questions

What is an Elf Pass?

An elf pass is a guaranteed spot at next year's Simply Santa event in 2025. 

No stressing over dates, setting ten reminders in your phone, or comforting sad kiddos if the event sells out while you're running errands. 

Elf passes are limited, and only available at the time of registration!

questions

What should we wear?

While our studio wardrobe isn't included in this event, we will send out a style guide as we get closer with ideas for how to dress in a way that compliments our simple, light and airy style.

questions

What if my child cries?

We're going to be real with you here; it's entirely possible that your child will cry or be afraid of Santa. This is especially true if they are older than 9 months and have never met Santa, or responded poorly with Santa in the past. We'll make the best of it, grab a few images without the big man, and go with the flow! We will not force a child to sit with Santa for the duration of your session if they are terrified. Due to the nature of these sessions, there are no refunds.

questions

What is the matted album?

The matted album is a beautiful piece of heirloom artwork. Your favorite six 4x6 images will be matted and bound, covered in luxurious forest green velvet with "CHRISTMAS 2024" debossed on the front cover. These make a wonderful annual addition to your coffee table, or the most sentimental gift for grandparents.

questions

What is block scheduling?

In order to maximize our time with Santa and keep the day moving smoothly, Classic sessions will utilize block scheduling. You will choose a 15 minute block, along with 1-2 other families. You will all arrive at the beginning of your block, and will be photographed in the order of your arrival. This is a great buffer in case someone hits traffic and is a few minutes behind. Your family will have their own sitting area for the few moments that you may wait.

questions

Is our Santa the real deal?

Straight off the sleigh! We scoured northeast and central Ohio in search of the very best, most authentic real-bearded Santa so that your families will have a truly memorable experience, along with beautiful photographic memories.
