As some of you may know, in September, I ventured to Nashville to study with Larry Hersberger at Kissing Tree Studios. Here I learned the art of directing this magical, storytelling play. I not only learned how to instruct Santa, but how to keep the child and Santa interacting. In these moments is where we will be capturing the precious expressions on your child's face.

We not only learned about working with Santa and the children, but also about set design, set placement and various other elements that will pull together this story telling play.

We have learned the art of creating the special magic that makes your final images come alive.

We are working hard to prepare out set. You can see the progress below. We also already have a dress rehearsal with Santa and a special child prior to these sessions. We want everything to be just perfect before the child's special day.

To make each storybook unique, I'll be asking about special items you can bring. Perhaps a toy you played with as a child or even your parents. Start thinking about this, but we will discuss this more during our Design Consultation.

I look forward to creating these special heirloom portraits with you. Both you & your child to enjoy will leave filled with excitement and the magic of Christmas, along with new traditions for your family to enjoy years to come.
