2025 Santa Holiday Mini Sessions in Ventura County

This year we’re holding our Holiday Mini Sessions at Hagle Tree Farm in Somis, one of the most beautiful Christmas tree farms in Ventura County. The scent of fresh pine and the golden afternoon light make it the perfect backdrop for your family’s festive portraits. Whether you’re a returning client or joining us for the first time, we’re so excited to create beautiful memories with you!

Our jolly, real-bearded, authentic Santa brings warmth and joy to all he meets!

2025 Holiday Mini Session Dates and Details

Our Santa Holiday Mini Sessions will take place on Sunday, November 2 and Sunday, November 9, 2025. Each session is $300 and includes:

• 15 minutes of magical time with Santa – for those who’d like to include him

• Family portraits captured in a festive tree farm setting

• 5 high-resolution digital photos delivered via a private online gallery – Choose your favorite images from the comfort of home.

• Professional editing and retouching – Every photo is polished to perfection.

• Special treat from Santa – A sweet surprise for the little ones after their session!

Additional digital images, prints, and specialty products are also available à la carte so you can preserve your family’s memories in the format that works best for you.

Prefer a Session Without Santa?

If you’d prefer your holiday photos without Santa, no problem at all! We’re also offering limited Family Holiday Mini Sessions at the same location and on the same dates. These sessions focus on family portraits among the Christmas trees, giving you the same festive feel, timeless images, and professional editing without the Santa portion. It’s a wonderful option for families who simply want classic holiday portraits or updated family photos in a beautiful seasonal setting.

Why You’ll Love These Sessions

My Holiday Mini Sessions are a lot of fun, but keep in mind that they’re very fast-paced! The goal is to get a quick, joyful photo session with your family, and I promise we’ll capture beautiful images for you to choose from. Each session lasts about 15 minutes, which sounds really fast, but you’ll be happily surprised by how much we can achieve in that short time.

Kids light up when they meet Santa, parents love the energy and excitement, and everyone leaves with memories that will last long after the holidays. Plus, these portraits make perfect holiday cards, gifts, and keepsakes.

Limited Spots Available

Sessions at Hagle Tree Farm are limited so that each family can enjoy a personal and well-organized experience. Once the spots are filled, they won’t be available again until next year. Many of our clients return annually to make our Holiday Mini Sessions part of their holiday tradition, so we encourage early booking to secure your preferred date and time.
