Families who want photos in their own living room book a Santa Claus in Greater Philadelphia for a Santa photo session instead of standing in a public line.
Santa Photos at Home
Santa photos in a Philadelphia house mean a cleared corner, a lamp you already own, and a set window. A Santa photo session can be ten minutes of pictures after the list, or a longer photo shoot if that is what you booked. You take the pictures. We send the performer. Tell us if the kids are in pajamas or in their good clothes. A Santa for a photo shoot still needs the door, the time, and someone to bring the kids in. Pull the coffee table in a rowhome front room so there is a path.
Santa Chair Photos
Ask about a Santa chair when you call and we can help arrange one locally. The gold set in these pictures is the look for a seated line: gifts at the feet, a tree to one side, a clear path for each family. Santa chair photos work in a living room, a lobby, or a fellowship hall if the floor is even and the kids can step up without a scramble.
Light, Space, and Timing
Rowhome front rooms in Fishtown and Passyunk Square are tight. Condos in Center City need the front desk and the elevator in the notes. A family room in Ardmore or a basement in Levittown usually has more floor. Electric candles in the window are a nice rim light and they are already there in December. Gray afternoons are common. If the baby naps at two, put the visit after that.
How to Book the Session
Date, address, how long, and whether you want him seated. Mrs. Claus can sit with him when you want two people in the frame. Call with the date even if you are still moving furniture. Queen Village front rooms need the table pulled. A Fox Chase family room usually does not. Say which so the photos have a path. If cousins are coming from Wynnewood, use their arrival. A storm door that fogs up is a December picture, not a problem. Keep a lamp on his face and the overheads off if you can. A Packer Park living room and a Chestnut Hill den need different lamps. Name the room so the photos match what you have. Fishtown and Passyunk Square rooms are tight; pull the coffee table before he sits. Ardmore and Levittown family rooms usually have more floor. Electric candles already in the window help more than a new lamp. Pajamas or good clothes — say which so he knows how long the line will feel.
