A Magical Moment with Santa, Memories to Treasure Forever

Santa’s making a special stop at Firefly Haven this holiday season, and you’re invited! On Sunday, December 6th, our holiday greenhouse will be filled with Christmas cheer as we welcome families for a day of Santa Mini Sessions!

We’ve teamed up with the wonderful Jessica of Chasing Wildlight Photography to capture those sweet smiles, excited giggles, and magical moments with Santa. Each family will enjoy 10 minutes with our amazing Santa inside our beautifully decorated holiday greenhouse, with a minimum of 3 professionally edited photos to cherish long after the season is over.

And the magic doesn’t have to stop with your photos! We’re planning a few festive extras for your visit, including coffee and hot chocolate available for purchase, along with the possibility of some sweet treats and local vendors offering holiday goodies.

Sessions are $125 per family, with just 18 spots available to start, beginning at 11:00 AM. So grab your favorite Christmas outfits, bring your holiday wishes, and come make a little Christmas magic with us!
