The Perfect Photo with Santa!

When you have a young baby, taking the perfect picture with Santa can be quite an ordeal! What is the perfect outfit? what is the perfect position? Should Santa hold your baby? Decisions, decisions, my advice is keep it simple. This is a picture that will just create a simple memory for you, your baby won’t ever remember it, except to look at the picture when he is older! if your baby is under 4months, I recommend you hold your baby. Yes sorry that means you need to be in the picture. But your child will look back on this picture and enjoy seeing you as much as he will enjoy seeing himself. As for the outfit, if your baby is all in red, chances are you won’t see much more of him than his face next to Santa, so choose an outfit that will make him stand out a little more.

When you have a little one find out the quietest time of day for Santa. This will probably be when they first open of maybe early afternoon when toddlers take naps and older children are still at school. So call ahead to find this out or make an appointment if you can. There’s nothing worse than your baby getting over tired because you have been waiting too long, and he is either screaming or sleeping.

But remember no matter how the picture turns out, it will be adorable and the memory will be captured. Happy Holidays!
