Santa photos are a fantastic way to kick off the holidays and bring instant festive magic to your family. Meeting Santa in a cozy, celebratory atmosphere helps everyone get into the Christmas spirit early. This year, Santa and I will be at the Goldsby Airport to take your photos on November 8th!

These Santa photos will become your first cherished keepsakes of the season, and you’ll have plenty of time to use them for holiday cards, gifts, and decorations, allowing you to start celebrating before the December rush arrives.

The Ultimate Santa Experience

Skip the crazy mall crowds and over-the-top decorations. This isn’t just a “Santa photo session”; it’s a magical experience all about your family and Santa. You’ll see genuine smiles, laughter, and even happy tears from kids and parents alike in a super fun airplane-themed setting.

Santa photos are awesome for kids! They get a magical Santa experience without getting overwhelmed. The short time means little ones can enjoy the moment before they get tired or fussy. These mini sessions are perfect for letting kids relax, play, and really show off their personalities in photos.

To make it extra exciting for them, you can: 

• Hype it up beforehand – read Christmas stories about Santa or watch a festive holiday movie. 
• Bring a little surprise  – a favorite stuffed animal, a small wrapped “gift” for Santa, or even a letter they can hand to him. 
• Try to turn it into a tradition – end your Santa photos by going out to see Christmas lights or drink hot chocolate, making it a cherished part of your holiday memories!

Just a heads-up: not every child will be excited to see Santa during their mini session, and that’s perfectly normal! This reaction is most common among little ones aged 18 months to three years. However, every child is unique, so you never know how they will respond!

Dress for the Magic

As a mother myself, I understand the significance of these Santa photos and the effort parents put into planning their children’s outfits. The goal is to keep your outfits festive yet comfortable so the focus stays on those joyful smiles!

This year’s backdrop will be a festive airplane, so here are a few tips from your OKC photographer to help:

• Coordinate without matching exactly: Choose two or three holiday colors, such as deep red, forest green, and cream. Mix patterns and textures within this color palette.  
• Dress for comfort: Opt for soft fabrics and breathable layers so that little ones can move around easily.  
• Think about cozy textures: Incorporate chunky knits, velvet dresses, and plaid shirts to add warmth and dimension to your photos.  
• Add subtle holiday accessories: A hair bow or cute suspenders in seasonal colors can enhance the outfit without overpowering the scene.  
• Avoid bold logos and neon colors: These can be distracting and detract from the holiday atmosphere.  

Pro Tip: Always arrive dressed and ready, parents included! You might need to jump into a few photos to help your children feel more at ease standing next to a jolly bearded man.
