Cranberry Santa Photos are the perfect blend of a brief encounter with Santa and professional photos to remember it by!  Skip the long lines at the mall, the fake-bearded Santas, and schedule a magical Pittsburgh Santa experience.  If you’re looking for Santa pictures in Pittsburgh, the drive to Cranberry is so worth it!  This experience allows for natural interactions with Santa and captures genuine moments.  Your photos will focus on your child and their time with Santa.  The set is simple and bright and your retouched files will be authentic to your child’s experience.  Everything about your child’s experience with Santa will help them believe. No added “magical” Photoshop effects to cause them to question their experience.

Santa is just as kind and caring as you’ve heard with a jolly laugh and a finger that lights up when he touches it to your child’s nose (to see if they’re on his good list.)  The sessions are five minutes long and conclude with milk and cookies with Santa.  Included with your session is a 5×7 fine art print, mounted and matted as an 8×10, the perfect keepsake to remember this experience!

Santa is coming to Pittsburgh and you won’t want to miss him!  You can schedule your pictures with Santa in Pittsburgh starting on October 1st.  Sessions are limited and won’t last long.  Just one day, November 29th!

How to Prepare Your Child to Meet Santa

Somewhere around the age of one, stranger danger sets in and your child may feel fearful of Santa.  We’ve all seen photos of kids teary-eyed or screaming on Santa’s lap.  And if your child is scared, we will not force them to sit on Santa’s lap.  We’ll capture a shot of the initial reaction and then move on to help your child feel comfortable. 

On the other side of the studio, we have a set with some wrapped packages, a small sled and a rocking horse, with a door to the left (the one that you entered through as you walked into the studio.)  We’ll allow your child time to recover and then photograph them on this set.  What they won’t know is that we’ve previously captured Santa peeping through that door and can use that image later to create a photo with your child and Santa without causing them any distress.

Stranger danger is a good thing and the best way to avoid this happening with Santa is to introduce your child to him beforehand by reading books and looking at photos. You can show your child the photos on this page and tell them that they’re going there to meet him and share all about the experience.

The little boy pictured above was 18 months old and his mama told him all about Santa before they came.  There was an adorable moment when he looked at Santa and said, “ho ho ho.”  And that’s what Cranberry Santa photos is all about, letting kids experience and enjoy getting to know Santa Claus.

After the session, his mom shared on Instagram, “Kate puts so much love into preserving your memories.”
