Santa Sessions

November 15, 2025

The Santa Experience is more than a photo—it’s a magical memory in the making! Skip the noisy mall and join us in our cozy Mebane studio for a private 25-minute session with Santa Michael Ellington. Your child can ask questions, help “make toys,” and enjoy storytime in a calm, festive setting designed for joy and connection.

Hot cocoa, crafts, and plenty of holiday cheer await! Perfect for families who want genuine smiles and treasured keepsakes.


Signature Portrait Sessions

Your portraits deserve more than a quick snapshot. A Signature Session gives us the time and space to capture your family’s personality, your senior’s milestone, or the bond you share with your pets. We’ll slow down, explore locations, and create images that feel genuine- art you’ll want to enjoy on your walls and in albums for years.

  • Session Length: About 60–90 minutes, studio or on-location
  • Session Fee: $250 to reserve your date
  • Artwork & Investment: Wall art and albums begin at $175, with most families investing between $800-1500.

Once your date is secured, we’ll schedule a planning appointment to chat through wardrobe, location, and how you’d love to display your portraits.

Appointment times are estimated based on sunset time. Actual start time may vary by 30-45 minutes.
