A Santa’s Workshop Photo Experience in Glendale | Step Into the Magic

A Private Visit with Santa

Imagine this…


Your little one’s hand is tucked into yours as you walk through the studio doors. You smell the chocolate chip cookies that each child gets when they finish their session. The air feels warm and cozy, filled with the scent of pine and the soft twinkle of holiday lights. You see Christmas decorations and hear the faint voice of Santa singing Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer. There are no crowds pushing past you, no endless line of restless kids, no loud mall noise. No menus of “photo packages for sale” that you have seen a million times before.  Just peace. Just magic. Just anticipation.

Then suddenly—there he is. Santa, sitting  in his magical toy workshop waiting just for your child.


A Private Visit with Santa

In our Glendale studio, Santa isn’t rushed. He doesn’t have to glance at a clock or move to the next family in line. Instead, he leans in close, listens as your child whispers their Christmas wishes, and invites them into his magical workshop. Together, they may wrap a present, share a story, or giggle through a silly face. Santa will show his Nice List Book so your kids can see that their name is on it. 


What does your child want for the holidays this year? This is their chance to tell Santa himself. He may even ask questions about colors and features, so be ready. 


It feels personal, because it is personal. This moment is theirs, not borrowed from dozens of other families passing through.

Santa Photos: Stress-Free, Cozy, and Customized

Parents love this experience because it’s easy. No traffic jams at the mall, no hour-long waits for a hurried snapshot. Instead, it’s a simple drive to a cozy Glendale studio where everything has already been taken care of—festive décor, carefully styled details, and a warm space designed to help your child relax and shine.

The result? Real smiles. Genuine joy. A memory your family will talk about for years.


Parents, you will love all the different photos we capture.. Santa takes special care to interact with your son or daughter. He will already know so many details about your child because you will fill out a questionnaire in advance so that Santa Magic is on turbo boost. From reading a book to wrapping presents to making silly faces together, the fun and laughter is genuine.

A Memory That Lasts Forever

Long after the toys are forgotten and the stockings are tucked away, your child will remember this: the day they had Santa’s full attention, the day Christmas magic felt real. And you’ll have portraits that don’t just show what your child looked like at this age—they capture how it felt to be there, in that moment, wrapped up in wonder.
