Hi!  I'm Kristi

The Process »

am so excited you're here!  Each year, I look forward to having my children meet with Santa, and every year, I am disappointed to be rushed through a conveyor belt, and sent home with a mediocre photo.  So, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and offer a personalized and stress-free Santa Experience for families in Delaware.

Santa Experience Sessions will include a 15 minute private experience and 3 high resolution digital images that you get to choose from a private online gallery.

The Santa Experience is intended for children and pets who are not afraid of Santa, or are comfortable sitting on their own for photos.  If a child is uncomfortable or unable to sit on their own, parents are invited to be included in the photos.

$100 is due at the time of booking to reserve your spot.  This retainer fee is non-refundable, so please ensure that the time selected works for you!

The Most Amazing Santa

Everything I do is custom--including Limited Edition Sessions.
Simply book with a retainer fee, select your included images, and add any additional holiday items you want!

THE NEXT STEP IS YOUR Santa SESSION

First, Book your session with a $100 retainer fee

This $100 retainer fee officially reserves your 15 minute Santa Experience session time on my calendar, and it covers my raw costs and the time going into the prep, the session itself, and the editing of your photographs. The remaining balance of $100 is due at the time of your session.

Next, CHOOSE YOUR Images or upgrade to get more!

After viewing your preview gallery, you can get exactly what you want.  Simply choose the three included photos that best suits what you are wanting, or add additional images, gifts and holiday cards for an additional fee.  Upgrade collections begin at $200, but are completely optional!

FINALLY, RECEIVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS & Add-on any additional gift items or cards if you wish!

Gift Products from Only $42
wall art from only $200
Albums from only $800

Now that you've chosen your collection, you can download your included digital images, and shop the gallery store for unique gifts and cards to add on.  It's that easy! And I'm here to answer any questions for you along the way.

Yep, It's That

Easy

Q: So, How does this work?

A: Step-By-Step to getting Gorgeous Photos

Your portrait session will be up to 15 minutes long, and we're going to have the best time ever!   And don't you worry - I'll be guiding you through everything.  These sessions are best for children and pets who can sit on their own comfortably, but parents are welcome to join children who are hesitant or too young to sit alone!

Your child(ren) will have 15 minutes of personalized time with Santa including playing with toys, reading a story, and chatting.

I simply cannot express how wonderful it was to work with Kristi. She was an absolute rockstar! We had a family photo session that included six adults, a 3 year old, and a 9 month old, and she handled it with ease-- getting both posed and candid shots, moving us from location to location, and keeping the attention of distracted child and adult alike to create perfectly composed images that would make any mantle SHINE.

I have worked with many photographers, both as a professional classical musician as well as a Maître D' in the wedding industry, and I can honestly say that Kristi was one of the best I've had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend her!

“Kristi did an absolutely amazing job taking pictures of my family. I have two little boys - 3 1/2 and almost 2 - who are full of energy and snotty noses. She amazed me with her patience and fun ideas for the boys....they had a blast taking pictures with her. Her pictures left me speechless and I know I will treasure these pictures for a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend Kristi!!”

“She was so professional, made us feel at ease, and tried to capture very natural, rather than ordinary, posed photos. I absolutely love how the photos turned out, and would most definitely recommend her to family and friends. I look forward to using her again for future special life events and milestones!”

Kristi was an amazing photographer! The whole experience with her was so easy, comfortable and fun! I worked with her for an anniversary shoot with my husband and this was only my second ever time getting professional photos taken. From the beginning to the end of the process Kristi was super responsive and made us feel completely at ease. The photos also came out beautiful!

Common FAQs

Q: How long have you been a photographer?

A: I first picked up a camera seriously when I was in college, and I fell in love with documenting moments and life's story as I experienced life away from home. But it wasn't until I had my first child that I took it on as a full-time career.  So, we're talking 5+ years now as a profession. Oof, now I feel old. Haha!

Q: SO, IT'S A $100 retainer FEE AND THEN I Pay the remainder one week before the session.  Is that Right?

A: Yup! Your retainer fee of $100 reserves your time on my calendar, and is non-refundable.  The remaining $100 is due at the time of your session. This cost includes your 15 minutes of exclusive time with Santa and 3 beautifully edited high resolution digital images.  Any optional add-ons or upgrades can be chosen after your preview gallery is delivered to you!  Easy!

Q: How do I add additional digital images or holiday cards and gifts?

A: Once your preview gallery is delivered (about 2 weeks after your session), you will have the option to upgrade to larger collections, or stick to the included one with 4 digital images.  These collections will begin at $200 and include extra digital images, holiday cards, and more.  If you want just the 4 digitals and to add on some unique gifts individually, you can do that as well!  Simply select what you wish to purchase in your gallery shop, add it to your cart, and check out.

Q: What kind of equipment do you use?

A: I personally use a Nikon D750 with a mixture of prime lenses, zoom lenses, and specialty art lenses. These are literally on me at all times throughout your session so I never have to worry about missing out on a precious moment.  Every moment matters - and this is where the 5+ years of experience really kicks in.

Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, Gift Products, etc?

A: Yes! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums.  And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery! 

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes, I do! Traditionally, Collection payments are due at the time of selection (after receiving your gallery). But, if you wanted to do a payment plan, you can select a Collection prior to your session, and split the payments in 1/3's or 1/4's--whatever works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen.  It's that easy.

Q: How do I book you for the Santa Experience session?

A: Love that question the most! To book me for your session, simply select a session time, and accept your quote, contract, and invoice.  Simple!  If you'd like to set up a pre-session payment plan, you can let me know at that time, and we can get you set up!
