The Santa Experience- 2023

Make this holiday season even more magical

HO HO HO! Another magnificent holiday season is on its way! Santa and I are planning our third year of Limited-Edition Santa Experience sessions.  We’re looking forward to continuing this fun-filled tradition. Whether you joined us in previous years, 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 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 11th

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.

From Erin

I'm REALLY looking forward to these Santa Experience sessions. They take all year to plan. It's such a joy 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! Especially because this is the same Santa you'll often see in parades or other community events. The consistency helps keep the magic alive!
