A NEW HOME FOR SANTA THIS YEAR
With Wild Oak Studio closing, we’re moving our Santa Minis to a beautiful new location:
The Solace House | Colleyville, Texas
It’s only a short drive from the Roanoke studio we’ve used in previous years, and I’m so excited about the beautiful holiday setting we’ll have this year. Scroll down to see examples of The Solace House Christmas setup.

Pappy Santa is coming back to see us!
For years, these have been some of my favorite sessions of the entire holiday season. Whether your little one runs straight into Pappy’s arms, needs a little convincing, has a very serious Christmas wish list to discuss — or wants absolutely NOTHING to do with the man in red — those are the moments I love capturing.
And yes... the crying Santa pictures absolutely count as Christmas memories. Sometimes they’re the ones you treasure most later!
These sessions are designed to give us time for more than one quick pose. Depending on your child, we may read with Santa, talk about Christmas wishes, share a treat, capture some snuggles, get those classic everyone-looking-at-the-camera portraits, and let the interaction unfold naturally.
NEED MORE TIME?
If you have several children, want more variety, know your little one may need extra time to warm up to Santa, or simply don't want to feel rushed, please reserve two back-to-back time slots.
Two consecutive reservations will give you a full 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS OUR ONLY SANTA DATE
I will only be offering Santa Minis on November 24 from 11 AM–2 PM, so once these appointments are filled, I will not be adding another Santa date.
Appointments are required and space is limited. Book Your Pappy Santa Experience Now
The Solace House Christmas Set-Up
The Solace House is a gorgeous natural-light studio with beautifully styled holiday spaces that will give us plenty of room for both those classic Santa portraits and the sweet, candid interactions that make these sessions so special.
Take a peek at the images below to see the studio and this year’s holiday setting.
