Families who want a quiet set in their own living room book a Santa Claus in Greater Nashville for photos instead of standing in a public line.
Santa Photo Session at Home
A Santa photo session is a visit built around the pictures. You pick the wall, the tree, and who stands in the frame. Santa for a photo shoot at home means he sits, you shoot, and he leaves when the time you booked is up. Ask about a Santa chair when you call and we can help arrange one locally. Private photos at home are a separate visit from a full list-and-gifts house call.
Living Rooms, Dens, and Bonus Rooms
East Nashville cottages, 12 South living rooms, and Green Hills dens all work when the light is decent and the floor is clear. Condo towers in the Gulch and Midtown need the front desk and the elevator. Brick ranches in Donelson and Hermitage often use a den at the back of the house. Subdivisions in Franklin, Brentwood, and Murfreesboro often put the set in a bonus room over the garage. Tell us which room. Turn on the tree. Move the dog crate. Have the gifts you want in the picture already unwrapped or wrapped — your choice.
What Makes the Pictures Work
One adult runs the camera so Santa can watch the child. A gas fireplace in the den is a good backdrop. Wet coats stay in the hall so they stay out of the picture. Standing shots by the tree are extra if the time you booked allows.
How to Book the Photo Visit
Call with the date, the town, and that this is photos. If you want the chair, ask on that call. For a full house visit built around the list and gifts, see Santa home visits.
Turn on every lamp you plan to keep in the picture. Overhead cans alone make faces hard. A tree with lights and a plain wall behind the chair is enough. Move toys and laundry out of the shot. If the dog will be in a picture, have a second adult ready. Babies photograph better before a missed nap; say the nap time when you pick the slot. Older kids do better when they know Santa is coming and the visit is short. One adult shoots. Santa watches the child.
Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna, Nolensville, Spring Hill, and La Vergne book photos the same way. Name the town and that this is pictures.
Name the town and that this is pictures. A 12 South living room, a Gulch condo, and a bonus room in Franklin are three different sets. Turn on the tree and clear the floor before he walks in.
