Early Bird Special - Book your private sitting for October and pay 2024 prices - that's a saving of $35.
Valid until 31st October 2025 the new price structure applies from 1st November.

Over the years, we’ve worked hard to keep our prices as affordable as possible, but like many small businesses we’re now facing significant increases in costs. Wages, superannuation, rent, and electricity have all risen significantly for our business.

To ensure families receive the very best quality and to continue offering the magical, authentic experience you expect — and to bring us in line with other private Santas — our prices will be rising this season. Through our market research we are still much lower than other Santa and non-Santa Christmas sessions.

We truly value your support and understanding and we remain committed to creating truely magical Christmas memories that are worth treasuring for years to come.

Private Sitting Pricing 2025

The cost this season is $100.00 per booking with a $40.00 deposit at the time of booking, the balance of $60.00 to be paid in cash on the day of the photos.

Keep an eye out for specials.
