2026 is here, and while most families are packing away their Christmas decorations, we are just beginning the countdown to our 2026 Magical Santa Sessions at Always Remember Photography. Created by a mother-and-son team—Marsha of Always Remember Photography and Daniel of Daniel Paul Photography—this fine art Santa experience is thoughtfully designed to capture the wonder of childhood and the magic of the season in a timeless way. Families from Mars, Butler, Cranberry Township, and the greater Pittsburgh area return year after year to step into a storybook Christmas filled with twinkling lights, laughter, and meaningful moments. Each season, we are honored to welcome families who travel from near and far to make this experience part of their holiday tradition.
The magic of Christmas is already stirring—even now, as we look ahead to our 2026 Magical Santa Sessions. This year, I’m especially excited to share something completely new. We are introducing a brand-new theme we have never offered before: Santa’s Elf Academy.
Over the coming months, the storybook will be carefully written as we design and plan each activity children will experience alongside Santa—learning what it truly takes to become one of Santa’s elves. Every detail, from the rooms to the story itself, is being thoughtfully created to bring this magical world to life for families during the 2026 season.
Our Magical Santa Sessions are beginning to fill, and it warms my heart to see so many families choosing to make this experience part of their holiday traditions. If you’d like to quietly explore what the session is like and see if it feels right for your family, you can learn more here. And when the time feels right, we would be truly honored to welcome your family and help create a beautiful Christmas story you’ll treasure for years to come.
If you’ve been following my work and waiting for the perfect moment, now is your chance—only a few sessions remain for 2026, and you can reserve your spot here
