santa photos Brisbane
Santa visited our Brisbane Christmas photos last year, and he was a hit with the kids and parents!
So, he’s coming back again this year!
Santa is visiting on Sunday 17th November, one day only!
If you’re booking a different day, choose our Digital Santa option, who will appear in your photos digitally! We started Digital Santa in 2020, and news quickly spread! We were interviewed by radio team 97.3fm, ABC Brisbane and the Daily Mail, and were invited to record a few Christmas podcasts with Christmas Podding!
OUR DIGITAL SANTA QUICKLY WENT VIRAL AROUND THE WORLD!
Join our private Facebook page for priority access and sneak peeks!
Santa, we can’t wait to have you in our studio again this year!

We’ve photographed hundreds, maybe thousands of families for Christmas, and we love it!! It’s such a hit, seeing our beautiful families come back year after year, seeing our new Santa photos designs, and meeting Santa!
meet your photographer
Hi, I’m Claire, your Christmas photographer!
I’m the crazy excitement behind this shindig, and I just love everything Christmas! It’s my absolute fave time of the year, and I absolutely love building, creating, and styling our beautiful Christmas sets to share with my clients every year.
This year I’ve created my own sets, printed the backdrops, and will be styling with our Christmas furniture and finishes!
Christmas sessions started many years ago, with a few clients coming over for some very basic Christmas photos.
During Covid, I embarked on a “digital Santa”, and was found and promoted by ABC Brisbane, 97.3fm radio, The Daily Mail, and had a few interviews and podcasts.
Our Christmas sessions suddenly exploded to 70+ families, and we now have hundreds of families through our door every Christmas.
Christmas doesn’t stop after your session!
Come back for a drive-by in December, while we add a few thousands lights to our home every year. I have big plans for this year, but sshhhh, don’t tell my husband, haha! (He thinks we have enough already).

DATES
Q: What dates are the photos?
A: Saturday 16th, Sunday 17th (with Santa), Saturday 23rd November 2024.
Q: I can’t make those dates.
A: We’ll have weekday sessions available too – contact me ASAP for a weekday session.
SANTA
Q: I’ve booked a Santa session, what do I get?
A: You’ll get photo time on both sets, and photos with Santa on one set only, (probably the dark set) to save him walking around all day.
Q: Can I have Santa on both sets?
A: Sorry, no, there isn’t time. Only one set for Santa.
Q: What if my child doesn’t like Santa?
A: We roll with it! We won’t know how kids will react, and that’s half the fun, photographing what happens. I have plenty of screaming photos of my kids too! We don’t offer refunds, so please be flexible and understanding.
Q: What if we don’t want Santa in our Santa photos?
A: Santa may be able to step away for a few minutes, but we don’t have time to move him around the set all day.
SICKNESS
Q: What if we’re sick on the day?
A: That’s something we can’t help, however, if you’re sick on the day, we can’t rebook your session so you WILL NOT be refunded. There may be the option of rescheduling to a weekday. If you’re sick, let us know asap, and stay home.
Q: What if the photographer is sick on the day?
A: We’ve had this happen before! I completely lost my voice for a few weeks in 2022 due to vocal strain, however, due to amazing photographer friends, we had another photographer in quickly, and I was still present, but pretty quiet on the day, haha! (We will provide another photographer if needed).
EDITING CHANGES
Q: What if I don’t like my photos?
A: I’ll be doing my very best to capture beautiful photos of your family/kids in the limited time we have. I’m a professional photographer with 15+ years experience, and I will only hand over quality photographs. I’m sorry if you don’t like your photos, but I will have done my best to photograph what I see on the day.
Q: I want more editing done/body changes/remove pimples etc.
A: Due to the thousands of photos taken over Christmas, we cannot individually hand-edit each photo. If you have specific requests, let us know. Extra editing is charged at $35 per image.
CAN I BRING PETS
Q: Can I bring my dog/lizard/bird?
A: Sure/no/no. Restrained dogs on leash are allowed but please note this is my residential home. Bring bags to collect their poops. Dogs are only allowed on leash, please do not stand near other families/dogs/children. Do not bring animals of any other kind. Especially scaly ones. Rabbits are ok! (Please bring me rabbits) haha.
Do not bring any other animals please.
OTHER
Q: What if I’m late?
A: If you’re late, delayed, etc, you will either miss your time slot, or it will be very tight! We have back-to-back bookings all day so we can’t fit in late arrivals. Please plan to arrive EARLY.
Q: What if my child/family knocks over something and breaks it?
A: Mistakes happen, but very expensive equipment is in our studio, costing into the thousands! Please keep your children calm and close to you. We are fully insured, but intentional harming of our equipment or sets will result in removing you from the set and possible legal action.
Anymore questions I haven’t answered? Pop me an email and I’ll be in touch. x
