Y’all! We had the most incredible night earlier this week! We booked Santa photos with the super talented Chris Fritchie of Chris Fritchie Studios. We’ve all been through Santa pics before….long lines, bored kids which means arguing and tormenting their siblings, not necessarily the best way to get you into the holiday spirit. When you finally get to the front of the line you get a brief moment with the big guy with subpar pics and someones eyes are most likely closed. Not with Chris!!! This experience from beginning to end was top notch.
We arrived to their private studio in Mckinney, Texas and were instantly transported to a winter wonderland. We had Santa all to ourselves for an ENTIRE hour. The kids were absolutely mesmerized, this will be a memory that I know will last a lifetime. As their mom, I LOVED seeing the magic of Christmas through their eyes. They played a game of candlyland with Santa, read books, ate cookies and even had a snowball fight. I really cannot recommend this enough. Here are a few behind the scene videos…
Chris’ editing style is so unique. He takes these pictures and turns them into a work of art. Inspired by Norman Rockwell these portraits will definitely be memories you cherish for a lifetime. Just look at the finished product…..WOW
So I know what you’re thinking…how much is an entire hour with Santa going to cost me? Less than you may think! The session fee is only $125 with a minimum order of $200. TOTALLY WORTH IT. Even though this is a low entry price, he has products that fit any price range. Many clients choose albums or ultimate painted products that are high end pieces of art.
When we left last night my three year old said, ” Mommy, Santa is so brilliant and so warm and fluffy.” My heart just melted. This will truly be an experience they will not forget…plus you get pictures which I know is important to us mamas.
I followed up with Chris this morning to thank him for a wonderful evening and asked if I could share his info on our blog. He is graciously offered $50 off to our readers who book by Thanksgiving with code: 50off at check out. If you would like to book a session with Chris please click here. I would recommend booking quickly because spots fill up fast. To take a look a more of his work, click here.
