Christmas Memories with Love Preserved Photography
Join us for our enchanting Christmas & Santa Sessions, designed to capture the magic of the holiday season. Create cherished memories at our rustic yet charming location in Bracken Village, San Antonio, Texas.
Session Options and Pricing
Sessions are available with or without Santa. Santa is booked for specific hours, and appointments during those times are priced at the Santa rate. Family Mini-Sessions (without Santa) are offered at a discounted rate on Santa dates, scheduled before or after Santa’s hours. Please check the listing to confirm Santa’s availability for your chosen slot.
SANTA RATE: 10-minute session package with Santa
• Pre-Season (before Nov. 1): $125
• Peak Season Weekday (Nov-Dec): $175
• Peak Season Weekend (Nov-Dec): $195
(Please note that we will test Santa on a bench in front of the headboard. We will not do a bedroom scene as there is not enough room. I will try it as a formal sofa and see how it works.)
Santa will engage with your child, asking about their Christmas wishes, while we capture these heartwarming moments. Props like books, lists, and faux desserts enhance the festive experience. For families with multiple children, we aim to capture both group and individual shots with Santa. You may choose to exclude Santa from some or all photos; please inform us upon arrival. Well-behaved, safe pets are welcome! Feel free to email us with any questions about photographing your children or pets.
FAMILY RATE: 10-minute session package (NO Santa)
• Pre-Season (before Nov. 1): $95
• Peak Season Weekday (Nov-Dec): $135
• Peak Season Weekend (Nov-Dec): $150
These sessions focus on family portraits in any combinations you desire. Please come prepared with a list of preferred family member groupings.
Session Information
Appointments are 10 minutes long, scheduled precisely 10 minutes apart, and available by appointment only. Each client receives a gallery of high-resolution digital images with a download and print release, typically posted within 2-3 days with email notification and login credentials. To ensure a smooth experience for all, please plan for outfits, traffic, and unforeseen events to arrive on time. You may arrive 10 minutes early for preparations at the studio. If you’re late, our assistant may proceed with the next family to maintain the schedule, but we’ll do our best to accommodate late arrivals if possible. You may use your phone to capture video memories discreetly, ensuring our camera captures the primary moments. Bookings are non-refundable, but with at least 7 days’ notice, we will do our best to reschedule. For changes requested with less than 7 days’ notice, a $50 rebooking fee applies (for sessions with Santa).
