The Santa Experience

An Unforgettable Bay Area Santa Experience for Your Child

~More Than Just Photos with Santa (and Mrs. Claus!)~ 

As busy parents, we know how hard it is to find time to create those special holiday moments. Those quick, impersonal mall photos with Santa just don’t capture the magic we want for our kids. 

The Santa Experience is a unique and immersive holiday adventure designed to delight your child and capture the magic of the season.

What makes GSP’s Santa Experience unique??

🎄 Not Just Photos, but a Magical Journey: Unlike regular “photos with Santa,” The Santa Experience is a fully immersive adventure crafted exclusively for your child. From the moment you sign up, till they bid Santa farewell.. your child will even receive a special invitation from Santa himself!

🎄 Baking with Mrs. Claus is happening too!: All sessions include Baking with Mrs. Claus too this year! Imagine the excitement of having your little one bake magic cookies for Santa with the one that knows his favs so well! 

🎄 Every Child’s Dream Come True: Each family will be granted dedicated time with Santa, where kids will embark on a delightful journey of holiday wonder. Each session is designed to not feel rushed. Santa is trained to even get the introverts talking! have a kid under 2? Worry not, Santa is very well experienced with infants and toddlers and will adapt style accordingly.

🎄 Memorable Activities: Your children will be engaging in a series of heartwarming activities with Santa like milk and cookies, painting with magic dust, and sharing their heartfelt wishlists. Santa will even present your child with a small gift/certificate and promise to deliver their dream gifts on Christmas Eve!

~ The Details ~

The Santa Experience will be held on Nov 15th &16th. Sessions will be held in my studio in Belmont.

Every family will get 30 mins with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Siblings require one time slot only- not multiples.

The Santa Experience is perfect for children of all ages. Our Santa and Mrs. Claus are trained to handle young children and toddlers and prompts given during the experience make our approach different from any mall photoshoots. 

We will schedule an ordering appointment via Zoom to select your final images a week from the session date. Storybooks can be ordered on the day of the session. 

Due to the nature of this custom, seasonal experience, if you need to cancel, session fees will not be refunded but can be applied towards a different session and will be available to you as credit which will expire in 12 months from date of purchase.

“We worked with Golden Shutter for The Santa Experience and it was amazing! Kirtana is *so* detail oriented!! From the invitations to the gifts when they met Santa, it was a wonderful experience. Pictures are also so sweet and surprisingly candid. We will be back for sure!”

– Vanessa L.

  “This was the most magical experience, not only for my kids but also for me. The whole setup was amazing and my mind is blown looking at the work you’ve put into this. The invitations and the golden tickets really got the kids excited! This was our 3rd year with you and I have to say you outdo yourself every year, Kirtana! The Storybook is also an icing on the cake! Can’t wait for next year!”
