HO HO HO! Another magnificent holiday season is on its way! Santa and I are planning our second year of Limited-Edition Santa Experience sessions. We’ll have a new set, flexible pricing and high-end product offerings! This season, more than ever, you’re looking forward to “normal” traditions. Whether you joined us last year, or will be enjoying The Santa Experience for the first time this year, we’re excited to bring you our luxury version of the traditional Santa visit. Join us for a unique way to get Santa photos in Grand Rapids!
The Santa Experience- 2021
Make this holiday season even more magical

The Details
When your kids step inside the studio, they'll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of Christmas. But their eyes will probably only be on jolly Santa himself as he smiles and welcomes them in. They'll delight in telling Santa their wishlist, reading a book, sharing "milk and cookies," maybe even doing a little singing and dancing.
You’ll get private access to my exclusive studio setup where your children can have quality interactions with THE REAL Santa Claus (no fake beards here!). He’s the most popular and sought-after Santa in the Grand Rapids area (obviously…everyone wants the real deal).
WHERE: Erin Massie Photography Studio in Ada, MI
WHEN: Saturday, November 13th
Why so early?? Scheduling Santa photos early in the holiday season allows plenty of time for you to receive your images before needing to order and mail holiday cards. Plus, it's a great way to kick off the season before all the real chaos sets in.
What Parents Are Saying...
We thoroughly enjoyed our Santa session last year with Erin Massie Photography! It was a fun relaxed atmosphere that really captured the joy of Christmas! The pictures of my boys reading a book with Santa are some of my many favorites! Our little guy wasn’t having it but Erin got creative and managed to get pictures of our little Ollie with Santa. Thanks Erin! We will treasure these pictures with Santa!! – Alicia S.
Our family loved having a personalized, private experience with the REAL Santa from the comfort of Erin’s studio. Santa’s heartfelt discussion and dialog with the kids will be a cherished memory. Erin’s talent behind the camera is a real gift, as she captured the pure joy and magic of Santa in our children’s faces. – Amy V.

THE FINE PRINT
–
– As of now, Santa is fully vaccinated and will not be wearing a face shield this year. Masks and face shields will not be required this year for children or any fully vaccinated adults. For Santa’s health, any unvaccinated adults will need to wear a mask or watch from outside the studio. (These conditions could change prior to the session date depending on pandemic recommendations.)
– No cell phone/personal camera photos or video may be taken during the Santa Experience sessions.
– Refunds will not be given for uncooperative or unhappy children.
– The non-refundable session fee is due at booking. Remaining balance for your chosen Collection will be due by OCTOBER 15. You can choose to upgrade your collection before this date, however Collection materials (golden tickets, commemorative books, and Santa letters) will be purchased on October 15th and therefore are unable to add on after that date. A la carte items will still be available at any time.
– Please be respectful of Santa’s health and cancel your session if anyone in your family experiences COVID symptoms or tests positive for COVID or is quarantined as a close contact within 14 days of the session.
From Erin
I'm REALLY looking forward to these Santa Experience sessions. I've been planning for them for a year, and even though there's some uncertainty about what this holiday season will look like, I'm hopeful that we'll be able to create a safe, fun experience for your kids with beautiful images to remember it for generations. This is a fantastic opportunity for Santa Photos in Grand Rapids!
The Booking Process
I currently only have 9 time slots available, as I want to provide enough time for families to truly enjoy their session and allow for sanitizing between sessions. These will be booked first come, first served. And there is no guarantee I will be able to book additional sessions because Santa is very busy during the holidays. The booking link will take you to a page where you will choose your time slot, sign the session contract, choose your collection and pay the $195 non-refundable retainer fee. Once those are complete, your Santa Experience session will be booked.
(NOTE: The booking link is currently disabled. Contact Erin to find out about cancellation openings or to be added to the waitlist.)
