I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
If you are looking for photos with Santa in San Diego, then look no further because our Santa is the real deal! He makes a very special visit straight from the North Pole to our studio every year to meet with the little ones. This is a truly a magical holiday event like no other! Skip those long lines at the mall and cozy up with Santa in an intimate setting. Your child can share their wish list, ask Santa questions, and also read stories together.
As always, it was a magical day! The day was filled with excitement, wonder, lots of love, and of course lots of tears! We offer two session options for photos with Santa in San Diego; our Classic Santa experience which is approximately 5 minutes with Santa and our Magical Santa experience which allows more time for your children to interact with Santa and even includes a small gift from Santa!
True to my photography style, I photograph Santa with a very simple and neutral background to keep the main focus on your little ones and the magic with Santa. Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Santa Meetings.
We had a record breaking year selling out in less than 24 hours after it was announced to everyone! The Santa Meeting is an annual event. So if you missed out last year, be sure to sign up here to be notified when Santa sessions open to everyone this year!
Registration opens end of summer. As always, current clients get priority booking first. This is a very popular event and sells out quickly. You can find the most up to date information and details on our Santa experience here! Hope to capture the magic of your little ones with Santa!
These photographs become treasures passed through generations. Your children will one day hold these images close, seeing themselves through your loving eyes and discovering the quiet grace that surrounded their earliest days.

If this season feels tender, beautiful, or just a little fleeting, it may be His way of inviting you to pause and hold it close. I’d be honored to walk with you.
