5 Tips to Master Photos With Santa
Holiday Magic
Our Spoiled Rotten Photography owners love to bring a little extra magic to their partner schools at the end of the year! Whether Santa is able to visit a school or not, these are portrait sessions that parents look forward to each year! We understand all children don’t welcome seeing Santa with smiles, so hopefully these five tips will help your children feel more comfortable with their Santa experience.
1. Sneak Santa In
Have your child comfortably posed on a bench and then bring Santa in from behind. Make sure to photograph the progression of expressions when seeing Santa.
2. Engage child
Keep your attention and focus on the child and don’t talk about Santa.
3. Distract
Distract kids with books to look at with Santa or some other fun element Santa can show them.
4. Bring Items
Have children bring special letters they want to give Santa or allow them to hold comfort items.
5. Embrace it
If your child gets upset when visiting Santa, embrace that moment and buy the print because you will want to preserve that memory.
