What COVID-19 Precautions Are You Taking?

Holiday Magic Studios has taken every precaution to keep you and your family safe and sound this Christmas. We operate a constantly sanitized studio with hospital grade air scrubbers that remove any unwanted pollutants (including COVID-19). The studio is constantly sanitized and between each family session. All guests are screened before coming into the studio, and (as usual) all hands are sanitized. Additionally, all staff undergo daily health screening and are encouraged to wear face coverings, and maintain safe social distance from other staff and guests.

Do I Have To Wear A Mask In The Photos?

Not at Holiday Magic Studios! Let's see those pearly whites! The Califirnia "mask mandate" is not expected to affect this policy.

How Long Does It Take For My Photos To Be Uploaded To My Account?

Your images are immediately uploaded to your account on the website as they are taken. By the time you leave the studio you will be able to view, download or order prints. Most holiday photography studios make you wait hours, days and some even weeks to see your pictures. Many will even try to up-sell you to buy a CD of your images. At Holiday Magic Studios, every customer receives instant access of every image we take at no additional cost.

Absolutely! We have easy access ramps and plenty of room in the studio for your strollers, coats, hats, purses, etc.

What Happens If I Miss My Appointment?

Due to the high demand for Holiday Magic Studios Photo Sessions, we often find ourselves having sold out every 5-minute appointment window on a given day. When you book an appointment online, you are reserving that time specifically for you and your family to visit the studio. If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, we aren't able to provide that time to another family that wanted it. For this reason, we are not able to provide refunds for missed appointments. If you know that you will not be able to make it to your scheduled appointment, please contact our Customer Care Team at (559) 425-4015 or by sending us an email at support@holidaymagicstudios.com at least 48 hours prior to reschedule. We appreciate your understanding.

What Happens If I'm Late To My Appointment?

Due to the high demand for Holiday Magic Studios Photo Sessions, we often find ourselves sold out of every 5-minute appointment window on a given day. We ask all customers to arrive and check-in at the studio at least 5 minutes early for their scheduled appointment time. Remember to give yourself plenty of time to find parking during the peak of the holiday shopping season. Our team members will do their very best to accommodate your family if you are running late for your appointment (depending on availability). However, if you have not checked-in at the front of the studio within 3-minutes after your scheduled appointment time, we can not guarantee that you will be seen that day. If you are running late for an appointment, please contact our Customer Care Team at (559) 425-4015 or by sending us an email at support@holidaymagicstudios.com

How Long Is My Session?

Each session is 5-minutes long. If you'd like longer session, simply purchase multiple sessions back to back on the calendar.

Is It Possible To Book A 10 Minute Session?

Yes it is! If you'd like a longer session, simply book back-to-back sessions on the calendar!

Can I Change My Child's Outfit During the Session?

While we do not allow full outfit changes during the session, we do allow small items to be swapped out such as hats, glasses, scarves etc... Just remember that the session is 5-minutes long, and outfit changes will likely cut into this photo time!

What Happens If It Is Raining or Cold Outside?

We will always be open rain or shine. Our studio is always comfortable. Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment, wear a warm coat if it’s cold and bring and umbrella if it’s raining. You will enter the studio at your appointment time or very close to it. We work very hard to stay on schedule!

Can We Bring Our Own Props ( Santa Hats, etc...)?

Where Is the Best Place To Park at River Park?

We recommend parking in the parking garage to the north of the movie theater for the quickest access to the studio. Remember to give yourself plenty of time to find parking during peak shopping times!

What If I Cant Find Parking?

We suggest arriving at River Park at least 30 minutes early if your appointment is on a weekend to allow enough time to find a spot. If you are really in a tough spot, have one person drop the group off at the curb so you can check in while they finish parking.
