By: Always Remember Photography and Magical Santa Sessions
Every November our studio transforms into a place where Christmas magic feels real—where children whisper their hopes to Santa, where parents feel the warmth of tradition, and where memories are created to last a lifetime.
This year’s Magical Santa Sessions were nothing short of extraordinary.
We laughed, we cried happy tears, and we watched children’s faces light up in ways words can hardly capture.
But the most meaningful part?
The heartfelt messages families shared afterward.
Here are just a few of the kind words that touched our hearts this season.
The Magical Santa Experience by Always Remember Photography and Daniel Paul Photography created the most incredible Santa visit for my children while capturing their beautiful memories of the magic in artistic photography. From the invitation letters to each child for a personal invitation to detail planning with me on outfits all the way to which side to have their hair bows, no detail is left unnoticed. We are so thankful we have found this experience and will be back next year!
We just did our Santa session for the 3rd year in a row and it was amazing! It is a great way for our young kids to have a fun, comfortable Santa experience and get the most amazing holiday photos. The storybooks are a beautiful way to keep your photos with the added benefit of a personalized story - my kids love to read them and remember their time with Santa. We have gotten some truly amazing wall art for our own home and prints are great for gifting to grandparents and other family!

As a military family who has traveled across the US and many parts of Europe, we have always tried to experience fun holiday events for Christmas. Based on these observations, I can confidently say that this Christmas photo experience is nothing short of amazing. It starts with the incredible people who make the event special; they are genuinely caring and make the event feel deeply personal. Santa Claus and Jingles the Elf play their roles perfectly. The Christmas decorations throughout the home are placed with such care. The photos were fantastic and captured our memories in a way that was easy to share. I would highly recommend this experience, which is one of, if not the best, we have encountered.

Our Magical Santa Sessions are truly one of a kind — an experience created with intention, wonder, and heart. Located near Mars and Cranberry Township, families travel from across Western Pennsylvania and the tri-state area to be part of something more than a photo session. They come for the magic, the storytelling, and the tradition. From these moments, we create heirloom artwork and beautifully crafted storybook albums that preserve your child’s Santa story — not just for this Christmas, but for generations to come.
