No waiting. Friendly staff, super friendly Santa. Quick and simple way to keep the holiday magic for the little ones
Great experience we’ve been coming for 9 years and it’s always a great experience! Thank you so much for having such a great atmosphere your staff is always so kind. We will continue to come to Holiday Magic Studios for our traditional pictures with Santa.
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!
We’ve made it a tradition to come every year since my son was born. It’s always amazing! The staff is always so sweet. Santa is amazing! My son loves it!
This was our first year coming to Holiday Magic Studios and I’m so glad we did. We drove over an hour to get here because of the reviews, word of mouth recommendations and the experience was everything I hoped for. From the beginning I felt so welcomed and like a valued family. The staff is so attentive at keeping you informed of the process and the wait time if there is any. The interactive video for the kids is such a nice touch that we all enjoyed. Can’t say enough amazing things about the photography staff. They worked well with my children and I appreciated them calling them by their names so they were more attentive and ready for each pose and picture. Them including me was something I wasn’t expecting but was beyond grateful they did. It left me with an amazing picture and memory with my babies. I love the endless pictures I get to look through, choose and download. Having that selection and being able to look through each picture is an amazing experience on its own. Very grateful for the amazing staff and the experience. I would highly recommend this experience for your families.
We had a great experience this year as we do every year! Santa is great with the kids, even my older ones. Highly recommend!!

Answers to Your Baby Santa Photo Questions
What if my baby cries or won't cooperate?
This is completely normal and we're prepared for it! Our photographers are experienced with babies and we keep sessions short for this exact reason. We capture dozens of photos quickly, so even fussy babies leave with beautiful images. Plus, with our Holiday Magic and VIP/Corporate packages, you get our 100% No Tears Guarantee – if your child cries through the session, you get one free reshoot!
Can both parents be in the photos?
Absolutely! While the focus is on baby's first Christmas, we always take family photos too. Many parents want at least a few shots with all three of you together, and we make sure to capture those.
What should we dress our baby in?
Whatever makes you happy! Many parents bring a special Christmas outfit, but others keep baby in simple onesies to let the festive studio do the work. We recommend having a backup outfit in case of diaper incidents. Avoid anything too bulky that hides baby's face.
How do we receive the photos?
With our Holiday Magic and VIP/Corporate packages, all photos are delivered digitally instantly through our online gallery. You can download, share and print as many as you want. Our Mini Session package includes one printed photos with the option to upgrade to access the digital downloads.
Is it safe to take my baby to see Santa?
Our private appointment model is specifically designed with safety in mind. You're never in a crowded mall or waiting in line with strangers. It's just your family, Santa and our studio assistants in a controlled, clean studio environment for 5 minutes.
What if my baby is too young to sit up?
Not a problem at all! We work with babies of all ages, from newborns to toddlers. For younger babies who can't sit yet, we have safe props and setups, and parents can hold baby during photos. We'll guide you through everything.
