PICTURES WITH SANTA 2025
Jessica is an amazing photographer. We did her Santa sessions and it was absolutely magical. Her pictures were amazing, and she also facilitated the most magical experience for my kiddos to meet Santa. I've worked with lots of good photographers before, but there is something about Jessica that is just next level.

REVIEWS
We had Santa photo sessions and the photos turned out beautifully. She was able to capture a lot of different moments between my 2 year old and Santa from sitting there before Santa arrived, to her first reaction seeing him, to all the various interactions they had. It definitely told a story.

We did a Santa mini session with Jessica and we cannot recommend the experience enough! Even though the session was short, Jessica made your time feel so personalized and relaxing. She was able to capture pictures that we will cherish for years to come. We look forward to working with Jessica again!

REVIEWS
My children (ages five and eight) had a Santa mini-photo session with Jessica and Santa Bob this year (2022) after discovering her studio online. The experience and (most importantly) the pictures were amazing. I only wish I found her earlier. We will definitely be returning for a future photography session.

Thanks again for these - they look to be exactly what we were looking for. The kids will be thrilled!! You gave them a special session and they were over the moon seeing Santa. You have captured some expressions that I've never seen before.. He was hesitant but really loved the special experience.
So thank you!!

Meet Our 2025 Santa:
We're incredibly excited to welcome back Santa Bob from 2022, 2023 & 2024!
Santa Bob:
Meet Santa Bob! The idea of being Santa came to Bob after a child tentatively approached him in a local restaurant and asked if he was Santa Claus. The excitement in this child's flushed face filled him with so much happiness, he knew in that moment, becoming Santa Claus was going to be in his future. Having realized an innocent child with a pure heart could believe he could be Santa, was so inspiring.
Santa Bob has a long history of working with children and the general public. As an employee of Richmond's Department of Recreation and Parks, he began as an assistant to the City Drama Specialist, instructing city staff and playground participants in improvisational games among other interactive activities. This led to becoming an instructor in developmental games and activities for the physically handicapped, senior population, and ED /LD youth in the city.
In a nutshell, he has worked directly with the public interacting on a personal level and been trusted by families to provide services to their children and parents for over forty years. Becoming Santa is the perfect ending to his varied occupational history.

For the past four years, we have continued to sell out quickly, and we had requests for more Santa photo sessions for weeks until Christmas came and passed! We expect this year to be no different... and next year to be even crazier!

I'm so happy to have you here! :) Year-round, I offer full service Northern Virginia newborn photography. Our full service newborn photography experience is truly one-of-a-kind and includes professional hair & makeup, wardrobe, and custom artwork design for every client. As a mother of two young kiddos, I know firsthand how easy it is to get lost in the hustle and bustle of motherhood and never getting around to printing our beautiful photos.
Newborn photography will always have my heart, but I am also a huge fan of Santa and everything Christmas-related. Being able to offer these 2024 Santa pictures for my clients truly bring so much joy to my heart. Our Santa experience is now on its 5th year and we cannot wait to see all of our clients return again this year! Getting to watch your kids grow from year to year is one of our favorite parts. However, nothing can top that magical look in their eyes when Santa first enters the room. Our Santa event truly fills so many hearts with joy and it is our honor to present the 2025 Santa Experience to you! We can't wait to work with your family!
