Each session is $110 and includes 3 edited digital images (your choice) in both high-res (for printing) and low-res (for social media). You’ll receive a gallery of 6+ edited images to choose from.

Yes! You can upgrade and receive the full gallery with all good images from your session for just $30.

We’ve made all sessions 5 minutes this year to keep costs down. It sounds short, but we’re pros at keeping it quick and fun! If you’d like longer so the kids have more time to chat with Santa, or you are bringing pets book two sessions back-to-back.

If you book two sessions back-to-back, you’ll receive all good photos from both sessions fully edited for download. Expect 15+ photos.

Absolutely—dogs, horses, you name it (yes, really!). If you are bringing a pet you need to book two sessions back-to-back. After 6 years of photographing Santa trust me 5 minutes isn’t long enough when both children & animals are involved! Note if you choose to bring a pet and only book one session the photographer has the right to cancel the session.

Up to 6 people. If you’re rolling in with grandparents, cousins, the next-door neighbours, and the entire cricket team—book two sessions. Two sessions allows us enough time for all the combinations (eg. everyone with Santa, cousins with Santa, your kids with Santa, your sisters kids with Santa, kids + parents with Santa, kids + grandparents with Santa, grandparents on Santas knee etc.). Note if you choose to bring more than 6 people and only book one session the photographer has the right to cancel the session.

All sessions in 2025 are being held at Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie. Park at the end of Matthew Flinders Drive (where the camels depart from) and head down to the beach—you won’t miss us! Note: This beach is pet friendly including horses however if you choose to bring a pet you must book 2 sessions back to back.

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your session to check in with Mum at the desk. (Pro tip: don’t arrive too early—Mum runs a tight ship and no one jumps the queue except the occasional newborn that Mum's worried about getting sunburt and even then, she is touchy.) While you wait, hit up the selfie station with our props and get some practice poses in.

Sessions are weather dependent. If it pours, don’t stress—you’ll be offered up to two other times/dates. Unfortunately I need to be able to keep my cameras dry, oh and Santa prefers to be dry too.

Sorry, no refunds this year. With so many sessions, we need to keep things simple and avoid banking/admin overload.

You are guaranteed to get your gallery within 3 weeks from your session date. The reality is we try to get them out much sooner than this so you’ve got plenty of time to send them overseas, make Christmas cards, or whip up those “crap but thoughtful” presents for grandparents—think mugs, calendars, or a giant canvas no one asked for but has to hang in the lounge room forever.

There are two very different paths to tread here:
• The Classic Road – think white linen shirts, white dresses, red bows, beige shorts. White and lighter tones always look lovely with the set.
• The Matchy Road – Christmas is the one (and only) time to go matchy-matchy! Ugly sweaters, matching PJs & anything else that makes people stop and stare!

PRIZE: We’ll be awarding a prize for the best matchy-matchy outfit! To enter, you just need to agree to have your photos on social media for the public to judge. The winner gets a free Santa shoot next year.

Commit to one look these are only 5 min sessions. Or, book two sessions—that way we can capture all the style & chaos.

We try our best to —Mum keeps Santa on a strict schedule! Please don’t be late, as sessions move quickly and we don’t want you missing your spot.

Yes! We have two prizes up for grabs:
1. Best Matchy-Matchy Family Outfit
2. Most Outrageous Crazy Adult Photo with Santa
To be in the running, you just need to agree to have your photo posted on social media for the public to judge. Both winners will receive a free Santa shoot for the fam next year.
