This was our 5th year taking our Christmas photos with Holiday Magic Studios and we will definitely be back for a 6th. They are always very courteous and professional and I love how they give you access to all the photos you take. It’s a very speedy, but overall fun experience every single time it only takes about 5 minutes tops!
Great experience with Santa! Our kids loved it, they get to interact with Santa and had so much fun. Definitely recommend! Pictures are so fun.
No waiting. Friendly staff, super friendly Santa. Quick and simple way to keep the holiday magic for the little ones
We have made getting our Christmas photos taken by Holiday Magic Studios a tradition! This year will be our 6th year and we are so grateful for the amazing experience our kids get with Santa! Santa’s helpers are always so welcoming and sweet to our kiddos. And our photos are always the best!
Staff was very friendly and great with the kids. Santa looked so authentic and the kids loved him. This is our second year coming and we will definitely be coming back again next year.
We been coming for the last 3 years always a good experience and Santa and his helpers are always so nice
Love this setup for Santa visits!! We've been coming here yearly since my son was a newborn such a pleasant experience and friendly staff. Idk how many there are but we've always enjoyed the Santa wearing the dark red traditional colored outfit. Sucks that there's peak pricing if you don't book early now but it's nice that they send the text messages at the beginning of the season.
Holiday Magic Studios has always done an amazing job for our family since first coming to River Park. They have been our first choice for those holiday photos. Today was especially special because it’s our youngest child’s first Christmas and first time meeting Santa. Our two year old was really excited to see Santa and ran towards him as soon as the door opened to his fantastic workshop. Our oldest got a huge kick out of the video introducing Santa’s head elf Sprinkles as our elf at home shares the same name. They squeezed us in as well and while quick and short they don’t need much time to capture the magic in the moment.
I have taken my kids to holiday magic studios for 2 years now. It such a magical experience. You have a exact time to see santa so no waiting with kids in a line. You go inside and it's a beautiful Santa workshop. Santa's helpers are so sweet with the kids and make sure to get such amazing pictures. Your images are ready to download after you leave the session. Once you choose your printed photo they are sent fast.

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.
