more than Santa pics or milk and cookies.
ALL ABOUT THE END CREATION
Our visits with Santa are magical minute by minute but it is what we get out of our Santa visit artistically that counts. If you would have walked a mile in my shoes, you would know the importance of PROVIDING ITEMS WITH PURPOSE AND MEANING as opposed to just a Santa pic or photo.
