Santa's Workshop Limited Edition Children's Portraits 2013

How quickly does a year go by? We are just a little over a week away from starting our Santa's Workshop Limited Edition Children's Portrait and we are so excited about it!

We are overwhelmed by the support that you have all given our Santa's Workshop, both in the past and again this year - we are booked solid again this year! Over the course of 4 days, 101 lucky kids will get to meet Santa and have super special Christmas portraits. Most of those kids are like family to us here and have been coming for 4 years in a row, and we have a few new faces that will have our Santa's Workshop experience for the very first time this year. 

I love that this has become a family tradition for so many of you, I love seeing your kids and families grow over time, I love the fun we all have during the event and I adore creating unique and special Santa photos with your kids. This year we have a whole new backdrop and set...and we have a few surprises for you too! I am  BURSTING with excitement over what we are doing this year...but I will not tell a soul - that's what surprises are all about!

Already we have a pre-register list for 2014 - can you believe it!! Although there is actually a list for every year until 2029 because Mistie has booked in until her daughter turns 18! Seriously though, before Christmas last year, we had enough people on our pre-register list for this year to fill 2 and a half days...we were completely full by April of this year and had to implement a Stand By list as well. I am so grateful to you all and so pleased that you love our event so very much! So, just a little reminder to put your name down on our pre-register for 2014 - those spots are filling quickly!

Thanks again to all of you, Miss Mel and I can't wait to see you and your kids and we are sure that this year will be our biggest most exciting Santa's Workshop ever!!!

Cheers

Santa's Workshop in Penrith is a HUGE hit!

Once again Santa came to visit us for Christmas 2012 for our Santa's Workshop Portrait Sessions!

We were excited to see so many of our regular clients again  - some of them have been coming for 3 years now and it has become a family tradition! It is great to catch up with the parents and kids and see how much they have grown, particularly if we haven't seen them since the Christmas before. Some of our families have even added a new one over the past year with one mum who was due to deliver a few days before her session telling her doctor to hurry things up as she had Santa booked! Bless her! She made it with her new baby boy and we were so excited to meet him!

We also met some new kids that came for the first time and there were some magic moments there too, one little girl impressed everyone in the room with her bravery - she was so scared of Santa to start but she kept trying and eventually ended on reading a book on Santa's knee. It is moments like those that make it so worthwhile - I was so proud of her! Then we had one of our favourite families in with their little boy - these guys are always good fun and both Mum and Dad will do whatever it takes to get their little sweetheart going - well they did the BEST version of a wiggles song, complete with the dance, the little guy was on fire! He was dancing and rocking it with THE best expressions, even a high five for Santa...another one of those moments that make Santa's Workshop so very special! And it makes me realise just how lucky I am to have such wonderful clients and gorgeous kids coming in year after year.

Anyway, with the Christmas/New Year thing, I am a bit behind on blog posts...yes I know, I am always behind on blog posts...so I thought I had better get our 2012 Santa's Workshop slideshow loaded before we get to next Christmas - I know that Santa is waiting to see it!

Oh, and speaking of next Christmas (2013) we have a pre-register list and already we have 2 and a bit days booked - we only do 4 days! Looks like it will be bigger and better again in 2013 - oooh AND I almost forgot I have a new set in mind, maybe even different sets on different days - have purchased a new backdrop to get ready for it!

Cheers and enjoy the slideshow!

HO! HO! HO!

It’s that time of year!

Time to battle the crowds at the mall and get your children’s photos done with Santa…

If that statement isn’t quite filling you with the joy of Christmas, you should read on.

Take a look at the fantastic portraits from our 2011 Santa's Workshop -

Bye bye 2011 - hello 2012!

Well, here we are in 2012 and didn't last year just fly by so quickly? As is the custom, I have made some New Year Resolutions and one of them is to update my blog at least once a week - the poor thing has become so neglected!

There has been so much happening over the past few months, we have had the honour of photographing some beautiful, newborns and babies, gorgeous maternity portraits, fun filled kids sessions and of course our super popular Santa's Workshop.

This year our Santa's Workshop sessions ran over 4 days and we had 137 super energetic kids of all ages come to visit. Our oldest was 14 and our littlest was just one month old...it was incredibly good fun and fantastic to see some of our kids that come along every year (they just grow so much!!) as well as some new faces come along to enjoy Santa's Workshop. My singing skills are improving every year (LOL) and I just love it when mum's will sing and dance with me! Some of our mum's should be on the stage they are so good!

Santa was thrilled that all the kids he saw were on his good list - even after checking it twice - and was getting busy to deliver on all the things the kids asked for this Christmas...not sure how the little boy that wanted an aeroplane - "No, Santa, a REAL one!!!" got on though! Santa also received a collection of dummies that some of our brave kids gave him to give to the baby reindeer...hopefully the lolly filled gift bags filled the void for a little while.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish everyone a fantastic New Year with good health, happiness and abundance for 2012. And look at that, so far this year I have managed to write a blog post once a week! Here's our Santa's Workshop Portrait Session video for 2011 - enjoy!
