We attended the ‘Father Christmas Experience’ and oh my goodness it was amazing! Santa was so REAL, even I was mesmerised by him! Set up was gorgeous and atmosphere just magical!The photos are FANTASTIC!
YOUR QUESTIONS
I always recommend plain and neutral coloured clothing as this best allows your images to focus on your family/children without distraction.
However, if you are feeling in the Christmas spirit, feel free to wear a Christmas jumper or Christmas pyjamas.

‘Father Christmas was brilliant, telling funny stories and mesmerising my baby girl. I loved watching them chuckle over a bottle of milk and a cookie together. It was magical seeing their faces light up.
It’s a unique experience I haven’t found before and Cassie has created a special encounter and setting to complement it all, which she captures effortlessly and now I have the pictures to cherish forever’
