Re-Imagined for Parents, by Parents!
Think back to those childhood visits to Santa—navigating crowded mall parking lots, enduring the endless lines, having just a fleeting moment with Santa, and leaving with nothing more than a blurry Polaroid as a keepsake. It's a shared experience for many of us, and frankly, it was ripe for a makeover.
At Holiday Magic Studios, we've revolutionized the Santa photo experience from the ground up.

Our awesome yearly holiday tradition. We have been going here for the last 7 years and it never disappoints. Our girls love it and the pictures always come out great.
We have been having pictures with Santa for the past three years and it has been the best experience for my kids (4 yrs and 2 yrs).
Amazing session with Santa! Such a memorable experience for the little ones perfect for creating holiday magic for kids!
Every year since my daughter was born I have brought my daughter to have her photo taken with Santa at the Holiday Magic Studios in Riverpark. Every year it has been a magical experience that provides an amazing experience with Santa. Santa answers all her questions and really keeps the magic of Christmas alive and gives her an experience that she talks about months to even a year after; sharing with all her friends about meeting Santa & what happened during her visit. Santa's Elf helpers also make the experience wonderful helping to get her to laugh, smile and capturing wonderful photos every year, and I cannot wait to share my photos with friends and family. The way they also schedule appointments is great because the schedule allows each family to have quality time with Santa and allows time for his Elves to capture those amazing moments with Santa. I HIGHLY recommend Holiday Magic Studios for all your holiday photos, because you get a magical experience and best of all the best photos and deals you could ever ask for!
Cannot recommend Holiday Magic Studios enough! My daughter absolutely loves Santa and they are so good with kids of all ages!
