Imagine a Place Where Christmas Magic Exists
Can you imagine a place where the magic and wonder of Santa comes alive? The Ultimate Santa Experience is just that, and will be one of the brightest moments of your child’s holiday season! Past clients have shared with us that their child’s belief in the magic of Santa lasted even longer because of their magical moments with Santa in our studio. In our studio we specialize in a variety of high-end family and child holiday photo sessions, but our personalized Santa Claus Experience is a unique event that will be a favourite memory for years!
Our Santa Claus Experience is above and beyond the average pictures with Santa. Santa, “the real Santa Claus” is coming from the North Pole to visit with your family. Picture the excitement of your child catching their first glimpse of Santa, finding their name on his nice list, reading a story with Saint Nick himself, and sneaking a peek into his velvet sac of presents! Both parents and children will come away from this experience with magical Christmas memories to last a lifetime.
This highly interactive experience is best suited for children ages three and up. We welcome children on their own, or family groups of various ages.
A visit to the Santa Claus Experience with John Wills Photography provides you with much more than just pictures. Your magical time with Santa will leave you with precious memories that will last a lifetime, accompanied by beautiful art
pieces focusing on your children. Our albums, and fine art wall portrait collections, are perfect to celebrate the Christmas season and to revisit this truly special experience every year.
You Have Found That Place
The majority of our clients come to us from the Kitchener, Waterloo and Guelph areas, but we have had many visit us from several hours away and even different parts of the province. If you were looking for pictures with Santa, be prepared to be blown away, as we will give you so much more than just a photo with the jolly old Saint Nick! This will be a magical experience for all! We look forward to creating an exquisite holiday art piece of your children and giving you memories that will last a lifetime.

“John we just hung our 3 beautiful Santa canvases and we are actually speechless. These have a Norman Rockwell feel. The magic you have added to these photos makes me want to be a kid again. There is so much detail we can’t stop looking at them. You are a true artist.”
“John, I am still emotional. You and you wife along with Santa made our 4 year old feel so special. He talked about the whole experience the entire hour and 45 min drive home. He was so joyful and loved the time with Santa. Myself, aww how do I even begin to express how much it meant on so many levels. It will forever be in my heart. You are talented, professional and a very kind man. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

You won’t feel rushed.
You have a booked time which is just for your family. You are provided time for changing into pajamas. The Experience usually lasts 25-40 minutes but there is at least an hour inbetween start times for each family.
“Santa-fear” is virtually eliminated
Because your children are allowed more time to acclimatize they usually warm up after a few minutes. Or even 15! If needed you can be right beside them – we can remove you later!!
Real-bearded Santa
No fake beards here! Our Santa is a real-bearded, professional that has over 20 years experience.
This is important with older children who may be starting to question!!
No strangers will be watching
Having others watching makes you and your children feel uncomfortable and unnatural. The room containing Santa’s Workshoppe is separate from the waiting area so it’s just your family, Santa, my assistant and me!
Personal interaction
We have you provide us with some tidbits about you and your children ahead of time which is incorporated into their Experience. He will know what he brought them last year, if their house has a chimney and more.
NO FLASH Photography!
Some children have issues with professional flash equipment which makes it impossible to create relaxed images of them. Our continuous LED lighting system means NO FLASH bursts!
