Our Santa Visits and Memories Through the Years

Santa visits and holiday memories, nothing raises a parent’s blood pressure more. Something about heading to the mall on a frigid day, waiting in a long line with small, excited children to visit Santa, only to get a single picture like this when the time comes:

It’s a special kind of ✨holiday stress✨ for sure!

(Shout out to my little brothers for that fantastic Christmas memory)

When the time came for my kids to experience Santa, I decided we were going to do it differently. We hired a Santa to come to our house on Christmas Eve so we could have an authentic visit, with lots of interaction.

Hallmark moment? Yes. 
But the bad lighting and the fake beard? 🥴

My next attempt was to book a Santa mini session with a photographer. They were 5 min long and had a fantastic, authentic looking Santa! Finally, a picture I could frame and hang every season!

Except… the actual experience was anything but magical. None of my kids remember it even happening, it was fast, and awkward, and very much just a photo op.

WHY COULD’T I HAVE BOTH the hallmark moment and the aesthetic picture to go with it?!

Ahem: *The BBP Santa Experience enters the chat*

I might be biased, but we’ve literally created the ultimate Christmas tradition with these sessions. The interactions are incredible, the kids have time to warm up to Santa 

And even if some of them don’t warm up to the big guy, it still makes for a hilarious memory…

Early booking is underway and spots are filling up! 

Remember, we only have Santa for one day so when these spots are gone, that’s it until next year! 

AND if you book before Nov 1st you can use code SANTAVIP for $75 off your session! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? You will not regret giving your kids this experience, I promise 😍
