Capture the magic of the holiday season with CMG Fotography!
​
This year, we’re so excited to announce that Santa has confirmed he'll be visiting us to double-check that his naughty/nice lists are up to date. We’re the only photography studio in the Totowa, New Jersey to have this special visitor, so don’t miss this unique opportunity to capture these special moments.
​
Check out the FAQ below for everything you need to know.
Arrival
When you arrive, you'll be met by Snowflake the Elf who will do some Christmas Eve safety checks with the children! Then you'll go into Santa's livingroom to meet the big man himself! These sessions are 15 minutes of wonder and awe where Santa will share some Christmas magic and secrets, children can chat to him about anything they want and tell him what they'd like for Christmas and he’ll check that each child is on the Nice List. We photograph the session as it happens and create beautiful images/storybooks for you to look back on in years to come.
What to bring or wear?
Your Christmas PJs, festive jumper or party gear are all great choices! The set is traditional Christmas colours so reds/greens/browns/golds and other warm winter colours work well. Red velvet dresses and red/black check shirts work particularly well! We will post outfit inspiration on our social channels a little nearer the time, so do keep an eye out!

Why Dec 1st
We need time after your session to beautifully post-process your images. - this all takes time as we want all of your images to be perfect for you. We also want to ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy your photographs in the lead up to the big day and to have time to make and order photo gifts for family and friends. And of course Santa gets very very busy this time of year! Digital images are available for immediate download once edited so you can start making Christmas gifts for family and friends. Our editing time is 2-3 weeks.
How long is the session?
This year your family will have 15 minutes with Santa! During this magical and private experience, you will be the only family in the studio during your session. There's plenty of time for inquisitive little ones’ questions and for shy children to warm up to Santa as well as for us to get those perfect portraits for you.
Can I bring somebody else?
The session is valid for siblings from one family only. If you wish to bring cousins/friends or anybody else, please book a session per family. This is particularly important if you wish to have an heirloom storybook made for your family but it also makes sure that Santa has enough time to do his activities with each child. If you book sessions back-to-back with each other we are happy to discuss photographing everybody together between the 2 sessions - this will depend on numbers and ages and must be arranged in advance.
Fine Print:
A non-refundable payment of $125 is required at the time of booking, while the remaining balance of $375 must be paid the day prior to the session. Ensure you have complete payment before the session. An invoice for an extra background, if desired, will be provided on the day of the session.
Each session lasts only 15 minutes, so please arrive at the door 5 minutes before your scheduled time. If you are late, you will miss valuable time from your session. Please understand that these sessions are scheduled back-to-back, with the next family waiting to enter. So, it is crucial to respect the time frame.
Be ready to enjoy this magical time and to capture new family memories!
We look forward to photographing you with Santa in 2023!!
SANTA
I hope you have been extra good this year. Mr. Claus and I are making our list and checking it twice and I hope you're on it! I can't wait to take the sleigh out for a jolly ol' ride and visit you at CMG Fotography! That is if you have been good all year. See you soon!
