We had an amazing Photos with Santa event this year! 🎅✨ Though we had fewer elf helpers, the ones we had did an incredible job making everything run smoothly and keeping the day full of joy.
I’ll always be deeply grateful to my husband, Derek—my rock—who supported me through every step of the organization. He’s the one who sets up our beautiful backdrop and makes sure it looks absolutely pristine—the heart of the event!
A huge thank-you to Caroline and her sweetheart, Jahi, for helping with setup, cleanup, and taking care of Max, and for making sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable. Special thanks as well to Michelle and Piyush for all their help with setup, cleanup, and greeting our guests.
This year, instead of a prize drawing, we played trivia—and our winners were fantastic! I’m curious to know what our guests preferred more: the trivia or the drawing.
And of course, a heartfelt thank-you to all our wonderful guests who made this event so special. I was thrilled to finally meet my long-time Facebook friend, Ludmila Ugbedah, and her beautiful family in person.
I’m already inspired and excited to start planning Photos with Santa 2026!
