First, Why Santa Photos Matter
Santa photos freeze a moment in time, allowing you to look back and reminisce about the holiday season and the joy it brought to your family and it documents growth and change. Watching your children, family and friends reaction to Santa year after year through these photos is a wonderful way to reflect and be grateful for moments in time.
Dress for the Occasion!
Consider coordinating your family’s outfits with a beach theme. Light and breezy clothing in soft colours often work well against the beach backdrop. And be mindful not to match the colour of the sand or backdrop too much!
Prepare Your Child
Talk to your child about the upcoming photo session, explaining that Santa will be there to spread holiday cheer. Show them photos online of Santa and children interacting with Santa. Explain what will happen and even practise if you wish!
