Fine Art Nostalgic Santa Photography Portrait Sessions
What Happens At A Magical Santa Session
Experience the magic of Christmas through the eyes of your children at Dara’s Bling Photography’s photography studio with the best Santa Family Photography Session in South Florida. This magical time fades away quickly.
Let us capture this magical time in their life while they still believe.
Are you looking to create a legacy for your family to pass down for generations? No need to wait in the line at the mall for a picture with Santa in South Florida! Children will forget what Santa brought them as time passes, but they will never forget the once in a lifetime experience of having a playdate with him!
This authentic Magical Santa Experience in Fort Lauderdale for children and families is like nothing you have ever seen. It combines a fully interactive experience with Santa himself for 15 minutes and iconic Norman Rockwell style Christmas portraits. The magic of Christmas comes alive at two different sets: Santa’s Magical Kitchen and the Cozy Living Room. Entering his kitchen is like entering a child’s dream. The sounds of beloved Christmas music fill the air and the glow of twinkle lights illuminate Santa’s kitchen filled with treats, chef hats and aprons for the family and Santa himself, creating a truly magical memory that will last a lifetime. The Cozy family living room your children will read a Christmas book with Santa, have milk & cookies with Santa, find their name on the nice list, paint toys, call Mrs. Claus, find the North Pole on the magical globe and receive a toy from Santa!
🎅✨ Family Magical Santa Session Tips
👨👩👧👦 Before the Session
1. Prep the Kids Gently
Tell them a story about visiting Santa in his magical home — not just meeting him for a photo.
Focus on wonder and excitement, not pressure (“Santa wants to meet you!”).
Watch a cozy Christmas movie or read a story about Santa to set the mood.
2. Choose Outfits Ahead of Time
Coordinate, but don’t match exactly. Stick to a color palette (e.g., deep reds, forest green, cream, gold).
Think timeless over trendy: velvet dresses, suspenders, cozy knits, or classic pajamas.
Avoid loud logos or busy prints — they can distract from the magic.
3. Time It Right
Schedule the session when your kids are happiest — usually morning or post-nap.
Avoid back-to-back events so no one is tired, hungry, or overwhelmed.
4. Bring Essentials
Snacks & water (nothing messy — think puffs, pretzels, or apples)
A favorite toy or comfort item (just in case)
We love that Santa will introduce a new tradition they can cherish each year and we love even more that we are there to capture it forever and hope your child(ren) will pass it along to their own children someday.
