Imagine giving your child a private 45-minute Santa experience—one that feels like stepping straight into a Storybook Christmas. Our Magical Santa Sessions are thoughtfully designed for families who want more than a quick visit or a crowded mall photo. There are no lines, no rushing, and no distractions—just your child visiting Santa as they share cookies, play games, and check the Nice List together.
Families travel from Mars, Cranberry Township, Butler County, Wexford, Valencia, Beaver, and the surrounding Pittsburgh area to experience Santa in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. To see what parents are saying about their experience, we invite you to read our heartfelt reviews and discover why families return year after year.
At Always Remember Photography, our Magical Santa Sessions are more than just pictures with Santa. From reading stories with Santa to sharing treats and playful adventures, your child experiences the warmth and wonder of Christmas in a way that feels truly magical.
We carefully capture these genuine, fleeting moments so they can be preserved as Fine Art portraits and Storybook Albums, allowing your family to relive the magic for years to come. Discover more about our Magical Santa Sessions and how your family can experience this unforgettable holiday tradition.
The magic continues at our holiday bakery, where every family leaves with freshly baked cookies, and our famous hot cocoa—creating memories that last long after the session ends. A few days later, parents return to relive the joy of the day, viewing all the captured moments and choosing from our Wall Art Collections (starting at $595) or Custom Storybook Albums. These heirloom-quality pieces preserve your child’s magical Santa experience for years to come, making the holiday season truly unforgettable.
✨ A New Story Begins in 2026
For our 2026 Magical Santa Sessions, a brand-new Santa Storybook is already taking shape. Next year’s adventure will invite children into Santa’s Elf Academy, where they’ll spend time with Santa learning what it takes to be one of his trusted elves—through laughter, imagination, and magical moments created just for them. While the story itself is still being lovingly written, the heart of the experience remains the same: wonder, belief, and a Christmas memory your child will carry forever.
Because each story and session is thoughtfully prepared months in advance—from designing Santa’s world to creating an intimate, unhurried experience—we welcome only 30 families each year. With November 2026 sessions already filling, families are invited to learn more about the 2026 Magical Santa Sessions and
reserve one of the remaining dates before they’re gone.
